• 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

It doesn't matter at all doubt is doubt! I mean look at how strong you are you've clinged to God through all your doubts now that is some pretty strong faith! God is so happy with you right now your fighting your doubts and refusing to believe them so you can be saved and be with God! God wont hold these doubts against you or me or anyone.

if God wasnt real neither would you be. Dont let Satan fool you so easily. Im sorry but you need to let go of these thoughts. Faith is believing without seeing. You dont need anymore proof than that everything IS! If you truely dont believe in God then yes you will go to hell, but if you get thoughts that arent your own then it is just the devil messing with your brain. Keep reading God's word and dont let the worldly status quo get to you. their is proofof God but since the world is controled by satan obviously the devil will try to make up junk to take us to hell. I have personal proof of God but i dont want to sit here and explain it. :) Keep praying and believing. There is no harm in believing but HELL (literally) if you dont.

Jesusisgood, do you now or have you ever had OCD? I'm just curious, because by reading your post I don't think you've ever experienced what these guys are going through. Some of your comments are doing more harm than good.
Listen guys, the devil is enjoying your suffering because it makes you ineffective in your service to God. But not all bad things that happen to us is caused by the devil. Sometime, it's just something physical or mental that cause us misery. We're just human and our flesh is weak and imperfect.
OCD is not a religious problem, it just attacks the things that we hold most dear to us.

I try ao hard to explaine to you how this disorder works. It kinda dawned on me one day as my mind was being pulled apart. I stopped giving answer to the question that Fed the disorder. OK. Good we have that down number2. I had tp realize that I wasn't going to escape this disorder and that I will have it my whole life.. # I got on some SSRI that have made me feel better but ERP is truly that way to go. Many ppl don't understand therapy so it causes them to drop out/ But once you have figured and by God Grace He's shown me you will be able to develope coping skills that will help you when it bites and you feel the OCD rollarcoaster all over again.
