• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My ocd is making it to where when i sing along with music i feel like im messing up. Also, it may be making me feel like im sinning when i sing. It happens almost everytime i sing and it is keeping me from being able to enjoy listening to music, which is one of the most important things in my life.

Everyone would tell me that its just my ocd making me feel like im messing up and sinning when i sing and that i need to just overcome my ocd and sing and not believe my ocd. But the hard thing for me is being able to do this. Can anyone offer me any help on this?

This is very important to me. Please help me if you can. Thanks.

well some will try to use logic deal with something like this but ocd is not logical and logic rarely helps it .

i think this s a grad opportunity for you to do a little exposure therapy on your own ..

my advice is to do it anyway ..dont push yourself pace yourself if you need to but little by little you can do this until it just dooesnt bother you as much .
