I was recently diagnosed with OCD and decided I will give up one thing. Just typing this feels so hard like “you know you can do better” but I know God knows I am trying to heal.

That’s awesome! I was diagnosed a few years ago- and that’s exactly what I remind myself! God wants us to be happy and healthy, He does not desire us to suffer, and as OCD can interfere with your ability to fully developed your faith life, then I imagine He is joyous in helping us fight it! Even when it seems contrary- it’s necessary to ultimately progress in our faith. The more time that passes, the more I believe that and see God working in my life to help me get through this!

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

So I am a practicing Catholic, and I've gotten into reading the Bible this year, praying the Rosary, things like that, and while I love to do that, my OCD has been seeming to take over, in ways such as like I have to read the Bible for a certain amount of time before I'm satisfied with the time read, or something along those lines, and it's starting to make the thought of praying and reading the Bible unenjoyable, which is really hurting me inside, because I used to and want to enjoy it so bad, but now this is making it really hard to, because it feels like I don't have control over my own thoughts, and little things trigger the thoughts, it's just so annoying. If there's anything anyone thinks I can do to combat this please let me know.

I’m a Christian and I’m in my first relationship, often feeling guilty/uncomfortable with various things in relation to sexual purity. I’m struggling to know when things are OCD or genuine conviction. Any advice on how to know?
