• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hi The person who said this I misunderstood them they’re probably reading this so it’s not your fault it’s my broken brain I misunderstood you


So i thought some body said can’t at all trust Jesus if you have doubts so i was cry for 4 hrs but now i have no doubts no feeling at all
Mainly so is this a ocd or something Else

the reason i was crying bc i have really trying to trust Jesus and For mainly it was going good but now i feel numb i can’t think

but if i do get a doubt i feel i can’t do anything back this always pops up if your wasn’t trusting and what do you think thats going to do

I like a what if sometimes I’ll say this is example


What if

idk
Your dog hates you

me what if he Does not normally would stop that wolud help me a lot


But now its

What if your phone
Broke

Tries to use the same technique before

but thought If you wasn’t trusting last time What do you think this method is going to work

but I’m still doing like playing the Bible reading the Bible and stuff like that but I feel nothing so it sucks

Every technique I used to use it always gets contradicted now

so is it a ocd Thing the times I was barely starting to feel faith again now I just feel nothing



but will things go back to normal

bc I really like my techniques I would use them a lot it’s hard to use them at all

I am not diagnose just have some symptoms so not 1000% sure

but i have not given up

What to do ? Go get diagnosed. Get on the proper medication if you have OCD. Get stabilized and then we can talk and make a lot of headway with your walk with Jesus Christ. Until then if you have OCD your head will just spin like it is now. And I'm not saying you have it but if you do then you need to know that and take action.

If money or medical insurance is an issue most states / civil governments have some kinds of aid programs. I think you and I spoke about this before ( not sure because I've interacted with quite a few OCD folks).

I can’t im in cps foster care

My foster parents don’t believe in mental illness
You're being denied essential rights to health care. The administrators at cps I bet would not be very thrilled at this to say the least. If you are under aged I can't advise you but that much info is just fact. Your profile says you are 44yo ?

This sounds like OCD to me. If your techniques work, I would use them. As I've mentioned before, when we have OCD, our feelings sometimes play tricks on us and are not always reliable. You don't have to "feel" trust in order to trust. Trust is a choice, and you can always make that choice no matter what you feel. I'm praying for you!!
