I have religious OCD and I’m always getting bad thoughts that I need to stop by either repeating phrases or blinking really hard til they’re gone. I’m a catholic and I obsess about sins. I’m always worried about things I’ve done in the past or right after I do something and panic that I sinned. It’s terrible it affect me all day, and I can come across completely “normal” cause nobody can see my worry.

Exactly, as a Christian with ocd there seems to be a lot of doubting and worrying if I’m going to screw up. I also worry about sin a lot too and sometimes stress about past sins.

Yeah. I’m having an attack right now. Worried that I said something to someone that could have been a lie but I was just nervous and wanted to say something. It actually went like this - a girl I knew from school was talking to me about a few different teachers we had and how she would make fun of her and stuff and her boyfriend was sitting across from her and we were laughing and she’s like “you missed out on catholic school” and I looked at him and he didn’t look like he felt like he missed out so I was like “he’s fine he doesn’t care” so then I felt bad that I said something bad about catholic school and then she said something like do you remember this teacher and I was like yeah she made me cry. But now I don’t know if she actually did. Did I lied and spread a rumor and ruin her name and sin???? Like I can’t stop thinking about it.

It sounds like you over think something that doesn’t even need to be worried out but I do the exact same thing too and I’ve had that problem before too where I stress about whether I just lied or not and I can’t remember. But as for the sin part I really can just say that Jesus died on the cross so that our sins could be forgiven and God loves you and forgives you if only you ask for forgiveness and also maybe she did really make you cry, and if she didn’t then you most likely didn’t ruin her name because teachers make students cry sometimes it just happens so I would just talk to God about it. Jesus understands and he still loves you.

Thank you for being so kind. I love Jesus and I love that he forgives me. It’s just things like this that make me so confused. Like it’s not like I’m thinking “I know this is a sin and I don’t care” it’s “did I just sin? Was it a mortal sin?” Do I need to confess this? And if I do what kind of sin is this? And how would I even explain it without sounding like I’m talking in circles?

I totally understand and since you are so worried that means you do care and if it was sin, just talk to God about it and tell him and he will always forgive you. I have that exact problem too, I over think and over analyze a lot of simple problems. But trusting in God and letting him take care of it always helps me feel peaceful.

My mind just starts racing with thoughts all day. I overthink aswell so I just tend to sit in the thoughts and can’t escape. I mostly have thoughts that tell me I don’t like the things I do like snowboarding or backpacking or if I even if I love my girlfriend. Deep down I know I do but then I start getting worried that the more I think these things the more they come true. Then I have tons and tons of more thoughts throughout the day and it just feels like I’m constantly having anxiety and constantly battling my brain over things that don’t even make sense. I’m only 17 and this is extremely hard and I feel like I’m wasting these teenage years. I don’t know what to do or where to go. I’ve picked up reading my bible and praying more but the thoughts persist please help.

I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.
