• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey Nick,
Just a little confused by your question. I have heard of OCD causing unwanted pornographic thoughts or images with some people but these images or thoughts are in no way desired by the person. They are disgusted by them, very upset that they had them and think that it must mean that they are evil inside etc. This is a very anxiety provoking experience. This is in no way related to sexual sin which is a chosen behavior which the person takes temporary pleasure in as they allow their flesh to rule.
Don't know if that's what you were referring to but that's the best I can offer.

Hey there again guys,

Just wanted an answer to this question as it would answer a lot of questions about my past.

Is it possible to confuse sexual arousal to anxiety with someone who has OCD but DOESN'T know they have OCD?

Thanks,
Nick
