• 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'm really having a hard time today. Yesterday, it seemed like my OCD had lessened. I went shopping and it didn't take so long to pick out items (sometimes with my OCD I will look at 4 or 5 different ones of the same thing just to make sure they don't have flaws). I felt like all my rituals weren't as bad. Today I feel attacked by the OCD. (For instance, that last sentence got rewrote a few times and it still doesn't seem right). I am dealing with a few other issues also. I'm crying and it feels like I won't stop. I feel like I could sleep forever sometimes.

I understand what you are going through. Sometimes when I don't have an OCD attack for several days I think that maybe this is it and it's finally gone. Then when it comes back it feels horrible, but no matter how bad I feel eventually it starts to go away.

I'm crying and it feels like I won't stop.
Remember, The Lord is always with you and loves you. In times that you cry try to imagine what it must be like for Him.

If you would like to talk about your other issues feel free to PM me.
I will be praying for you.
