• 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.

My gf send me a facebook emoticon in messanger. I knew what the emoticon was about and I did not want to see it. I was thinking about deleting the message but I wanted to act normal.

I just, opened the message and saw the emoticon. I freaked. There is a chance some years ago, that I made a rushed promise to God due to ocd, not to watch something specific and that emoticon was related to that.

Did I broke the promise? I am worrying a lot. I cant remember any promise. It is just, an hypothetical scenario of my ocd but what if i made a rushed, promise? What if my ocd, that time, was telling me to watch something and I did not want to and could not ignore it so, I made the rushed promise in order to force myself to ignore my ocd?

I cant remember. is the promise valid? did i break it?
