I posted a thread, I think it was on Sunday entitled "just needed some reassurance".Just wanted to give an update I went to see my primary care Doctor Mon. afternoon and Got back on celexa or the generic brand.I had a brother in the Lord once tell me "God saw into the future and saw that I would need this med. and had someone invent it." I haven't been spiking but I'm experiencing some mild depression. I dont know if its because it makes me sad to have this struggle or what.I struggle the most with thoughts in the morning when I wake up. Does anybody have that same problem.still having the thoughts but I'm just ignoring them.I would like to be more in touch with the people on this forum any suggestions. Do I just keep posting. thanks for your prayers.

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.

Glad you are getting somewhere in your struggle, it sounds like. There are a lot of great areas on this site--maybe if you are interested in exploring some of the other areas too, to get more in touch.

Hi 'Renewed,
When my OCD is flaring, I definitely have bouts of depression. It's common to have that, but nonetheless, very uncomfortable.
Give the meds. time... but you already know that.
Once they start to kick in, don't make the mistake of just depending solely on them. Learn about ERP and begin to practice it on your obsessions.
Just like you, I had certain times of the day when my obsessions were worse.
Keep posting, like you said. You'll get a lot of good counsel here as well as a lot of love and compassion for your suffering.
Hang in there!
Praying for you,
Mitzi

I totally understand about the mornings. That is when I have the worse time with my depression, anxiety, and OCD (when I have spikes). You are not alone in this and it isn't easy, I know.
I just prayed for you. I prayed for your comfort and that God would help strengthen you in the morning. PM me if you ever just need to talk.

Praying for you. I also have more obsessive thoughts in the morning. It takes me a while in the morning to start feeling better but I do start to feel better. Give the meds time to help. This is a great place for help.
