• 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

my ocd is making thoughts without my will like

ocd: do not think that word when you pray cause your prayer wont be heard. you need to control 100% your thoughts in order not to think specific words. you must pray only with these words. if you think the words like " not much time, must pray" then you need to fast pray in a very specific way. if you do the compulsion right and still feel like that you did not pray correctly, you must redo it. if you act very anxiously many times, that your compulsion maybe matters, maybe it makes it real.

I am getting anxious about it and redoing these compulsions about praying.

ocd: since you got worried so much maybe they became valid.

You know that it is your OCD giving you these thoughts. You know the OCD is nothing but compulsions and lies. You know Jesus. Trust him and put any thought that doesn't align with him in the trash. Praying for you often.
