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.

Does anyone else get intrusive thoughts while praying or thinking of God? It has been stressing me out so bad. I feel like I’m a bad Christian or somethings wrong with me cause sometimes I get flooded with intrusive thoughts when I try to focus my time on God.

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

Can someone send reassurance?
One thing that I’ve noticed about my OCD is that it makes me feel very regretful and embarrassed at the end of every day. I reflect on every interaction and every conversation and any thought that I’ve had throughout the day. As a result, I feel more and more ashamed of the way that I act, even though it is probably normal for some of my age to act and see the things that I say. Earlier today I flirted with a guy and then as soon as it ended I had so much religious and moral guilt about it. Does anyone have any advice on how to not feel so ashamed after doing the typical activities that people in their 20s do? I feel like these thoughts are making me want to isolate from everyone else so that I’m not put in the position to do and say these things. I feel comfortable with myself when I don’t talk to anybody but I’m noticing that that can’t be normal . I don’t want to lose friendships and potential relationships out of fear that I’m going to say something wrong. I don’t know what to do.
