• 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

Because you are sick:hug: there is no other reason. But God let it continue for a reason. You can persevere out of this, trust in God and keep fighting.

i felt ok for about 2 days then today it was like i wanted to think theese thoughts. why? can somebody please explain this to me.

I used to be on cycles, I would obsess/compulse/blaspheme for a few days on a certain subject. than I had rest than it would start on a whole new subject. It happened that way for about 3 years id say. God gave me some rest in between. Which I am thankful for.

Dont confuse yourself with thoughts "you wanted to think" to having a complete urge to say. Two different things and with your feelings being so off its hard to tell the difference. My mind didnt wanna stop thinking of blasphemies, doesnt mean in my heart I wanted them.. And God knows this. Alot of people are scared that God will punish them for it (im not sure if you think that too) but in truth they need to trust in Him.

why does my mind want to start thinking this stuff. and i hate myself for letting this happen to me.

At times our mind dwells on things we hate. in alot of cases OCD is revolved around things we love the most. In our case alot of christians get it alot about God. alot of us still fear Him and it conflicts with our illness.

Dont hate yourself, you didnt let this happen to you. You never did anything wrong:hug::hug:

What makes you even think you could cause this upon yourself? we cant control when or how we get sick. Dont be so hard on yourself.


i should be able to not allow this to happen. but it's like i want to think like this and then when i do i feel so bad and mad at myself. someone please explain

I used to get mad, I kept telling God that I should be able to control what goes in and out of my head. But we dont have control over it do we? not with what we have. You will gain some control. Hang in there.

Again dont confuse what you want in your head to what your head urges you to think. you cant control it. If you really wanted it, would you really be here? I dont think so :p It is the fact that you are here, tells me and God (He already knew) that you hate this stuff.

I used to have mental images of killing my family, some of those what thought of seemed to be urges. I felt the same way as you did. I really thought I wanted to hurt my family because I was having thoughts about it. This went on for at least a year...but that wasnt the case. I loved my family so much that in truth I didnt want to see them get hurt. My OCD twisted it around on me because In my heart I truely cared for them. Same thing with my blasphemies toward God. Do you understand what im saying?:)

If you believe you really think this is you or that you want it, I guarentee your anxiety is going to fly up and it will get worse, I know I let it get worse for me. It traumatized me.


Im sorry your going through this, I really am. Hang in there:hug::hug:

Never forget that God loves you reguardless of your thoughts, and He is just a whisper away ;)
