This group is intended for Christians who suffer from OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and related mental conditions, and those concerned for them. We discuss how we deal with our disorders through the exercise of our faith, how the disorders impact our faith, and the struggles we have with our faith. This is not a forum for evangelizing, preaching, or other forms of religious promotion. We are here to share our experiences with mental disorders in the light of our faith, or our experiences in faith as impacted by those disorders. Meaningful scripture referrences and short prayers are appropriate means of encouraging each other. Common courtesies and mutual respect for our widely differing life experiences is expected. Since the subject matter discussed here is very sensitive, prospective members must be approved before joining. Please be prepared to tell the list-owners a little about your faith and your connection to OCD by answering the few questions on the questionnaire you will receive immediately after requesting to join our group. Your answers will be deleted as soon as we review them, for your privacy.
