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.

@bunniesncheesecake Thank you for your reply. It’s nice just knowing someone else understands what I’m going through. I really appreciate it

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.

I also want to note I am newly diagnosed with OCD. I have been feeling this way for some time.

Does anyone else suffer from ‘Real life events’ OCD? I constantly worry about things I did as a teenager (from ages 15-19) I wasn’t a very nice person and think I was quite a toxic girlfriend in my first relationship. I’m always terrified that people are going to find out and that I’m going to lose my job or something awful. I also think that a lot of people would be so shocked if they knew some of the things that I’d done, and that they would think so much less of me. I feel a constant need to confess or apologise, and wish more than anything that I could erase that whole chapter of my life. Previously in counselling, we looked at ‘black and white thinking’, and I managed to rationalise that everyone makes mistakes and nothing I did was that bad, but I have this horrible feeling that one day this will all catch up with me. Is this just genuine guilt and remorse or is this a symptom of OCD? Thanks in advance.

Does anyone out there obsess about sins and if you’ve committed sin? And get bad thoughts in your head that could become sinful if you don’t blink really hard or repeat things to yourself ? It gets to a point where I cry and cry about it cause I can’t see anything clearly. I’m always questioning.

Does anyone else have the compulsion to confess? Even if I haven’t actually done anything my OCD will give me reasons that whatever I’ve done has either hurt someone or will cause people to dislike me. Is that just me?
