• 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.

I am not sure if I am in the right forum. But anyways starting about a month ago I watched way too many episodes of supernatural stuff and it got me thinking of this stuff. Since then it has been on my mind, causes some anxiety. Only really bothers me around bedtime I jump at every little noise. I live by myself. I know God is protecting me but I can't help but think about it. After hearing about the stories it really freaks me out (scratches at night, shadow mists). I have never handled this topic well as I grew up in what one would call a "haunted" house, really just strange happenings which was not evil. Is this a mild case of OCD? I have always been a strong person mentally but get like this every once in awhile(sometimes I get to thinking I have a certain illness). This is longest a topic has bothered me though. I have had trouble finding scripture that God protects us from these things... any help is appreciated, thanks!

Well, number 1, you need to stop watching movies or tv shows regarding supernatural stuff. The Bible says to use your mind to think about things that are good, pleasant, righteous, liked by all, etc. Daily read your Bible and do what it says. You'll feel a lot better. By the way, jumping at noises at night and stuff like that, many times it's your mind playing tricks on you.
