OK, so advance warning here - in an Atheist. It seems to me that most religions "work" this way. You are "meant" to feel bad if you "stray". Just try and remember the core message of love and forgiveness!

My ocd started that way with the blasphemous thoughts. All I can say is you those thoughts are ocd and knowing ocd’s trick’s always helps me. The feelings those thoughts trigger is because they go against your values. I hope that helps with feeling the guilt. You can’t control every thought that pops up no one can.

I have religious OCD and what you are talking about may actually be my biggest anxiety factor. If I am to talk about religious topics I get hit by so much anxiety depending on the scenario. The thing is that this anxiety makes me feel like I'm ashamed of God. It only makes sense in a normal scenario that if ur anxious about talking to God maybe something is wrong (but this is not a normal scenario, we got OCD). This thing tricks me, it makes me think I'm ashamed of God, I say "sorry" in my head and that's the whole cycle. Again and again and again. Ur not alone and I hope this brings a little hope. Does that happen in Church situations too? Do you feel like that in Church?

No its just when theres someone present who is not a Christian. I have a friend who always talks about something church related even if we are in public and he also talks very loudly. I am introverted so I dont like if everyone is gonna listen to us. But I think that Im just ashamed of my faith and then I feel horrible. Its just I dont like talking about such things in public. Second in the last months Im having a hard time with my relationship with God Im just trying to figure out why my life is so mkserable with ocd and all that other stuff and why my prayers arent heard etc.

Your prayers are heard, it just takes time sometimes and there's nothing to be ashamed, people are going to trash talk maybe and that sounds scary, but really, it's worth it. Also, as I said, I feel like I'm ashamed of God many times but that's not really the case. If it's OCD that does this thing when you're with your friend then just keep talking to him and don't fall into your compulsions (if that's not to much ot ask for, ofc). I hope you get some clarity.
