I was wondering is I could ask for prayer for myself. The OCD or atleast i think its the OCD has driven me to loose my desire for the Lord. It has really done a number to my mind and im so confused if my desires are for the Lord or not and hurt by the feelings that i have. I confess to Him and ask for His forgiveness and except it by faith but there seems something else is missing, like a true love for Him and a desire for Him. I have a desire to do the things of christianity but the actual devotion for the Lord HImself is very little if any, i think. To put all that and my struggles with ocd isnt helping. I start my medication tommorow (prozac) which this is the first time i have ever taken any kind of medication like that before. Though I think it may help me to be a little calm in my mind, it still isnt gonna fix my desires or relationship with the Lord, so if you guys could pray that the Lord will open my blind eyes, and give life to my dead heart, and give me disernment, that would be greatly appreciated.

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.

I know it doesn't feel at all right at the moment but this will pass. The dryness/numbness to God is something a lot of us have experienced when our OCD is rampant. The brain refuses to do anything else except be afraid. I've felt that same way but my feelings of love and desire for the Lord did eventually come back. It's an awful place to be in but you have to blame it on your brain and not on your lack of a relationship with God.
Remember that "If our heart condemns us - God is greater than our heart."
Be patient with the Prozac as it can take awhile to kick in but I'm glad you are taking measures to treat the OCD. It took me a very long time to get up the courage to try meds. but I'm glad I did.
Hang in there.

Constantly remind yourself of what Jesus did for you, and how His sweet victory of the cross at Calvary is the greatest moment in the history of the Universe! Once you realize just what He did and who you are in Him, the more you feel love for Him. Also remember the more time you spend with Him, the better you get to know Him. Be honest with Him. Tell Him how you feel and what you're going through, even if it's indifference. He understands! He still loves us, even if we were mad at Him! We are His children, what an awesome thing!
