• 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.

I was in a cafeteria and there is a chance due to ocd, I may have remembered that there was a compulsion that I should not be in that cafeteria. Due to anxiety, I may have told a God a thought without my will about not going to that cafeteria again. it may have looked like as if i was requesting a second chance because i was anxious that I may have broke a compulsion related to a God. It was a thought without my will because I realised that due to anxiety I was forced to tell that to God. I was avoiding that cafeteria for a long time, I only was passing by keeping distance. Today, i was lost in my thoughts and passed from that cafeteria and I was very near the entrance. what if my coat touched it? I freaked. Does this count as if visited that cafeteria or not? is there any promise in this case? why I always end up worried and confuse while I try not even think the word promise?

God does not see your OCD compulsions as sin. He see them for what they are a form of mental illness.

If you are worried by what your OCD causes you to say or do.
Just simple say" Sorry God the OCD is doing it, please forgive me if I offend."
If thoughts remind you of that incident just Thai God for his forgiveness of All your sins.

[QUOTE="Kostilaks,

When you are feeling that way pray to God to give you strength. Have you gone to any support groups for OCD. Maybe they have mentors that could be a benefit to you.
A support group for OCD is a good idea. "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders" is a good one on Facebook that I am a part of. Feel free to join if you'd like!

[QUOTE="Mari11,

Thanks Mari for the invitation! That was sweet of you.
I'm not on Facebook and don't have a need for such group so far, but was just wanting to help those that do. God bless your journey.
