I struggle with OCD, anxiety, and depression...part of the reason my husband left me I think...does anyone have any suggestions? I have been dealing with it for like 7 years now and I am medicated, have gone through counseling, etc. Some days are really hard and I just wondered if besides praying through it...does anyone have any other ideas?


Hi Gabby777 - welcome to the boards and to this thread!

When you were in therapy, what did the therapist suggests? Is it time to go back for more therapy?

Gabby777, I googled theophostic counseling because I had never heard of it before. How long have you been doing it and how is it working for you?

I hope you have a licensed therapist too. I don't think I'd be doing it without a licensed therapist or at least someone who had significant training in that area.

I have been feeling stressed the past couple of days. Without a job and money issues, I am starting to feel the pinch. My shoulders have been stiff and unless I take my medicine, I do not feel all that good either.

Hi Gabby, I was just thinking about you last night and wondering how you're doing. (I was wondering about a few others here too, but I can chat with them on facebook.)

I am trying to hang in there...thank you...how are you?

I am a little concerned because my daughter is showing signs of OCD and I am praying against that...she is in counseling and I expressed my concern to the therapist and she gave her a journal hopefully that will help.

Ok you are off the hook for now. Once you start working and on a more regular daily schedule the "on time" stuff may be easier.

Whew, ok Good!

Hi Gabby, I hope that you feel better!

Hi Pink, how are you doing?

I am feeling a little anxious right now, not sure why. I hope that this passes real soon!

So ya don't want to be TOS'ed out, eh?

It's a badge of honor and source of great pride for many of us to brag about the many forums and websites we've been TOS'd out of and been told by court order to stay away from (those stupid judges--how DARE they tell me what to do? ), because it fulfills Bible prophecy in that we'd be persecuted for our faith, and we are as great and worthy as the big-mouthed apostle Peter, who ALWAYS spoke his mind without apology and considered himself worthy of being persecuted for his faith (Acts 6:41)! Yeah! HULK SMASH! ARRRRGH!

Of course, I just deliberately took Acts 6:41 grossly out of context, and loudmouthed Peter denied Jesus three times after vowing he'd do so over his dead body.

I hope in all seriousness you're doing okay, and that this silly post may make you laugh a little.

Still having a bad day, but that did cheer me up some! I got TOS'd off of one Christian site for telling an atheist that there was a God and if he didn't start following Him, then he'd wind up in hell. It was my third warning. I got told in each warning that we are to be spreading joy and love and to either love atheists on the site or ignore them. That site used to boast about how welcome the atheists feel there. lol!

The thing is to do it in love...but if we don't tell them there is a better place than the one they are headed to, who will?

Hi, everyone! How are you doing?

Roberta, I just saw your post about getting TOS'd out of that other forum. I decided to start a thread about that topic, since it seemed like a good thing to discuss.

I've been absent from here a lot, busy with unpacking and stuff. My relative was injured and is recovering, but now we have help with unpacking, so that my relative can get around the house better. It's been tough dealing with bossy relatives who are telling me this and wanting me to go from one room to another to do this and that. It's getting to the point where I'd like to use a few TOS terms to suggest a few things to them.

But otherwise, I'm doing okay.

In all fairness, the atheist asked me where I thought he was going. It's not like I went into a chat room and randomly started touting off that all athesists are going to hell. KWIM?

Oh, I see.

I'm doing better tonight, but I do need to be careful about things around the house. I discovered today that the oven was on, but I haven't cooked anything in it yet, so I don't know how it came on, except that maybe I bumped into the knob or it caught on my clothing. I also don't know how long it was on, so I'm not looking forward to the next gas bill. I spent some time praising God and reading my Bible, thanking Him for protecting me from what could have been a catastrophe!
