• 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.

I have ocd probably and feel bad for it. bad thoughts and coincidences ruin my day. I am planning to confess my sins to a priest today for the first time. But... Something worries me. I used to get attacked by thoughts that are not mine that think bad things and I say to God many times that these are not mine and not to happen. Today, a bad thought came when I was thinking about confession. it was not mine! the thought was request punishment from God for going to confession today. I feared and wanted to say to God not to punish me as I always do. the problem is that when I opened my mouth to say that I somehow made a mistake and missed the word "not" (in greek I think). instead of be like " do not punish me" it came out as "do punish me". now I am having second thoughts about going to confession today. I fear If it counts cause I said it with my lips. I did not want any of that. please pray for me. I need some pray for strength
