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.

Normal people have such thoughts, & if you are worried enough to write about it or if It bothers you than I think it's obvious that you do not want these thoughts, & God knows this so relax & turn it over to Him.

I use to have the same problem when I was 13...Thoughts with my voice would flood my head with basphemies...I was delivered from it 8 months later...It's normal I suppose. I just flood my mind with Godliness now..That usualy works: foucsing on things that are holy/godly and worthy of praise.
What I thought helped me alot was keeping the radio on all day and keeping it on the Christian station. (well until I went to bed anyway)

"Do your thoughts make you feel...
Are you...
"Tormenting thoughts that we do not choose to think come from Satan, the enemy of our soul. He puts those thoughts there and we accept them as ours. So we feel guilty about them. This is mental oppression, a ploy of the devil. When he starts to bring to bring up things like that you have to tell him to leave you alone. If you resist the thoughts, they’ll eventually leave. ...Say outloud: 'I will not be controlled by negative thoughts. I renounce these thoughts in the name of Jesus. God has not given me a spirit of fear [2 Timothy 1:7]. I have the mind of Christ and I refuse any thoughts that are not of Him.” (Stormie Omartian)
"Scripture clearly teaches that Satan is capable of putting thoughts into our minds. ...These deceptive thought come first person singular in such a way that we think they're our own thoughts." (Neil Anderson)
"The Devil throws hidous thoughts into the soul--hatred of God, blasphemy, and despair. ...Sometimes he produces such as to make me doubt whether or not there is a God." (Martin Luther)
"The enemy's chief target is the mind because the most effective way to influence behavior is to influence thinking." (Bethe Moore)
"'Voices' in the mind are not uncommon: blaphemous mockeries,spurts of temptation to wallow in vile fantasy or behavior, pursuasive lines of belief. Classic spiritual warfare inteprets these as coming from the evil one." (David Powlison)
"I have counseled hundreds of believers who are struggling with their thought life. Some have difficulty concentrating and reading their Bible, while others actually hear 'voices' or struggle with accusing or condemning thoughts. With few exceptions these struggles have proven to be a spiritual battle for their mind. This shouldn't surprise us since we have been warned in 1 Timothy 4:1: 'The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.'
"...Many people will assume the are mentally ill...Are they mentally ill or is there a battle going on for heir mind?...Psychiatrits and psychologists routinely see patients who are hearing voices: chemical imbalance is the standard diagnosis. I believe our body chemistry can get out of balance and cause discomfort and hormonal problems can throw our systems off. But I also believe there are other legitimate questions to be asked, such as, 'How can a chemical produce a personal thought?' and 'How can our neurotransmitters involuntarily and randomly fire in such a way that they create thoughts that we are opposed to thinking?' Is there a natural explanation? ...I don't think we will have a comprehensive answer unless we take into account the reality of the spiritual world.
"...Much of what is being passed off today as mental illness is nothing more than a battle for our minds."
(Neil Anderson)
"This [superficial] wisdom is not such as comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual [animal], even devilish."
"Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers...authorities...world powers of darkness...spiritual forces of evil in the heavens." (Ephesians 6:12)
"Satan offers wrong thinking to everyone, but we do not have to accept his offer." (Joyce Meyer)
"We are in a war. ...Our warfare is not with other human beings but with the devil and his demons (Ephesians 6:12).The primary battlefield is the mind. The goal of our warfare...is to steal back our thought life and take it captive to Christ instead. ...The weapon is the Word [of God]." (Joyce Meyer)
"Jesus tells us how we are to win the victory over the lies of Satan. We must get the knowledge of God's truth in us, renew our minds with His Word, then use the weapons of 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 to tear down stronghold's and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.” (Joyce Meyer)
"We take our thoughts captive, making them obedient to Christ, every time we choose to think Christ's thoughts about any situation or strongholdinstead of Satan's or our own. What are Christ' thoughts? The Word of God revealed to us. ...We must know the Word of God well enough to be able to compare what is in our mind with what is in the mind of God; any thought that attempts to exalt itself above the Word of God we are to cast down and bring into captivity to Jesus Christ" (Bethe Moore)
"Whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]." (Philippians 4:8)
"The thief [Satan] comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (Jesus, John 10:10)
“If you continue in My Word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” (Jesus, John 8:31-32)

Most of us with OCD have had unwanted/instrusive and disturbing thoughts that get stuck in our heads. If you have OCD your brain will overeact to them by flooding your system with an over abundance of fight or flight chemistry. When that happens you experience excruciating anxiety -that fist to the gut feeling. That feeling will cause you to focus intently on the thoughts and fight against them in a myriad of ways. That focusing will cause them to get more stuck in your head. Then of course, the very fact that you can't stop thinking them makes you freak out all the more.
If this sounds way too familiar to you than you might want to consider that you have OCD. Best way to find out is to see a Dr. OCD can be a mild nuisance or it can be very distressing and debilitating. If it's interferring greatly with daily functioning or causing you to feel depressed then it would be wise to seek professional help.
Stay on the forum too as there arelots of folk on here who understand what you're going through and can offer support, encouragement, love and heartfelt prayers.
I'm praying for you,
Mitzi
