• 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.

Hello all,

Haven't been on the board in a while. I have been doing so well the last year and half. My meds have helped and OCD was behaving but I recently changed jobs and my daughter is going to college in the fall and I think the new stress has brought on my harm OCD. It's not really directed at my kids now though, it's more thoughts toward myself, which I have had before also. It's not real bad yet and I am seeing my Dr Monday but I worry it will worsen and I hate the thoughts I have. I so wish I could just live my life and not be afraid or scared or have bad thoughts that make me sick to my stomach and not worry that I will "lose it" and do something crazy. I have such a great family and friends and I hate that I can't enjoy them like I should. Sometimes I wish Jesus would just return and we could all just go to heaven but then that thought bothers me because my head says I wish I was in heaven so I must want to die and I don't want to die and the vicious circle continues. Well, I guess I just needed to vent and ask for a little support for others who know how I feel. Praying that I soon feel better and that all of you are having a peaceful night.

Kathy

Sorry you're having troubles. Hopefully a visit to your therapist will help to clear your head.

I also would like to point out that wanting Jesus to come back so that you can go to heaven is not a bad thing. I can't find the reference right now, so I don't want to say for certain, but I'm pretty sure Paul talked about wanting to be able to just go to heaven because he wanted to be with God rather than be on this troubled world.
