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.
Does smoking help OCD ?

Remember this: God is faithful even when we're not
Hey,
I'm a smoker and I have found that when my OCD is spiking that smoking can help calm me down some (not much). I haven't tried to quit smoking so I can't answer you if it gets worse when you quit. I agree that it's a bad habit and I wish I had never started in the first place as well. Best advice I can offer is to ask God to help you. It seems to me that you want to quit and I would ask God to help you quit and deal with the OCD and just rely on His strength to get you through. I know that is easier said than done. Hope this helped you some.

I have quit before and my ocd did not get worse. I was on medication for OCD, though,so that may have made a difference. May Jesus heal you. There are counselors who specialize in OCD that might be able to help you too. All the best to you.
