My ocd suggests me to make promises without my will to God and use them as an excuse to my ocd for not doing the ocd compulsion, in order to relieve myself from the worries of not doing the ocd compulsion. Most of the times, when the suggestion happens, it is accompanied of words and thoughts without my will about fake promise to God. I paus my thoughts and inform God that they are thoughts without my will and i do not make promises. Some other times, when I am carefree and want to avoid doing ocd compulsions and feel worried for not doing them, ocd again suggests me to make fake promuses to God and use them as an excuse as i mentioned above, but instead of fast praying to God and tell Him they are thoughts without my will, the thoughts without my will just happen and i have some other thoughts probably without my will like "oh. thanks to the thoughts without my will, i better not do the compulsion. i am so relieved. yay." i feel relieved. and some seconds later, i have thoughts like "oh no! did maybe an accidental promise just happened? i csnt remember!" everything happens so fast. like 1-2 seconds. so. 1) what if the thoughts without my will maybe became valid just because I felt relieved because of them I did not have to do the compulsion. 2) how can i be sure that they were thoughts without my will? what if for a second i was careless and maybe I allowed them to happen?

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.
