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.

Religious OCD
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?

Religious OCD
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?

Religious/Scrupulosity OCD
As a practicing devout Catholic I am often very conflicted about determining my moral culpability and if my thoughts and actions are mortal sins. A lot feels at stake here since it’s about offending God and whether or not I need to go to reconciliation so I don’t go to hell. It doesn’t seem prudent to say “maybe, maybe not”. What am I to do?
