• 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 find that at times when i go to push through what my ocd is doing to me i get it in my mind that im doing the wrong thing. I get it in my mind that the very act of pushing through things is wrong in itself. This can get me stuck where i cant push through what my ocd brings into my mind.

I also really have a major struggle with feeling like im sinning by doing things with a wrong reason or motive. I get it this with a number of things. I can get thoughts that im reading things with a wrong reason or motive. I can get thoughts that im drinking soda with a wrong reason or motive. These are just a few things that i can get the thoughts on that im doing these thing with a wrong reason or motive. Then i feel like i have to stop what im doing and get things straight in my mind before i can keep doing what im doing because if i keep doing what im doing without stopping and getting things straight i will feel like im sinning. This makes me have to stop things over and over, like i have done while typing this post, to get things straight. I need help with these struggles.

none of us have perfect motives and all of us sin in some way or another every day.
That is why we need a Saviour.
We cannot live without sin.
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
See if we mess up it is okay.
Jesus knows we mess up and He promises to forgive us and cleanse us.
We can relax.
We can cast all our cares on Jesus in prayer because Jesus cares for us.
We are safe in Jesus hand.
We can read the bible to renew our minds and grow stronger day by day.
Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.He promises us this.
Jesus does want us to grow stronger in Him but fear binds us up while safety and love builds us up stronger and stronger so we love and please Jesus with freedom and security and deep love.
Jesus bless you
You can relax
