• 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.

So, my ocd fear is about making promises to God without my will.

I once, had some thoughts without my will about not to return to a church in neos kosmos. I do not remember what the words without my will and I can not confirm if they were 100% without my will.

ocd: maybe they were semi-intentional and there is a chance they maybe happened while you were doing the cross sign due to the compulsion maybe they became valid.

I overpray, I became an anxiety freak and I tried not to even think the word "promise" and I end up worrying about this stuff. I have told God many times that I do not want them. I never made a promise. they are just thoughts without my will due to frustration.

I was calming down when I heard in tv something that reminded me my ocd worry. it was about a woman who asked from God to be turned on stone and He did it. that reminded me my ocd fear.

as I was thinking if this was a coincidence or a sign, at that very moment, I hear my grandma say to my father stuff like

"they are signs. they cant be cleaned"

ocd: maybe a God is sending you signs to tell you that your thoughts without your will are valid. and that you must keep the compulsions of the ocd.

and I do not know if Jesus is real. my ocd is telling me

ocd: maybe there is an other God who is in charge and does not accept ocd as an excuse.

Ok, friend, calm down. Your ocd is just messing with your head.

Here is a prayer I use when my thoughts start racing;

"Jesus, I love you, and trust You! Help me to love You and trust You more, and have mercy on me! Please guide my life. Thank you, Lord! Amen!"
