• 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 was feeling at peace & things were going better for me. I had requested prayer & those days of it were great. I noticed I was even eating better.
I wasn't binging on chocolate & other sweets, bcause I wasn't obsessing near as much on different things in my life.
I made candy & hardly tasted it...which isn't easy for me to do usually:blush:

Now I feel I am going backwards right into the obsessing phase. I even have to confess when I was up at 6:00 & couldn't sleep I ate icecream right after I got up.

I did learn through this experience how much obsessive thoughts affect my life. I hadn't seen the huge connection like I did till I had those days of peace I was blessed with. I suppose Im a little down tonite feeling like the crazy looping thoughts will always be a part of my life:sigh:

:hug: I'm sorry you're going through this. Are you on any medication? I have to take it or I obsess too much.
Thanks:) I am feeling somewhat better this evening. It probably helps that the stress of Christmas & family gatherings is soon to be over.
I do take meds for Panic Disorder, but I should check to see if it is recommended for Obsessive disorder.
