@Katarzyna, thanks for sharing your hardships- i’ve felt similar things in the past. i want to encourage you to either look to or remember the finished work of Christ, in His death and resurrection, and what He did and what that means for us as Christians. As a Christian, it says in Scripture that if we confess of our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us of all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) because of what Christ did for us on the cross. And in relation to ocd, it’s not that the intrusive thoughts or images will go away or that we won’t suffer or sin, but rather, we can look to the Savior Who loves us in spite of our weaknesses and sinfulness, and Who secures our eternal destiny, and Who is willing to help us in time of need. And, we can use the resources provided here on nocd to help manage our symptoms or complusions of ocd. I encourage you to hang on to Christ and His promises in the Bible, and to press on, even when it’s difficult! I think also reading Genesis chapters 1-3 would help too, seeing how it points to Christ and to the proclamation of the gospel after the fall, and then reading John chapter 1, seeing how it reveals Christ and Him fulfilling the promises/predictions of the coming Messiah in the OT. Hope this helps.

@Justaguy23 I think I can understand is it hard and does it happen after you get anxiety or before

I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. Feel like I am constantly repenting. Don't know how to not dwell on the thoughts.

Like ill like repent and then an old memory that I forgot to confess will pop up and then I end up confessing again. And its like non stop. But essentially the same subject. If that makes sense.

Oh my I’m sorry for the stress. If you confess once you don’t have to again. Do you think it’s guilt brining the memory

@oliverbatin Ikno I’ve been there . A confessed sin is immediately forgiven ukno. I’ve messed a lot n I understand when you don’t feel forgiven. God is forgiving and keeps His word. Trust me sometimes you think but after once sincere confession He forgives

Listening to my confessor even though I doubt
I have terrible ocd. Lots of different subtypes but the one that bothers me most is religious ocd. The advice I've been given is to go to only one priest for confession (I'm Catholic) and to listen to his advice. I've been doing that lately and I'm actually taking his advice (like, for example, that if I committed a mortal sin, I'd know for sure.. When there's doubt about whether or not I've done smth wrong, it's likely not mortal and I can recieve communion). I've read that this is good advice for scrupulous ppl. So I'm finally taking his advice but it's so scary! My biggest fear is receiving the Eucharist in a state of mortal sin.. But I need to trust what the priest is telling me. Any other Catholics in this situation? I'm proud of myself for actually taking his advice but it's terrifying at the same time..What if I'm fooling myself and can't admit to myself that I actually did commit a mortal sin, but he sees it as doubt..like, I don't know if I'm doubting I've sinned or if I'm in denial about sinning.. If anyone knows what I mean..I also realize that full will needs to be involved in mortal sin and the presence of doubt is often a sign that even if I did sin, it wasn't fully willful so that's why it's not mortal.. But I'm still unsure and afraid. But that's probably cuz I have ocd and anxiety. Lol.. I'm just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation.. And if it gets easier to listen to your confessor's advice even though it's scary and not what your OCD wants.

Religious OCD
Can anyone share their experiences with Religious OCD and how you came to realize it was OCD thoughts and not a true spiritual experience. Thank you

Scrupulosity
Been having blasphemous intrusive thoughts about God. Then sometimes I’m really struggling and I feel resentful, sometimes even towards God, which I know is not right, I want to have reverence. But it feels like sometimes I think the blasphemous thoughts on purpose because of my anger. I don’t know if this is an OCD issue or an issue of my heart or both. But yeah I don’t know what to do.
