• 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.

Hey I don't know how many of you guys remember me, but I decided to drop by to say hey, give an update, and make a request. I have to say that for a while now I haven't really been thinking obsessively or feeling extremely anxious. I have the bad thoughts everyday, but I have been able to ignore them. Every so often the thoughts will race up and I maybe cancel them out, but I even find myself saying "No...you have been through this enough, just ignore it and move on." I still deal with the daily thought that I am not living up to what God wants me to be, but God knows I am not perfect, and I thank Him for His patience with me, and I will continue to pray.

I really wanted to come here for prayer request for a situation. I am a member of another online Christian community called Worthyboards. Well....it seems like the link is broken tonight or something. Not that you guys are a second resort, it's just that I haven't been having many issues to come here for recently. But I know that you are willing to pray for any situation...I hope you will. It's regarding my sister. She is lost and extremely depressed. I feel I have failed her in many areas as a brother. But I try to be as patient with her as I can, and I love her no matter what. She has no confidence, self esteem, or anything. I'm going to start tomorrow off with a hug and an "I love you," and will try my best to show her Jesus. I need prayers for her and myself. Thank you.

Hi DeepBlue,
I remember you too and I'm so happy to hear how well your managing your OCD. That's an awesome blessing. I will pray for you as you reach out in love to your Sister that God will really touch her life and lead her to healing through you.
Glad you thought to ask for prayer from us. It's a priviledge to do so.
