• 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.

To my fellow OCD sufferers -

I've just discovered these videos by Katie d'Ath, and I wanted to share several that I thought were especially informative. This therapist does a great job of explaining how our thought processes work, and how we can start changing those thought processes. I'd encourage you to check out the rest of her videos as well!

I dealt with ocd for 4 years is hard but I hope this helps you God wrote this through my hub before I had ocd.

What I want from you Brittany, I want you to focus! Focus on Jesus Christ He is your Lord! Focus

on the priorities in your life. Your faith, MY CALL, you husband, music, serving ME! Focus on what you can do to strengthen these areas in your life that I just told you to

> focus on. How can you strengthen MY CALL for you? By

> realizing I have chosen you.

> You did not choose ME I chose you before the foundations of

> the world. Before I said let there be light I thought of you

> and chose you to be with ME forever. You are MY child, do

> not doubt that or base your relationship to ME on your

> circumstances or on what

> you are feeling, thinking, doing, or saying at any given

> time because those all change in the tides of time. Like a

> high tide and low tide in the ocean, feelings, thoughts,

> circumstances. What you say, do, feel, change and sometimes

> very suddenly. But I do

> not change! I do not lie! I do not change MY Mind even when

> you get stuck on a sand bar and are afraid to swim on in the

> sea of Life. Trust ME Brittany my beautiful daughter. Trust

> ME with all your heart, that includes all of your mind, your

> emotions, your

> feelings, your words and actions, trust ME to direct these

> areas. Lean not on your own understanding, this leads to

> confusion and obsessions when your choosing your own

> understanding and not MINE. In all your ways acknowledge ME.

> This means having a knowledge

> of me, a consciousness of ME even when it seems I cannot be

> found I am always there with you. Sometimes I am silent

> because this helps you to learn the Word that is already

> written. Silence builds faith, faith in ME and MY Word

> already spoken. They do not

> change everything all is and can be solved by living in MY

> Word. My Words are eternal and so is MY Love for you. I have

> a vision of you Brittany, of who I want you to be, DON’T

> RESIST THIS VISION! Do not persist in self, in your way, do

> not lean on your feelings

> that will lead to more confusion and trouble. LET ME SHAPE

> YOU AND CONFORM YOU INTO WHAT I ENVISION YOU TO BE! The

> devil is a liar he lies to you often. He lies to you through

> feelings and your own reasoning and understanding and this

> is why I say to focus

> on ME, I tell you the Truth always and I always have YOUR

> BEST IN MY HEART! Because you are in MY Heart! I love you

> eternally and unconditionally and I will finish what I have

> started but you can hinder the progress when you start

> relying on your senses and

> understanding again. That is why you need to learn MY

> SPIRIT! He is in you and will lead you on the Righteous Path

> of Light. You know the Way! You know the Truth! Brittany MY

> daughter you know whats LIFE! Choose LIFE! If it is negative

> reject it quickly it

> is an evil seed, a fiery arrow from the evil one aimed to

> destroy you. DO NOT ACCEPT IT. USE YOUR SHEILD OF FAITH AND

> YOUR SWORD TO FIGHT HIM OFF OF YOU, THE WORD OF GOD! I tell

> you do not be lazy about this, STAND FIRM no matter how

> strong the attack or temptation

> is, I will deliver you. Brittany live by what is written.

> Live by what you have heard from ME and by what you hear

> from ME. Brittany be careful about giving in to something

> before you have good reasons to believe it. This will take

> care of and put an end to

> being gullible and naïve. Not questioning everything and

> wondering about everything will put an end to the obsessions

> and the compulsions. Brittany be calm, be gentle, be slow to

> speak and react. Be courageous and bold and stand firm

> against all evil. Do everything

> out of love and selfless ambition. This is the mind and

> attitude of Christ Jesus MY SON and what pleases ME

> (Philippians 2:2-10). Use this time and circumstances to

> develop patience, endurance, and godly character. The

> character of MY children. Because that

> is what you are Brittany. YOU ARE MY BELOVED CHILD. I want

> you to repent of all your old ways they are evil. Ways

> includes bad habits and thinking patterns. This includes

> relying on feelings and emotions. Remember they can be

> deceptive because of the devil

> and the flesh and the enemies ability to manipulate them

> through your senses. What you see, hear, taste, smell, and

> touch. Through what feels good and looks good. Remember what

> is real is what is within you through ME! I desire mercy and

> love not sacrifice.

> Remember Brittany the faster you repent of the old the

> faster you will be made the new. You already are new. You

> are a new creation but I have to cut out all of the evil

> that was alive but is now dead and passing away. The faster

> you repent the faster you

> will be chosen to lead. I have made you a leader but a

> student must be fully trained first in order to be like your

> Master and Teacher and that is MY ONLY BEGOTTEN SON JESUS

> CHRIST YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR! Remember I love you MY child

> and do not forget what I

> have said!
