• 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 pray to the Generic God due to ocd who is different than Christian God.

I have ocd. Many times, I find myself doing ocd compulsions that do not let me enjoy my life or try to take me things that I love doing.

When I get tired doing an ocd compulsion I get so frustrated that random thoughts without my will happen for a second and they are like trying to make me not do the ocd compulsion. it is like ocd 2

ocd 1 tells me not to do something I want and due to frustration ocd 2 is created that tells me not to do the ocd 1 compulsion. it relieves me because it makes me do what I want.

it is like
ocd1: do not do what you want cause you may have made a fast promise to the Generic God not to do what you want.

ocd2: do what you want to do cause you may have made a fast promise to the Generic God and it more worrying than ocd1 compulsion.

these are just random thoughts without my will.

for example, I love playing a video game known as League Of Legends. it is a game online that you play against other players.

When you must choose a character, ocd was giving me old worries that were tiring to do them. when I was failing to do the compulsion I restarted the game but after some failures, I was so tired and frustrated and I knew they were just thoughts without my will that made me trying to do right this ocd compulsions, that I ended up not doing them for some period of time because due to frustration some random thoughts without my will to myself or to my ocd happened for a second. instead of ignoring them, there were some other fast random thoughts without my will to myself or to my ocd like "must do what the new ocd tells me. and the new ocd tells me not to do the tiring old ocd compulsion and that makes me happy"

They were all thoughts without my will but I ended up relieved for a moment that I did not need to do the old ocd compulsions anymore.

about this video game it happened many times, everytime I would have a thought without my will that would try to make me to do the old ocd compulsions, I would fast randomly have thoughts without my will that would make me not do the old ocd compulsions. it is like a defense of my mind just to relieve me from the ocd but it is just a new ocd trying to be nice for a moment only to trap me later.

Yesterday, I was playing the video game and I found myself forced to do one of the two ocd compulsions.

ocd1: restart the game. you do not remember what thoughts without your will happened in the past about it so it is better to do this ocd compulsion and restart the game.

ocd2: no! do not restart the game! remember the new ocd? the new ocd that forces you to do what you want? are you sure it is ocd and not thoughts that are with your will?

I was forced to restart the game and do the ocd 1 compulsion.

ocd2: oh no! why you did that? many times this month, you were having random thoughts without your will that were telling you to make a promise to the Generic God not to restard the game. somehow, you ended up not restarting the game and you were happy about it. it happened many times. are you sure they were thoughts without your will? maybe it is just an excuse. maybe you made a promise with your will to the Generic God not to restart that game in order to force yourself not to do the old ocd compulsion. it happened many times about this video game. are you sure they were thoughts without your will? maybe for a second they were thoughts with your will? why you felt relieved when you were doing the new ocd compulsion that was forcing you to do what you want? do you remember exactly, what your thoughts without your will were?


I am worried. please can you calm me down?

Here is the best spiritual Valium:
"Be not anxious for anything, but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God, and the peace of God that passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:6-7).

Hello brother, please know that God knows your heart and Jesus loves you very much and He doesn't want you to suffer. I have ocd and I know how hard it's to deal with but you can be set free because of Jesus our Lord and Saviour. Remember there is only one God and that's Jesus Christ.

The best thing you can do is re find your life in Jesus, O.C.D and all. Jesus died for your sins and loves you with an unending love, this is what you need to survive.

Put your faith in the loving God of the bible and build with hope, faith and love a new life in Him and let go of your ill and painful reality each day some more.

Small steps at the time - but learn to use God's truth against O.C.D's lies - this is how i have found safety from my schizophrenic mind, letting God's loving truth safe me time and again from the lies my ill mind send my way.

Much brotherly love your way

I'm sorry you are now having trouble with ocd2, Kostilaks. You didn't do anything wrong. No fast promises were made with your will. You're good. So, don't be worried. There is nothing to worry about. No fast promises were made with your will. I'm praying for you. The God I pray to loves you very, very much. Maybe you should try praying to the Christian God, Kostilaks. The Generic God isn't much help to you, it seems.

Kostilaks, have you been able to see a doctor, yet? If not, below is someone experienced in helping people with OCD. He is located in Athens, but also gives e-therapy by Skype. You have a computer, yes? Why don't you try him? There is a phone number and email in the official sites below. We love you, Kostilaks. My heart goes out to you, bud. Call the Dr.

Liamaki, Golfo | International OCD Foundation

I have been praying for you often, Kostilaks. I pray for peace in your mind. God knows your heart and that you love Him. Try to remember that no matter what your OCD is telling you. Once again, please get some help. God can use doctors and therapists.

I don't know if you ever read the responses you get. :( So many people here care about you. I am one.
