Hi Bex, sorry to hear that you had a scary night, but glad to hear you were able to recognize and catch your OCD before it got ahold of you. I definitely relate to your comment about how as terrible as it is, that OCD has at least made you appreciate things more and love more deeply. That’s great to hear that you have found something positive among all the negative impacts on our lives that OCD, or any mental illness, causes. Hold onto that positive outlook as a reminder of why we sought out help for OCD in the first place to be able to appreciate people and things more and love more freely and deeply without reserve and live our lives in general without all of the doubts, anxiety, low self-esteem, hesitation, compulsions, etc…that hold us back and take up our minds and our lives. Glad to hear that your relationship in God is helping you manage your OCD and giving you strength and positivity, something that OCD certainly does not make it easy to have. And yes, no one is ever alone in their struggle with OCD, especially if they’re here. It’s always great to see a thread where people are trying to help and support each other in their OCD recovery or with just the stressors of life in general. The struggle against OCD is never easy, even more-so in tandem with other mental or physical illnesses, but OCD can be managed to where those intrusive thoughts mostly stay in the background and you can live your life as you always wanted to or used to before OCD. It takes time, effort and strength to overcome the bully, but this journey does not have to be taken solo. ERP and therapy may be the tools of choice, but support from each other is also a very powerful tool in your arsenal. Take care, stay strong and best wishes to you all. You can and will defeat the OCD bully, do not let OCD take away your hope or belief in yourself.

I hope everything is going well for you. Could you pray for my Real Event, Flase memory and POCD. These are the ones I struggle with the most and I hate them. They’ve made my life truly unlivable

@Anonymous Yes it does so well. God is so amazing I love how I have met so many amazing christians like yourself through OCD. I love how God uses your worst situations for good. That we can encourage each other in God's love. And i genuinely believe that as much as OCD sucks it has taught me to rely on God. It has taught me to love more deeply and to apprentice things better.

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

Hi I have a question. I love jesus he changed my life and Made me a better person but my ocd loves to confuse me so I have a problem where I remember something in the past and I repented ofc but not it makes me question my intentions and my ocd always puts the are you lying to God card which makes me super scared and then doubt occurs and I'm so exhausted I misinterpret a lot like the voice of God I keep hearing tell the truth and repent now that's it all Good if it were true see ik I'm telling the truth not because of some feeling it's because ocd's version is so ridiculous but It feels soo real I just Want go to God without feeling this fear if I'm lying to him and I fear if somehow I'm wrong. So much anxiety and questions like what if that is gods voice what if I'm wrong pls pray for me and I see videos and I'm scared if that video was sent to me by God telling me to "tell the truth" I say that because my ocd is causing me to doubt the truth being that ocd is wrong

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
