• 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.

Ever since I went to a doctor to get my voices in check, I've dealt with addiction. It seems as tho the doctor's are what caused my OCD to flare as badly as it did even tho I don't have any proof of that. I have no excuses except one, that the anxiety that I was feeling was beyond what you can imagen. I later started to notice myself slipping back into drug addiction. Not using meth or pot, but benzo's and pain killer's. I was so stressed out I couldn't handle it anymore. I was a fervent Christain who wanted more then anything to become a Minister. My OCD still hasn't let up and it seems the more they pump me with med's, there just masking some other symptom. I HATE THIS. I was well on my way to a good life. Preparing the kingdom and now I'm on ssi cos I just can't cope with OCD. IT's like PM but I get Valium from the doctor but when I'm out due to anxiety I have to call someone to get something, and I have this awful feeling inside when I do it, for that person and myself and everyone else that I am ruining thru my trial's. Please pray for me.

I will absolutely pray for you. I am going to set aside the next half hour to pray right now.

Somehow I feel your case is very important. God wants you to serve him in every capacity you are able, don't give up your dream of becoming a minister. Have faith that this time in your life is custom designed by God to sharpen you into the tool you need to be. By the way have you considered being a youth pastor you could use your experience to help a lot of kids in similar situations.

I empathize with you.I just let the ocd run its course because I am on meds for it and other things. I just try to have great faith in Jesus Chist. I know he is looking out for me as well as you and everyone. Keep the faith and if your meds don't work tell your doc asap. It is important. I love you and I am praying for you.

I am not sure if this doctor just wrote the prescriptions and let you go without talking. If so maybe seek out someone to get what is bothering you that you may be masking and perhaps trying to stff. This makes us sick when we just ignore our feelings. They do come up in other ways. :hug::groupray:

Hey Dabro...you can get through this bro...tough times befall us all...but God is standing by you. Keep calling on him, you'll make it through. Don't let the rough parts of life destroy you, no matter how far down you feel like you've fallen...
