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.

Becoming closer to God is something u have to do on your own. Just continue to pray and let Him guide u. You're struggling because youre having these thoughts. Speak to your parents honestly about what happened. They love u and will do what they think is best for u. Including praying for u. Please go speak with them and they would get the help u need.
This is a very typical obsession among Christians with OCD. Were you able to talk to your parents? What did they say? I can't remember if I sent you this website already, but I've found a lot of helpful information on it, especially in the blog posts: OCD & CHRISTIANITY – CHRISTIANITY. With OCD, we must learn to ignore our obsessive fears. With OCD, our brains have excess anxiety, so we tend to latch onto incidents/issues that most people would logically be able to dismiss as not a big deal. But what we do is start over-analyzing them, and our brains distort the issues and exaggerate them. We become unnecessarily afraid, and the more we dwell on the issues, the more real and big they seem. It's so important to learn how to ignore those fears, and to keep living our lives as best we can without giving into what the OCD wants us to do. I can talk more about how to do this if you want.
