• 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.

Hello all,
Please pray for me. I have had OCD very bad for about 3 years now. I am completely concerned about Germs. I got so bad.... well lets just say I felt God had dumped me at the bottom of hell...:sigh: I couldn't even function in everyday life. FINALLY after I hit rock bottom so hard, my family pleaded and finally I got help ..... after much and much pleading I started medication.... I had to wash my hands all the time, didn't like going out, out of fear of germs, didn't want anyone to touch me, had to use wet wipes if anything hit my clothes, ect.... Well I must say I am doing much better now.... still wash my hands alot and don't like people touching me, but I'm getting better:amen: and please continue to pray that god may heal me fully and I can live a normal life:prayer: , and have my own family ... ocd free!:) OCD is the worst feeling in the world and I am thankful that I am doing better, but still wonder why god has put something so terriable into my life,,, but working on it in Gods timing! Gods blessings to you all

I'll be praying for you! I have OCD too, and I worry about germs a lot... not as much as you, but that's probably because I've been on medication for a long time! Things will get better! I know it's hard, but it's for a reason. Maybe God will need you to help someone else with OCD later on down the road!! God bless!! ~Amanda~ :)

Dear one; GOD did not put this on you. This is part of your disposition or "bent" (or mental and physical constitution) of who you are. I know, because I have it too, but in some other forms. GOD does want you to be released from it and HE will work with you and use your sittuation for your good. However, you must do your part by getting to the bottom of WHY you do WHAT you do. In other words the psycological reasons behind them. We all have them, and the more you find out about them the better you are equipped to deal with them. Of coarse medications will help you to achieve that goal, but know that the psycological "issues" do not go away by meds alone, You need to talk with a psycologist about those issues(hopefully a christian one), as I think you are.So keep working on it and do not give up, even If It seems difficult, For GOD is with you and HE will never forsake you and HE will help you in your struggles. GOD bless and be with you.

Praise the Lord for his healing hand that is lovingly upon you. Take one step towards God at a time and keep up the good work. Thanks so much for sharing your progress. It is truly inspiring. God is good. Amen.

Hugs to you my sister in Christ,
Kim
