Religious OCD
I constantly feel like God is mad at me. I constantly feel guilt from the past. I feel if I don’t confess sins against certain people I’ll surely be condemned. Does anyone else go through this.

I have a confession compulsion too, even if it's at a different degree than yours!! I'm so so sorry you are struggling with such painful guilt. It's so hard to deal with guilty feelings even if maybe deep down you know you've already repented (or you know you didn't actually do anything wrong but you're worried you did do something wrong somehow). I don't want to reassure because I know reassurance makes ocd worse, but I do know that God adores you with every struggle and every feeling you experience. He understands what you're feeling even if it's fear of His judgement.

God knows we have have OCD. He made every atom of our being, after all. He knows every struggle we're going through, yet He loves us eternally anyway. He understands. God does not punish. We live in a sinful world where punishment happens anyway. God loves us, and shows us good aspects of life for us through peace; not pain and suffering like OCD does. He knows we struggle with being over-vigilant, and I believe He would like for us to step back and enjoy life and His glory.

@Lucy vs Bad Neuronal Pathways I deal with so much guilt from a time period of my life when I was far from God. My heart hurts every day because of it and it has for a year or so. I’ve totally changed my life and I feel I’m truly living to honor God today. I just can’t stop feeling this guilt from things I’ve done years ago.

Had Religious OCD for some time without even knowing it, it was killing me. It was one of the common things for me, for every little thing I would say "sorry" in my head, it would happen maybe for houndreds of times a day. I had to take it slow but as soon as I realised those were compulsions I was able to slowly stop giving into them, now I'm 99% free of those things, it's possible.

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

Religious OCD
I used to have religious OCD. Still kinda do. Accidentally thought something bad about God once, panicked thought something bad about the Holy Spirit. Fell into doom. This was recently after recomitting myself to Christ. Since then I pretty much gave up. Unfortunately, it also led to me compromising my morals many times because I figured I was going to hell anyway. I wish I knew what OCD was then. I think it would have saved me a lot of pain. I no longer have a relationship with God, and fear I never will again.

Does anyone feel like god didn't forgive them even after confessing? Doing alot of sins and confessed but still have this fear of thoughts telling you you had so bad Thoughts about him and that you don't deserve to be forgiven? Or it's too late? And anything religious triggers you?
