• 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.

What's the difference between feeling a need for something and obsessing over that something? How do you know when the things you percieve your heart needs in a relationship are actually obsessional thoughts that tear you apart?

Please, help...


i think i understand .... the truth is you don't know you can't know and its one of the horrible things about this condition . it is easy to simply label it as OCD and then drug it or try to talk it away or you could take another approach and try to find out what thosse needs really are and adresse them within that relationship
