I have a disease, OCD, and I haven't been able to get it under control. I am on my third medication that my dr prescribed me to see if it works. Before I was doing very bad, but decided to make a difference in my life and I was doing great for a good good while. Of course I had ups and down but I remained consistent in the word of God, reading and learning every day. Lately I have been feeling so worthless, I don't want to pray, I don't see the point, and the OCD is worse and worse.
I feel like I am no good, I just want and I don't want to die, I do and I don't. I want to close my eyes and see the goodness of God and not see the horrible images that the OCD puts in my heard. I pray and ask God to help me and I know he is listening to me and believe me isn't like I just started praying. I have been praying and I just want to be able to be normal. I am not demanding God, I know He will do what He needs to do when is time. But I just keep falling deeper and deeper.

Militant Atheist--I will be praying that you never develop a mental disease, although it looks like you already have one...because of your facial expression. Ok so I will be praying for you.

You are not alone in your situation... I will not detail it but I too have much the same situation... and there are others... you need ot continue with the medicaly approved methods... and... You need to fight the enemy attacking you with the Spiritual as well... you do not mention if you have a Church home to give support... I know even in the Church it is difficult to get understanding... but seek it out... you need face-to-face connections with Those of The Faith to support you... and if you can get someone who will be able to go one-on-one with you in time of need it would be even better...
Do not think that you must follow some prescribe method of prayer... sit, kneel, recite, in certain ways... Talk to God as you need to talk to God... if you need ot get angery with him ...get angry with Him... He is not the cause of your trouble...I think you already know this... but He is strong enough to withstand your anger and you need ot let it out... I know you have asked. "Why me Lord".."Why are you alowning this to happen to me"... I will tell you that he may not answer that. right now... but... as far as I have been down...and am right now actualy... I know...for certain... sure... that God will not allow me to suffer beound what I can endure... and He will not allow you to go beound your limit either... Get involved in church activities, as best you can... go to meetings for study of God's Word... move your life out of what it has been and into as more positive situation as you can make it... that is why I suggest the Chruch home activities... get away from the world you have known and get involved with God and His people as much as you can... you will take in strength from Both God and His people...just by being around them...
Here is a link to a short page I have on prayer on my website... if you like you are invited to look over the site as well...just click the home page and follow it through... or go to the index and browse.

the doctors can't describe my problem, your kinda lucky. one doctor says I'm sycophantic, other bipolar. I'm fighting with the bipolar doc now. He keeps saying I'm going to have my low point soon, within the next three months, that was 2 yrs ago. I put my faith in God without seeking help in this world, Just his strength alone. I pray most of the day, for healing and direction. I threw out all that I thought was evil so I can be holy unto him. I tick everyone off that I just seek God, but in his time I will be healed. The way I look at it was when I was with medication, I was drooling, Getting very fat. I couldn't even think. I even try ed to kill myself. I threw away all the medication and all the worldly stuff, put my eyes on him and said, this is your problem now. I haven't been as depressed(to kill myself). I'm still sick, but the doctors look like fools. Saying God can't help u this will. I'm being helped better now then whe I was on medication. My consitration is 2 times better then when I was healthy, and much better then when I was on medication, and I hear 1000 voices a day. Now this is for me this way, look into your heart, ask God in prayer, can I lean on your strength and put this problem on U. Wait for the answer, weather God says keep taking medication, or get off and use faith. I hope this helps. This path helped me, It also made me very close to God. Seek his face??

The medicine may help the symptoms. You need to get to the root cause that's triggering the emotions. Little by little, make small steps of progress. OCD is related to anxiety, which is unresolved conflict. It could be biological in nature too.
When you're at the end of your rope, remember who is holding the rope. Don't give up, just give up struggling. Let His life unfold in you as you recognize the things in you that are not from Him.
You have made the first step: You have recognized the wrong part of you. Learn patience and let the right life grow in you as you respond to it with courage and follow through. You have a long journey, but many, many people carry burdens that actually help them grow and discovery more of their faith. Remember, little steps at a time.

Remember, God has a plan for everyone. But He can only show us the door, it is up to us to walk through it. He can not help you unless you want to help yourself. Keep praying, regardless if it seems useless or worthless to you. Ask for Him to open up your heart and soul. Nothing can overcome the awesome power of God. He can help you with every disease you face.

You have two mental diseases.
The other one is called "Christ-psychosis."
Seek help.
