i just posted one about smoking with my boyfriend pls help me
Hey there, I don’t see it possibly due to filters. That said how can I pray for you?
HOCD/POCD/Real event OCD based on the previous two...
You’re not alone tonight. I know this makes you feel hopeless but I’m praying for God to show you His great love and that you are not alone. Take care.
well i am super anxious bc i like smoking with my boyfriend but we do it every time we hang out and now i’m scared that’s the only reason i wanna see him bc when i think about hanging out w him i think of smoking and i’m excited for both but idk i’m just over thinking bc i love spending time with him during the day
Focus first and foremost on healthy relationships. When we with OCD start mixing in other things like that it can mess with us in a bad way. You don’t need it to be a great person. Just be who you are. Praying God will guide you in your relationship!
This has almost destroyed my faith. It’s just terrible 😞😞 used to be a youth pastor, now I’m barely hanging on by a thread
God is bigger than OCD. Remember who the Author of your faith is! Brother, Jesus Christ can hold us fast when we can’t. I am here. You are not alone! Love you! Paul
I have a “real event” that I cannot forgive myself for. No actions that I committed or anything - just thoughts/feelings that were inappropriate (or at least I feel they were my thoughts/feelings….my counselor says they were intrusive….I don’t even know how to tell the difference anymore.) My relationship with Jesus is the most important thing to me. & even though right now I’m not struggling with trusting His forgiveness, I’m just struggling with feeling like an awful person with some big “secret” because of those thoughts/feelings (because I feel they were mine.) I’ve confessed (compulsion) to several ppl now and I don’t feel better. They all reassure me and it doesn’t help. I don’t know how to forgive myself is what it boils down to I guess. I feel like I need to just walk around with a sign on my chest saying “I had these thoughts/feelings…throw the tomatoes.” 😞 sad thing is I’m serious. I appreciate your prayers. I need to keep my eyes on the crosss.
Sweet child of God, He has washed and cleansed you of all things. The enemy plants many thoughts in our head to trick us. God will even redeem those. He has you. Keep your beautiful eyes on Him! Praying for you! Philippians 1:6!
I am having so many intrusive thoughts about Lord krishna( I am of hindu religion), I really dont have any bad intentions, but I don't know why this happens 😭, I try to surrender myself to him, when I try to meditate on him, intrusive thoughts come and destroy my will power and peace, what can i do? I am losing hope, I feel like I am a really bad person, I feel so ashamed of myself, what shall I do?
Hey Avantika. I’m not a Hindu but I will gladly pray to my God for you! Sorry I didn’t see your post earlier.
@YoCD Thank you so much for having seen this message even if it is after a few days
As some of you guys probably know, if I’ve been leaving annoyingly chirpy comments on your posts (?) I’m a huge believer in ERP. It works consistently with my OCD when nothing else has, its pulled me out of some dark places, etc etc. But I also see a lot of posts asking a heap of different questions about it. I totally get your frustrations and confusion. It was easier for me, in a way, because I was so hopeless when I discovered it I went, “if this doesn’t work, I’m just gonna give up an end it.” It was my last resort so I guess that helped in a way, but it did work. It really did. So where I’m going with this is, If anyone has any questions about ERP, dump them here in the comments and I’ll answer them as soon as I can. All questions, any questions, throw them at me. I want to help, I know what you’re going through and as an obsessively good researcher (even before my OCD kicked in) I have a tonne of different explanations on how it works, why it works, how it feels, and so on and so on and so on. Honestly, I just wanna be useful. I wanna help. Being able to help people through this stuff makes my OCD a teensy bit worthwhile. Give me your best shot :)
