I made an impulsive vow to God that I wouldn't eat a real meal until I went to this local employment place, but I went to their website and they didn't have anything, and their number is disconnected and they had no listing when I called information. So I assume they're not there, I've made what feels like an effort to look for jobs online but when I made the vow I had the thought in my mind of physically driving somewhere. But I don't feel right driving my car because the car insurance was paid for by my last job, which I began to feel was sinful for me to be doing (truly, not ocd) and the money I made there was ill-gotten gain, same with my cell phone. I'm so confused, I'm getting really skinny but I don't want to break a vow to God, I've already cheated a few times with small meals but don't want to make it worse. I live with my parents and they're freaked out but I don't want to choose what they want over what God wants.

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.

God loves you. I am a father of a fourteen yr old and I wouldn't hold her to something I knew she could not fulfill especially if it was causing her harm like not eating. Surely I'm not More understanding than God or more compassionate.God loves you!He understands!

JohnB,
This is hyperscrupulosity. Part and Parcel of OCD. God knows it's a symptom of your disorder. He also wants you to listen to and honor your parents while you are living under their roof... right? So please... by all means eat. Not eating will only make your OCD symptoms worse, because low blood sugar makes us anxious.
Praying for you,
Mitzi
