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!

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?

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 friends. I recently had a relapse with OCD and I haven’t felt that real intense pain/fear/panic since I was first diagnosed 3 years ago. It was awful. I’ve been on medication and going to therapy for some time, and I am happy to report I have grown a lot. Long story short, it’s just become a burden for me recently trying to understand why this had to happen to me (and all of you). When I first started following Jesus, it was such a spiritual high. I had so much peace and joy, and I think within that first year with Him I became obsessed with the Bible and learning as much as I could. I think it was a sweet time, but suddenly a switch flipped. I became concerned that all my head knowledge, though I took to heart, became all I cared about. Then all the intrusive thoughts started, and you know the rest. I was relieved when I got my diagnosis, to know that scrupulosity is even a thing. But today, I sit and realize my OCD has taken on other forms (existential/fear of going insane) and then of course I started asking God “why me?”. And then… of course.. I feel bad for asking that. And then it triggered that same old feeling that I’m not in right standing with God. It’s so meta I can’t take it. Does anyone wonder why this had to be? I know the typical answers “we live in a broken world” and “God will use this for His glory” but is anyone just able to sit in that frustration, and work it out? I want to keep fighting, try understanding, like there’s this itch in me that I need to “figure out” something. But I know God isn’t the voice that’s speaking that to me. But gosh, it’s so brutal and hard. I believe God is carrying me through this. 2 Corinthians 12 has been a blessing for this. I just feel so weak. I get upset this is happening, start doubting God, and then feel guilty. It’s a stupid cycle and I see it. I have a very intellectual mind, and I find that most people with this kind of OCD share this trait. But it’s like, the logic doesn’t help. I just want God to sit in my bedroom and tell me it’s real, my faith is intact, and to keep trusting. I don’t know why He won’t do that for me, and I feel guilty for even feeling that way. Anyways, I don’t know what I’m seeking here, but for anyone feeling this way, know you’re not alone. I deeply love you all, even though we are all strangers. 1 Peter 5:9… right?
