• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

ocd does not make you doubt God exists. it can make u think u do but deep down u believe like fifigirl and frank but not true doubt and if it was Ocd there is no way to prove it one way or the other.

If you are willing to believe, that's enough of a beginning.

Huh? I want to believe. I was told either you do or don't. All that keeps going on in my head is I want to but I can't know. No body else on here with faith OCD if there is a thing (doubt God exists from OCD) is scared they are going to hell. Fundamentalists say your chosen. It makes since and scares me. I cannot know they are not right. I feel like I have been forsaken by God. Born to just to burn. There is no OCD God exists it's all trust and God chooses who has that trust (faith). I used to want to reach unsaved people when I believed wholeheartedly. Then help people with doubts like me now I don't feel like doing anything for God. He has let me go because I keep reaching. I get excited when I see other doubters status' on Facebook like under religion as other cause I am not alone but freak afterwards I am going to hell because of this it stinks .

As I posted in the other thread, you can make the choice for belief--faith being believing in what is not seen.
