Should I keep my vow?

[Catherineanne]

The problem is that some of these particulars vows regarding fasting, though initially induced by OCD, were willfully made at a later time. Today I broke it, though. It's getting out of hand. When people start asking if I'm sick because I'm underweight; when my mother is crying because of how horrible I look; when my dad starts to wonder if I should be institutionalized . . . then I realize it's time to do something. Part of me just wishes I could stop believing in Christianity. It would be so much easier that way.

I think you would be best going to see your doctor, Alphadux.

This one has got beyond the stage where you can deal with it, and you need help. It looks as if you are heading into an eating disorder, and this is very dangerous indeed. God certainly does NOT want this from you or anyone else. None of your vows about eating is binding; NONE of them. It doesn't matter when you made them, God wants you to eat the good things that he has provided for you.

Everyone needs to ask for help at some point in their lives; this is where you are now. For your mother's sake, for your dad's and most of all for yourself; go to see your doctor.

God be with you.

Yes! Go see a doctor ASAP God would not want you to punish yourself like that remember everything's been forgiven it sounds like you have severe OCD you just need some medicine and that will help calm it down a lot trust me when my OCD started I had trouble doing anything walking through door ways typing you name it I had trouble with it but after starting medicine it calmed down a lot.

Well if that's the message you were trying to communicate you did it wrong. You belittled his OCD by saying it isn't worse than a Cocaine addicfion which is completely irrelavent to him in the first place OCD can be just as horrible as a Cocaine addiction to someone with OCD.

 

[TheWorriedOne]

Well there was obviously a horrible miscoummunication if that's what you were trying to say Alphadux are you going to get help?

I'm probably going to be seeing a doctor this Friday.

Agree with the others....OCD is having a hey day with you! I totally u nderstand but this just illustrates the lengths to which OCD will try to take us . I also agree with the others who said you need some professional intervention NOW! Praying for you!

Well done, Alphadux; that is really good to hear. I hope you made it, and I hope it went well.

God be with you.
