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.

Hi, my name is Zack and I just want you to know that the ocd you have is very common and that God loves you and He can help you with all things. God bless you and Jesus is Lord.
I'm not a mother and have not had harm OCD per se, but as a teen I had pedophilia OCD in regards to young children that I knew. It was terrible! Do you have any professional help for your OCD? It's really key to learn therapy strategies and how to handle your thoughts and control your actions. Also, have you heard of the Facebook group "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders"? That might be helpful to join as there are lots of people on there with OCD, including mothers, and if I remember right I think some have had harm OCD as well. OCD can be awful to go through, but thank God there is hope for living in victory over it!!
