• 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.

I don't have Pure-O OCD about much, but this is really frustrating me...

I have violent thoughts about hurting my friends, family, cats, and most of all, my girlfriend who is soon to be my fiancee. I have had some Pure O thoughts since I was about 12 but didn't really recognize them as OCD until this summer and they didn't become a REAL issue until the past month. That is to say, they weren't something that bothered me much until recently.

The problem is I have a hard time being intimate with these people because I become scared I will hurt them in an irrational moment. This really hurts me when it comes to my girlfriend and I am sick of this and ready to get over it. What should I do?

for a couple of months i had the same problem, i couldnt look at my family i had muderous thoughts in my head, family, pets, God than it moved to everyone i saw in public.

For a long time i thought to myself "what of this will be me in the future" Everyone is honestly different but imo and experiance, force yourself to be with them, keep telling yourself youre not this person and its OCD.

I tried the whole staying away from everyone, but whenever i saw them again it would happen again. Pray and fight it. This was a very hard fear for me to get over and i really do wish you the best of luck, and you will be in my prayers.

I tell you the truth the more you are afraid you might do it the worse it is gonna manifest.

God Bless
