• 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.

caty i have wondered that so many times .

The truth is ..you can 't know with 100% certainty and that is a frightening thought .. If you do not want the thought if it is intrusive or tells you something that is just disgusting to you or something you would never do , you can be assured that it is a malfunction of your brain plain and simple .

The questions to ask yourself are A. Do i want this thought

B. Would i do this thing

C. Does it give me a feeling of anxiety .

If it makes you anxious thats a pretty clear sign it is OCD .. Especially if you feel need to to think about it over and over again .

they make me sick and i always think back & try to remember if i thought it up or whatever, I dont like any of them & i really dont want to be thinking them, im scared now.


then that in itself is proof that you don't want them ... and btw jesus never said that these thoughts are the unpardonable sin ...
