• 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.

it haunts that that if i see someone with a name starting with B i get a thught saying bebeuul or whatever hess called and my thoughts call the the holy spirit it and ihave ocd but its scary and also im terrified of getting a hard heart

I can relate to your concern as I have OCD Scrupulosity and I am constantly concerned that I blasphemed and that I have a hard heart. That part in Madea's Christmas scared me when it plays she uses that word and instantly my head goes to the Holy Spirit. OCD Scrupolisity is no joke.

Using what you know about dealing with OCD, what do you think is the best way to handle these thoughts?

In law a prosecutor has to prove that a murder meant to kill his victim. One cannot be an accidental murder.

An extreme example but it is apt. We are not accidental sinners.
Jesus knows all about your OCD and what it does to you and the anguish it causes you.

He is wise enough to be able to distinguish between your deliberate sins and the anguish caused by the activity of your OCD.

Thank God for Jesus and for his wisdom in his Justice. He Will Do that which is right and just for you.
