• 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

I just don't get it, I could gather all the evidence in the world like, shroud of turin, every book on Jesus, the Gospels and prayer, and my mind still manage to go left field. One day I'm strong in my faith, and the following day I'm lost and wondering if God is real. I was sooo strong in my faith so gun whole in my relationship with Jesus, then Ocd decided to latch on to the one thing I loved and that was my relationship with Jesus. Sometimes I just want to throw my phone, and punch walls, or bang my head because of the fustration. many times i say to myself ima just give up, and leave Christ alone, but then I think I love him and I dont want to go; and I know soon as I leave Christ, I am just going to be disturbed with something else...or its still going to be about Christ..What do I do, What do I do.....so ready to lay on the couch and die. Going to church, God Bless all.

Going to church? Good for you!! No avoidance allowed. I agree with KayKay. This is OCD so you need help learning to ignore all of it. If you attend to it, it will just get bigger and meaner.

One thing that helps me is to trust the word, not what feelings of faith that I feel. I can't stop that doubtful feeling I get, but I can make the decision to agree that the word of God is true and act on it as such, despite how I may feel.
