• 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.

Im a 15 year old guy to put this in perspective. So a while ago i messed up pretty bad. I always have voices telling me that i have to do something and my mind always tells me i have to do this or that or something bad will happen. Anyways i was in a wrestling match and long story short i was losing and then I caught the guy in a headlock. Upon doing so my mind said that "i sold my soul". I didnt mean it AT ALL but i am worried maybe i meant it for that split second. I ended up pinning him which made me worry the only reason i won was because of what my mind told me. It scared me like crazy at the time but it faded back a bit but i never really completely forgot about it. But just recently my mind played tricks on me really bad and i felt like my mind told me that i sold it again. It happens a lot where my mind goes off but this was really bugging me. This was about a week ago and now at this point im praying ant talking to God but i feel scared and completely awful. Im afraid I really meant it. I can't focus on anything and nothing really appeals to me and I always kinda feel sick now. I really need some help. Im terified i messed up and that God won't forgive me. Im also extremely paranoid and i dont like telling people this stuff face to face. Any help is appreciated very much as I really feel stuck and hopeless. Thanks

I would say that the fact that you're afraid you meant it, means you didn't mean it. If you had meant it, you wouldn't be afraid of it. OCD will always, always, ALWAYS make you doubt, though. That's the nature of the disease, unfortunately. I'll pray for you right now. There's a verse in the Bible where God says 'all souls are Mine'. Our souls aren't ours to sell! That's just Hollywood ;)

This.

I too have suffered with these type of weird thoughts that are intrusive and scary, thoughts like oh you're not a believer, you're a sinner, you're going to hell, you're gonna die , Yada Yada. I just have to trust God, same with you... Trust God , He knows you can't help it.
