Religious OCD
I am suffering from religious OCD for the past 32 years. When I am practising disregarding my OCD fires back with strong thoughts of until when u r going to disregard. When I say to myself God is with me it fires back with thoughts of what God has done until now. You will never recover. May I ask you what is this. Azhar from India
I have really bad religious ocd, centered around God, and how I have to keep doing things otherwise I'm sinning and when I try to do the opposite of my my anxiety is feeling it's even worse. Feels like no escape
I'm feeling the same have hope
Awe that sounds very painful. It is hard when it attacks what you value most which is sounds like your faith is very important to you. Have you been completely ERP?
I am from India. At my city no proper ERP treatment is available.
Hi I am from India as well and suffer from very bad religious and moral ocd and yes there is no good erp therapist who provides affordable therapy , they are either not good or they r good but costly, I am seeing a therapist right now but my therapy is inconsistent and I don't feel its excatly therapy, I do take meds which has helped me, alongside atleast seeing a therapist for ocd practicing cbt erp would help even if its not excat erp, also u can try to do some erp and cbt on your own ,just download erp and ocd sheets and pdfs from online free websites and practice it on our own, for religious ocd labeling the beliefs and thoughts as just ocd and anxiety will help but u have to label the thoughts everytime they come and then move on
I remind my self that life is a test. A trial to see if we’re good people and patient. It’s not meant to be sunshine and rainbows, that all comes after. Right now, we’re being tested for our patience. To see if you’re going to give up on God or not. He understands and you WILL recover. After hardship comes ease always. And you’ll see the reward of your endurance and the reward of your pain in the next life.
Maryam0421 Are you also going with the same OCD problem.
Pretty much yeah. Just bad thoughts about my faith
Suffering from religious ocd
Hi everyone. I’ve been having religious OCD for the past 4 months now. I’ve always been a Christian but it wasn’t until this year I truly gave myself to the Lord. I was so on fire. Getting amazing signs and healing from Him. He really changed my heart and desires! I love them! But the last couple months this OCD hit hard with obsession over scary thoughts & feelings. I started having thoughts about God existence & Jesus. It hurt so much and I’m really trying everyday to move forward but recently I feel like I have a rejection mindset. Like beating myself up over these thoughts and feeling like Gods left me sometimes or I’m not worthy of His love or me having these thoughts of doubts & unbelief was the last straw. I’ve been so attacked lately with this OCD. It’s scaring me. Sometimes it feels like it’s coming from me. I felt like I woke up in total disbelief. I just woke up feeling so numb and questioning life. Doubting everything and I get OCD is a doubting disease but dang. I don’t want to doubt God & Jesus. I look back at my experiences and sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn’t. It makes me feel like God is mad at me or will leave me. I’m constantly checking myself, my feelings, my thoughts and even if I’ll “act on this thought”! Deep down I know it’s not true because God is love but does anyone have any advice on how to move forward with these thoughts of rejection? To have a better mindset of believing & receiving Gods Love, Grace and Promises.
Hello guys i have religious Ocd almost 3 months now, could you guys give me some advice on how to deal with this? Its so distressing that i feel everytime i could possibly blaspheme Jesus. It really feels like im trying to think or recall a specific blasphemous thought intentionally.
