• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hey everyone. I am new here and would just like to say hello. Like a lot of people here I also struggle with OCD. I've had it since I could remember but was not diagnosed with it till about 2 years ago. I too have blasphemous thoughts and urges. I started that when I was about 13. I was ashamed by it, embarass, and scared to tell anyone. Me being that young, assumed they were my own thoughts. I struggled with this for about 13 years. My checking and counting I could live with, but the intrusive thoughts that attacked me constantly was to much to bare. When I was going through it, all my prayers were just asking for forgivness. At times I felt I comitted "the unpardonable sin" Even though prayer counselours told me I didn't, I always felt like I was an exception. I asked Jesus for forgiveness and to be my Lord and Savior, but even that seems impossible. I can't count how many times i've done that prayer. I am very thankful that this forum does exist, and theres people who love God and are on the same boat as me. I honestly thought that I was the only one who did this. I love reading your guys testimony and the encouragement that follows it. My prayers are with you, and you are not alone.:wave:

Yes, just to reiterate~ you are definitely NOT alone. My own counselor told me that in her experience almost all Christians who struggle with OCD will have the "fear of having blasphemed the Holy Spirit" at one time or another. Sounds like you have a pretty good grasp on at least knowing what you're dealing with and that's a good bit of the battle right there! Praying for you!:prayer:
