• 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.

in my school two kids had a list on kids they want to kill, the school only suspended them and now their back in school, thats outrages! then one of the goofy teacher jokingly said that i'll protect us. thats where the ocd stepped in, i had to touch things around me to prevent it from happening, there was dust on the desk (i think it was dust) and i tried blowing it off and it wouldnt so i just swiped it with my hand. now i think if something happens itll be all my fault, i dont even know what one of the kids look like, i spoke to one of them but like last year, i say hi to him in the hallway rarely, i never see him. im now depressed and thinking if the school ever has a masscre even if i graduate itll be my fault, and tht ill go to hell. i had to touch a spot on the street to prevent anything from happening but if i did demons would come out from that spot so i didnt touch it. that was a lose/lose thought. im definately overthinking it, i told the teacher that said ill protect everyone about my illness and he said he didnt mean anything, he wish he wouldve known before etc.. i stayed in bed for about 15 hours really down and out im trying not have a panic attack, this whole 'problem' makes life suck​

I am really sorry for your suffering, Frank.

Can you go to see your doctor to ask for some help?

In the meantime, you are not responsible for what other people do. You are only responsible for what you do yourself. Whatever happens in the future in your school will not be your fault unless you are the one doing it, and you are not capable of hurting anyone, I think.

I hope you find someone to help you to understand this, and to help with the anxiety.

Lord, have mercy,
Christ, have mercy,
Lord, have mercy.
