Hey all, I have a very sever case of OCD, and over time its been getting a lot better thanks to all your prayers! But I have a quick question: Sometimes ill think about a something wrong i have done many years ago ( nothing bad, or anything like that, but of course as many of you know, OCD makes everything bad, its like a self-punishing cycle, right?) but my question is, sometimes when I think of something from long ago, or something my OCD fear builds up on, I tell myself "Oh God, now that you thought about it, or thought this could happen, then it probably will" I think thats thought action fusion. IS that common in people who have OCD? Then I start obsessing and fearing the worst, even though realistically, there is nothing there, im just creating scenarios in my head, and believing that they are going to come true just by the very fact I thought about it. I am just glad that I ave gotten to a healthy enough point that I don't believe its God putting these thoughts in my head. A lot of time with my OCD I call these things "God" when its really OCD, as if God is trying to divinly warning me of whats going to happen, or punish me for what I did. I am sure many people with OCD have gone through that at some point during their trial. But any suggestions on the TAF would be appreciated. PS- I developed OCd last march and turned here a few months after. Thanks for all your continued support and prayer. I would not have made it as far as I did without all this forums encouragement. OCD truly is a living hell, im just glad I had a little piece of heaven to get me through it.

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.
is TAF common with OCD?
