• 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 have real bad OCD but only in some areas - handwashing, checking, worrying about my health. It has gotten better from counseling and meds. But i still have what I had before it was treated - just not as bad. God has helped too. I suppose I am just supposed to have some OCD. We all have burdens. But I am wondering because I don't know, if anyone ever completely gets over their OCD, completely? I can live like this and actually have a good life. I'm just a little stranger than some and do a lot of checking.

well in spite of what youre doctor will likely tell you there is no one cause for ocd just like there is no one cause for depression ..it actually varies but the truth is and ill be completely honest until you treat the causes there is no recovery from ocd ..unless youres happens to just a chemical imbalance
and even then the meds will never ever adresse the root causes so to answer youre question yes there have been documented cases of complete recovery but it is very rare because what really needs to be done in a majority of theses cases is overlooked .
