It’s not God. God doesn’t want you to suffer. He actually hates watching you suffer. He knows you are strong. Way stronger then even you believe. He wants you to trust that even though you feel like you won’t get through this, that through him you will. He want us to give it to him and let him handle our fears. I’m not trying to get all religious on you. Trust me, from someone who has questioned my own faith a lot from having OCD, I now know he loves us, I know he wants the best for us, I know he’s with us. We may not understand why we are dealt these cards but maybe we are not meant to know. It’s easy to blame someone or something for our problems and because we feel like God is so powerful, we wonder why he can’t just take it all away for us. Trust and believe he’s strengthening you. That this is for a reason, and that you’re strong enough to face this. Even if it doesn’t feel like it. I’m here to tell you that you will be ok. This will pass and you will feel like yourself again. Be gentle with yourself, take care of yourself, and most importantly, love yourself. Take it a second at a time and just breathe. It’s all going to be ok❤️. Sending positive thoughts your way. I’m gonna end this by sharing a quote I read earlier. It says “God puts us through troubled waters because he knows our demons can’t swim”. Stay strong.

there is nothing we can do.you know I believe in something. I believe that luck is not on everybody's side. Some people are lucky and live happy.And others like me and you are not lucky and suffer. Life is a question of luck only believe me.

This is the lies OCD feeds you. It’s not Gods who’s making you suffer. God does listen to all your prayers. He answers them but maybe not when you want it. You’re meant to go through things that you think will break you, but can you ask yourself. Have I actually broke? You’re still here, you’re still alive. I know it’s hard, trust me I live it with you. I have had intrusive thoughts so bad I couldn’t even function. I’m telling you that you are strong. You are worthy and God loves you even when you are angry with him. Stay strong❤️

I love him and I want to go with him, but I’m hesitant because I worry that when I go to him it’ll get worse. Like I think when I pray, I’m showing God that I’m not suffering enough and that I need it do get worse

I’m always here to help❤️. I don’t know how much of a life coach Id be but we can definitely help each other???. Just don’t forgot how amazing you are. OCD likes to lie and tell you that you’re not but it’s not true. You’re strong and worthy and don’t forget that God loves you for all of that. Everything you think he wouldn’t love about you, he loves even more then you can imagine. You will beat this. You are still YOU with OCD❤️

Hi friends. I recently had a relapse with OCD and I haven’t felt that real intense pain/fear/panic since I was first diagnosed 3 years ago. It was awful. I’ve been on medication and going to therapy for some time, and I am happy to report I have grown a lot. Long story short, it’s just become a burden for me recently trying to understand why this had to happen to me (and all of you). When I first started following Jesus, it was such a spiritual high. I had so much peace and joy, and I think within that first year with Him I became obsessed with the Bible and learning as much as I could. I think it was a sweet time, but suddenly a switch flipped. I became concerned that all my head knowledge, though I took to heart, became all I cared about. Then all the intrusive thoughts started, and you know the rest. I was relieved when I got my diagnosis, to know that scrupulosity is even a thing. But today, I sit and realize my OCD has taken on other forms (existential/fear of going insane) and then of course I started asking God “why me?”. And then… of course.. I feel bad for asking that. And then it triggered that same old feeling that I’m not in right standing with God. It’s so meta I can’t take it. Does anyone wonder why this had to be? I know the typical answers “we live in a broken world” and “God will use this for His glory” but is anyone just able to sit in that frustration, and work it out? I want to keep fighting, try understanding, like there’s this itch in me that I need to “figure out” something. But I know God isn’t the voice that’s speaking that to me. But gosh, it’s so brutal and hard. I believe God is carrying me through this. 2 Corinthians 12 has been a blessing for this. I just feel so weak. I get upset this is happening, start doubting God, and then feel guilty. It’s a stupid cycle and I see it. I have a very intellectual mind, and I find that most people with this kind of OCD share this trait. But it’s like, the logic doesn’t help. I just want God to sit in my bedroom and tell me it’s real, my faith is intact, and to keep trusting. I don’t know why He won’t do that for me, and I feel guilty for even feeling that way. Anyways, I don’t know what I’m seeking here, but for anyone feeling this way, know you’re not alone. I deeply love you all, even though we are all strangers. 1 Peter 5:9… right?

Please help. I have felt so off/wrong all day. I constantly worry that the “bad guy” is going to get me. I have awful thoughts and I constantly want God to know that I don’t mean these thoughts. I am at a point in my therapy where I need to choose to use my ERP but it feels too scary. I then do compulsions, which makes the OCD worse, which makes me want to use ERP less. And the cycle goes on. I am currently sitting in my car crying because I feel so lost and exhausted. I’m not supposed to figure out my thoughts, but today I just went into a spiral of sadness and depression, thinking that I will always feel like this. When my thoughts got really bad at the end of the day, I tried to use ERP even though I was shaking and not believing my responses and I ended up feeling like I missed something and that I gave into the “bad guy.” I have no one to talk when I’m not doing therapy twice a week. I am alone and have no one to talk to when I am like this… please help

i feel depressed. i’m so tired of living with constant guilt, fear, and pain. i feel so lost and lifeless. i feel like i’m not living for myself anymore. i'm so done with my life. i really hate myself. it’s all my fault. everything that goes wrong and everything that keeps happening to me is all my fault. i feel sorry for the people who have me in their lives. they don’t deserve someone like me. this world doesn’t deserve a person like me. i can’t do this anymore. every night, i keep crying. i just don’t want to wake up the next morning, yet i keep waking up. for me, another day is another suffering. i hate myself so much. i don’t deserve anything good. i hate my really bad and dark thoughts, and i can’t tell whether they are truly mine or not. the guilt is eating me alive, and i feel hopeless and undeserving of forgiveness. my family doesn’t know about my struggles, and i don’t want them to. i don’t want to be a burden or make them feel like they failed as parents. i don’t want to make their lives any harder. i just hate my religious ocd. sometimes i think i’m just making it an excuse. i feel sorry for God and Jesus for being this kind of person. i wish i wasn’t born into this world. i can’t continue living like this. i feel like i’m going insane. i’m just accepting that i’m horrible, and that all those bad thoughts are mine. that i'm disrespectful and a terrible person. i'm not suicidal. i’m just so tired of living like this. i'm not expecting happiness or anything good because i don’t deserve any of it. i feel like a disgusting person. i hate that someone like me still has the courage to show up every day around other people. i deserve all the pain and to drown in it. i just want to vent about what i really feel right now because it feels so heavy and unbearable. i don’t want to make others’ lives miserable or hurt God anymore.
