I'm not sure this is the correct forum, or if maybe OCD or General is better. But I can't say exactly what it is I'm anxious and obsessing about, because it's almost surely not acceptable on PsychCentral. At the same time, where does one talk about "taboo" subjects affecting their mental disorders? Religion is one such topic, although what I'm talking about isn't specifically religion...although it could easily be threaded into it, when you get into prophecies and all that.
I have a taboo subject that I obsess about, and it does tie in with religion in my mind, but I don't know how or where to talk about it. Every time I've tried to talk to a shrink, they want to focus only on my OCD, and many issues I've had in life with other people and taboo subjects have gone untouched. I've tried to talk to some people in my life, but because of their views, they don't always help. Sometimes they do, but sometimes they don't.
I am also avoiding mentioning specifically what the topic is, because I don't want to upset anyone else, or cause others to obsess. I'm positive there are others, whether here or elsewhere, who worry about this thing as I do. At the same time, I don't like to talk about it. It's frightening to talk about, yet hearing what I want to hear, and having it be true, helps.
The most I'll say right now is, this is something that was provoked by a discussion on Fox News Channel's Hannity & Colmes just a little while ago. I shouldn't have watched, but sometimes I hope to hear info that comforts me, instead of upsets me.
I've got enough stress going on with my anxiety and OCD issues over my disabilities and apartment issues (see the General forum, "Mentally Disabled Persons and Apartments"), and all this is just too much.
