Does anyone ever have bad thoughts that you don’t mean but then they race so quickly that you end up doubting if u meant them or not? Really confused? also I’m a Christian so my bad thoughts all mostly revolve around that. Lots of doubt too.

I’m still working on my trust too so I understand it can be difficult but you just have to keep reminding yourself, trust in Jesus and he will handle everything and take care of you❤️

Same.. I was so happy that as a Christian i got so well within 2 months.. and that's when I started doubting.. i was like no way God healed me of my rocd. People take years to get better, how come i got better in a week.. sometimes i feel like i deliberately think thoughts.. and I'm always thinking bad thoughts about my bf... Idk what's real anymore.....

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.

Thank you. I will trust more. I’m really working on it.
