• 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.

Due to ocd, I wanted to check something on my fork. I checked and everything was fine but there was a spot that I think, I could not check easily. I did not want to look weird to my brother so, I pretended that I was looking at my fork while eating and daydreaming, I think. On the same time I was checking it, secretly. I think, pretending that I am daydreaming while looking at my fork and doing my ocd compulsion (checking it about something) made me look/check the form more than enough.

When I realised that I freaked because 2 years ago, I made a rushed promise to God about not rechecking my boiler heater and some other house stuff, compulsively. I do not know if the promise was only for the boiler heater and other stuff, or for everything that has to do with rechecking as part of a compulsion in general. I think, I did not realise that I was checking my fork many times, probably, due to thinking other stuff and pretending. I completely, forgot the promise about not rechecking compulsively. Did I broke the promise?

The only promise you need to focus on is the one Jesus made you and to those who put their trust in Him.

“My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous;“ says John in 1 John
