• 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

Isn't that what we all want. to not care anymore whether our anxiety is high or our obsessions seems so real. I today spiked, twice. the 1st one I kinda let go. the second one was a lit'l more angry. So I called my mom up and was looking for reassurance and it kinda helped me honestly. Now I'm just like I don't care what you say I am. Dead or at God's judgement or maybe I'm sleeping and have passed away 4 yrs ago when I tried to commite suicide. Who know's right? But I know who I put my trust in and that's Christ. 4 yrs ago I went thru a psychosis that was drug induced. I thought that I died. Plagued with voices tell this day that tell me I'm done. But wisdom is proven right by all her children. Guy's your just going to have to let go. This OCD is not as big as it makes you feel. I hope my words on here will help someone in need.

Well I'm not backing down or anything but I could use some support. It's a scary thought to think you have died and lost everything. even tho I have the answer right in front of me that, that is not true. My OCD say's it is. But I'm kinda just dealing with it. And guy's I need your prayers also. I have not been to church in like 3 months. I have a addiction to Benzo's ever since I found out that they helped so much when I didn't know how combat OCD but now it's just a monkey on my back. I hope thru this spike it will bring me closer to God and not make me feel as tho I'm already done and I'm just waiting for him to say the words, Depart from me.

Hi Dabro,
You're doing a good job, even though it feels awful. Feeling doomed and cast off thankfully doesn't mean we are. Your attitude of riding it out and doing your level best to ignore the spikes and to just press on in your determined effort to live out your faith by your walk is praiseworthy.
I'll be praying for you that God will help you over this hump and also give you the strength and perseverance you need to overcome the benzo addiction. I hope you're not beating yourself up about that. It happens to a lot of people who need those drugs for their disorder. Guilt won't help - just a determined effort to get all the help you need with it.
So glad to hear from you!
