Hi
How are you
How are you
Not so good, my harm ocd seems to just always be there and it makes me feel like im going to do bad things. I keep waking up in the middle of the night and i find it hard not to come on this app to calm myself down and reassure myself. Then i worry about things like “what if i secretly want these thoughts” or “what if i do actually want to do these horrible things” and its just really scary and i dont know what to do to make things easier for myself.
Have you tried therapy? I'm sorry I know what you feel because I also sometimes get caught up in obsessions but the thing to remember is you have ocd, you're not just choosing bad thoughts, it's a mental illness and we must bear it with courage and Truth, courage to move forward and not believe the lies and live life and in truth of knowing you're not your thoughts, and that thinking will not solve anything, we cannot be cured by one good thoughts that comes to our head, we are cured by living life which when you think of it it's not a bad thing, you get to be cured as you live your life, it's hard at first, the anxiety hurts and feels bad but once you keep going past anxiety you realize you conquered one fear then another, the thoughts will come and go but you get to a point where you see the thoughts as what they are lies and harmless just thoughts, and you make the decision to not listen to not check and to trust God with your life and move forward knowing He loves us and He is in control, we want control so much we try to analyze our thoughts but while we do that we stop living and that's not God's plan for us, He made us to be fully alive not to check every thought and punishment ourselves, we are sick and God the best Father is caring for all His sick children and He doesn't abandon anyone, we cannot control life but He is in control and allows us to live how we want, try therapy and see how it feels, talk to God and let Him guide you, dare to feel the anxiety and not do compulsions just dare to challenge what ocd says, who said ocd is the boss? Ocd will try to make you feel guilty but it's all lies, do not go to ocd for permission for anything nor to your feelings which are now hijacked by ocd, go with your values beliefs and heart and truth, there will always be a reason ocd gives you to feed it compulsions, you have to be strong and move forward it's a trick of ocd so fight back and disregard and trust God, it won't be solved in one day but keep trying and fighting every chance you get to disregard and resist compulsion is a blessing because it's an opportunity to recover, to trust God and to grow in virtue

@NOCD Advocate - Cesar O. Loved this!
Not the best honestly. I may be more stressed than I think and it might be showing in my sleep. I'm waking up in the middle of the night, my thoughts are racing like crazy and it's difficult to go back to sleep. Deep breathing is definitely a big help but I need to work on ways to calm myself effectively. Thanks for asking! I always see your posts are uplifting for people on here
I'm sorry you are having a tough time, it will pass, it always does, don't fight it too much at some point u have to accept that you have ocd you have obsessions that you cannot stop and that it's not your fault, you're not in charge of the world or of anyone, let God be God, and that doesn't mean that because you have anxiety God can't act no, it means that because we try to control everything we miss on what God is actually doing and how He is loving us. Let Him take care of it, He wants to, He loves you and wants to help you. Thank you for your support God bless you and pray for me ill pray for you
