Confusion

Sometimes I have thoughts that I would normally assume to be ocd, not sound like ocd. I start to think/feel that it's God telling me to do these things?? I then end up feeling guilty for not immediately implementing these things into my life. I hate that so much of what used to feel like ocd seems unclear. I don't feel like a good person. I know a lot of sermons aren't made with ocd in mind, but I feel like I'm not listening to God if I don't listen to thoughts I would've thought were ocd before

I totally understand. One time I heard a sermon about how we shouldn’t love money, and my ocd said that I had to give away all my money to the poor, my brain would tell me that that was God telling me to give away everything that I had, because if I didn’t I would be disobeying and therefore would be consequences. I for a few months I couldn’t sleep because I was obsess about what gonna wanted me to do to “follow the kingdom of God”.

Its ocd trying to grab on to your values. OCD is not a religious issue is trying to attack your values. Work to keep your beliefs faith how you practice pray separate. Raise uncertainty. Pray when you want to or worship use your faith in the way that you want to and when you want to. Dont let those intrusive thoughts interfere. You can do this. Your faith is separate from ocd. If you need support and are not in therapy please reach out to nOCD care team for support. YOu can do this. OCD is trying to bully you around do not let it. You are brave.

Does anyone else struggle with knowing which thought or voice is from god or if it’s just your ocd?

Hello all, so I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts that come against God and his spirit. And I can't tell if it's me anymore or OCD. Sometimes I'll get one bad thought about his spirit And then the thoughts just stick around scaring me And confusing me. I keep getting super hot and feel like I'm on fire. What if these thoughts are coming from me is my biggest fear and idk what to do about it. Idk who I am anymore and I'm worried that I am a bad person. What if these thoughts stick around forever and I will never recover from these thoughts. I'm having trouble excepting that they are intrusive because they scare me so bad I want to be 1000% sure I'm not offending God. But a part of me can't shake the feeling that it is me. I'm scared and nervous and I haven't slept good in almost 3 months. I'm really tired of fighting this and scared at the same time what if It was me all along and that I'm never gonna make it to heaven.
