• 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

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

Today, my ocd was telling me to do an ocd compulsion before eating dinner. the weird thing is, the ocd compulsion was what I really wanted to do before eating. which means ocd compulsion_= the same thing I want to do. there is another ocd lets called it ocd 2 which does not let me to what I want

ocd 1 tells me stuff like ocd1: do what you want to do before dinner because you may have made a promise to the Generic God

ocd:2: do not do what you want to do before dinner because you may have made a promise to the Generic God

I know all these are thoughts without my will but while being a little careless and happy random thoughts without my will are happen in my head like

ocd1: stop doing what you want to do.

and I do not want to stop it just because my ocd tells me but I worry if I do not stop. so that's where ocd 2 comes

ocd2: you better do not stop what you are doing for 2 reasons. first, it is what you really want and second, the ocd is more worrying if you do the compulsion that is "not to do what you want:"

all these thoughts without my will happen in seconds and I feel happy because the ocd compulsion is the same thing with what I want to do. but sometimes I may hchange opinion and stop doing what I want to do and ocd sasys

ocd: why you stopped? why youwere happy? why you obey one of the two compulsions? maybe that makes the promise you have made without your will to the Generic God valid. just because you felt happy. just because you may have used it as an excuse to do what you want. are you sure they were thoughts without your will?

please calm me down

In my opinion, it normal for ocd to make doubt on you. Ocd is like someone that want to tease you. They know how to makes you struggling. So just be relax and ignore the thought. I also have ocd too.
*sorry for my bad english
