A lot of the time i find that my thoughts and feelings tell me something is wrong and tells me that im sinning or messing up when im not. I believe that this is just my ocd causing me problems. But the thing is this, when it is our ocd that is working through our feelings and thoughts to make us believe things that are not true how can we not get deceived into believe the ocd? I ask because my ocd comes in a way that tries to make me believe the thoughts and feelings are true. This can put me in a huge battlle.

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.
Not trusting thoughts and feelings

drummingman, I could of written that same post you just wrote. That is where I struggle the most, being afraid that I am labeling something OCD that's not OCD. I know how it is to have the thoughts and feelings seem so real. It is scary not being able to trust your own feelings and thoughts. I can't be of much help, since I am in the same boat, but I just wanted you to know you aren't alone.

*hugs* no, you are not alone. I just try to ignore them, although sometimes even that doesn't work.
