I battle with time with God feeling like a compulsion too. I told God yesterday I want a relationship with Him. I don't want to just pray, read and journal to check off a box. I want to know Him. I'm glad you have peace today.

@Mike in PA @Mike in Pa. I am slowly coming to that realization. It is indeed a journey of learning.

@Mike in PA Thank you. I will try to begin to apply this. Sometimes it's hard to read the Bible, listen to worship music. And music is how I love to worship God. I've only been at NOCD and doing ERP for about 3 weeks so I'm trying to take it one day at a time. I see improvement in one area then hear comes something else. Such is OCD.

@Mike in PA These are great. I love “Fear not, I am with you.” Isaiah 41:10 The way I see it is some intrusive thoughts can feel scary and resisting the compulsions can feel scarier. Keyword: “feel” But, God takes care of his children so there’s nothing to fear.

@Mike in PA I know it. Small steps. But Scrupulosity sure does mess with the things we love the most. But I have suffered with it for almost 50 years and I know it's going to take time. But we will get there.

@Mike in PA There's a song by Cory Asbury called misunderstood. It's beautiful.

@Betterdays_ontheway 🙂 Yes if we could not feel the emotions OCD brings with it.

Oh and a win is my intrusive thoughts are down, not gone but down some.

So far (I’ve been awake for two hours), I haven’t given in to an intrusive thought. I’ve had many, but I’ve been able to identify them as just thoughts and move on with my day. This is not normal for me.

@R Byrd I didn’t! Went to work and got triggered and stood in a corner ruminating for a half hour. But that’s okay. I’m working on bouncing back.

@noneuclidean It is ok. You only ruminated 30 minutes. You got this!

@R Byrd I ended up ruminating for several more hours, I’m ashamed to say. Hardest day in six weeks. But I had a good cry and plan on continuing to fight. Sorry to be a downer. I really was doing great this morning.

@noneuclidean No! 6 weeks of doing well is great. Not a downer. You keep fighting!
