Firstly I would like to say what a blessing this site is to me and I hope to make new friends here also. I just joined today. The symptoms I have are as follows: checking of different things to make sure everything is perfect and if I feel I have done it wrong I need to restart all over again. Worrying that I have done, said or thought something wrong and if I have done it wrong then something bad could happen. Doubt over whether I have done something at all. I can do it, be convinced in my mind that I have done it then a little while after the doubt about did I do it at all creeps into my mind. I think I seen my doctor a few years ago who told me that I had OCD but my mind is so confused I cannot even remember that. I also suffer from bad anxiety of which I am taking medication. Thankyou for reading this and God Bless you all.

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, and welcome. I have found that the OCD I've had has made me forget something right after I said it. This has happened a lot. I just want to point out one thing I noticed. If you ignore something that's bothering you, it will slowly stop bothering you over time. I know it's hard to ignore things sometimes, but I just wanted to give you that tidbit of information. God Bless You. I thank God for all good things.

Greetings, I just joined myself. I also have OCD but it has been much worse in the past. I still suffer from checking ocassionally, but it has been much worse before. I also suffer from nagging self doubts of what I'm capable, and especially at college when I'm doing school work I wonder if I'm doing things correctly -- even though a few points per assignment won't matter much. Nice to meet and I hope you are feeling better soon.

I once bought a book called The OCD Workbook by Cherry Pedrick, herself a sufferer of OCD, a nurse and a Christian. I found her website and read a little. Here is a verse she wrote and I hope you will draw comfort from it. Philippians 4:4-9 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again - rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Dont worry about anything: instead,pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience Gods peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts, and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honourable, and right, and pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me. - everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. I hope this brings some comfort to you. God Bless you all.
