• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Im sorry if it sounds like a broken record the truth is i have no one to go to talk to that understands other than this forum.

Last night i had a terrible headache , i medicated myself with otc drugs and then the intrusive thoughts started ..

It was like a tidal wave of blasphemies and what scares me is that im not sure if i thought any of things deliberately or not .. Most of the time i can tell but its like when in pain and or realy stressed out the line blurs between what was youre own thought and this condition.

Does anyone know what i am talking about?

Haven't dealt with this aspect specifically. I think it helps to remember, though, that you really don't have to monitor your thoughts, so to speak. If your heart doesn't want these thoughts, (and if it did you wouldn't care one way or the other in my opinion) anything else is just "mind clutter" triggered by the OCD.That's my .02 anyway.

Yep, the anxiety can be so overwhelming that it's hard to even think clearly and then the fact that I can't sort anything out freaks me out and I begin to think that this is "the big one" where I've passed the point of no return. Not fun, but also not true. Just an OCD storm, that passes and leaves the real you still intact.
Hang in there, keep learning, don't look back, press on and walk.
Praying for you,
Mitzi

mitzi what bothers me about that is the fact that the heart IS desperately wicked who can no it .. this is so true and it is a logical question .. how do you know that you know that you know it wasn't from youre heart ?

i know you can go crazy with that ..

To me its just not enough to know that i would not say this given the choice ,,

For example in youre sane moments lol how many times have you said something or thought something out of anger toward a human being and it just happened in the heat of the moment ..

this is scary stuff ..
