• 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 going to be evaluated hopefully soon and get medication, but now I am worried about the mark in revelations that I keep promising that varying things will give it to me, I keep resigning and feeling like "oh well, better live my life" but that is not what I want. I want to get better, I keep telling myself Jesus wouldn't let that happen that He would intercede for me and it would never happen but I am afraid. What if it is invisible?

I keep telling myself Jesus wouldn't let that happen that He would intercede for me and it would never happen but I am afraid.

May I encourage you to read and to trust what Jesus said.
John 6: 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”


Look at verse 39, Jesus in doing God the Fathers will, he will not loose Any of those he has been given.

We are not promised an easy life, but we are promised a secure place with Jesus for he holds on to you, not you to him.

May I also encourage you to read the web site:-

This type of obsession is actually quite common among Christians with OCD. It sounds like you're still using compulsions to try to "get rid of" the obsession, which tends to backfire. What are some OCD strategies that you think you could put into play for this obsession?
