• 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

So like prior to all of this I was a bad student in school because of on going mental stuff like add and depression. But when I really put my all into it I did some good stuff. I don't know when I started having OCD symptoms presenting it's self but I remember making vows with God asking him to inflict others or myself with sickness if I didn't do something (apart of OCD is vow making). Anyway after making a vow about transportation issues I would I would never take a plane or train anywhere. Just buses. I asked God to kill me in both if I didn't stop habitual sin. Eventually I started getting in into the Bible and what it said concerning vow making. Again you have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform to the Lord what you have sworn.’ But I say to you, Do not take an oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God in Matthew. So I got more scared. I just started believing God was out to get me. The verses commingly posted like Phil 1:29, Acts 9:16 and Isaiah 53:10 became all I knew. I seen a priest and he just convinced me that I should take my sufferings as an offer to God and that he did spare Paul, Jesus or the persecuted church of suffering so why anybody else? Between mentally struggling everyday and school going down I turned to drugs like acid and shrooms. I got excited going to sleep so I can escape my thoughts, After dropping all of friends, interests an hobbies I became a hermit. Anyways make a long story short I was told had to go with my parents somewhere since my great grandmother hurt herself severely but I'm not sure what got over me but as soon as I got there I freaked out and said "he's gonna kill me if I get on" and started screaming and punching the security guards. Again I did take acid that night before so yeah. Now I'm laying here justing thinking about when God will get me tbh.

Welcome to the forum in Jesus name it's a great place to be for fellowship with Christians.
The medicine I prescribe is to read your Bible and pray every day.
John 3:16 is my favourite verse.
God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that all who believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life.

May the Lord bless you richly as you seek more of him in your life.

I know how you feel, I have ocd and it's really hard to deal with. Just remember that God really really loves you and Jesus died for us. He definitely isn't out to get you. Jesus is always with you. God loves you and Jesus is Lord

I'm so sorry to hear about your struggles. :( My belief is that God understands our weaknesses and is patient with us. Instead of condemning us for them, He wants to help lead us toward a healthier life. Because Jesus came to earth, He knows just how difficult the human life is. He is our good Shepherd, and walks with us and gives us grace. What kind of help are you receiving now? Are you receiving any treatment for your mental disorders, including OCD?
