I just found this forum online yesterday. I have OCD. It started impacting my life in my teenage years. I didn't know what it was then. During college, it wasn't much of a problem. But in recent years, it has gradually gotten worse. I have the type that you check the stove, oven, locks, etc. Lots of anxiety, and even some panic attacks. About 2.5 years ago, I began dealing with religious OCD. It appears a few of the posters on here have dealt with the same things I have dealt with. I was saved at an early age. Though, I have made great strides and an improved understanding of the Bible and my faith since it began bothering me. I could go on and on of things I have dealt with. I do at times question my salvation, because of this disease. I am glad I found this forum, because it shows me there are people dealing with the same things I deal with on a day to day basis. Some days/weeks are good. Some are not. My OCD is not present everyday, but the good days are few. I have seen a doctor, and we decided to wait about doing anything. But I do feel I will address this problem in the near future. Good luck and God Bless to you all.

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.
