• 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 hardly ever bothers me, over religious things. At one expence, I can't & don't worship God like I used too. & it really bothers me. I want to be back to the state I was before I was really bad OCD, when I craved to read my Bible, watch/listen to the gospel and such. I was just in a really bad car accident, God spared my life and I can't help but think it was for some reason. If he was done with me & I had no hope at all (from committing the unpardonable sin) then I feel like maybe I wouldn't have lived. I don't know if that's the truth or my OCD just looking for signs that I may have hope. Just thought I'd let you all know how I was. Please pray for me.

Hi Caty - thanks for the update. I'm so glad you are doing better. That is wonderful! It is so awesome that you were spared in the car accident. God did decide that you still have a reason to be on this earth....that is evident.

Please do not fear about your worship or bible reading. That will come with time. It took me a long time to be able to read the bible again, even after my bad thoughts went away. I now read the bible all the time and enjoy worship again. It's hard to be patient....but that is what God is asking of you. These things will straighten themselves out in His timing.

Take care.

glad you're okay . God doesnt create us just because, we each are special to Him and have a purpose . dont let thoughts tell you otherwise . the thoughts can rob one of their joy but we have to learn to press forward in the rain . i agree with seajoy , it will take time , and if you need His help remember He is always there . praying .
