Anyone else on here struggle with religious based ocd? Just wanting to see what some other people who deal w it experience. It’s been really hard and flaring up recently. Would love to connect with others that deal with this :(
I struggle with doubts. I had an intrusive thought about “is god real” and it’s been hard. Some days I’m okay and others I feel so confused, scared, foggy and anxious. It’s those heavy feelings as well. It’s scary but I’m trying to move forward. I didn’t know doubting the existence of God was a theme until I met some people who had it! It has helped me realize I’m not alone. I’ve struggled with other themes such as Relationship OCD and Health anxiety, but this one is by far the hardest. One thing that has helped is whenever I get those thoughts and feelings of doubt I sometimes say “thank you OCD for showing me what I love and value!” OCD attacks what means a lot to us!
I just found out that I have magical thinking and I am religious
@Anonymous I’m so sorry I have that wrapped up with mine as well. Magical thinking mixed with some pure O
ya it's hard to even internally embrace religious and spiritual things without ocd getting in the way giving me intrusive thoughts
I do. I would also love to connect with those who share the same worries. Mine is always telling me that anything I do is me not choosing God. Or my faith in him is always being questioned.
hey there, i see you're going through a rough time with your religious based ocd acting up recently. it can feel super isolating, so i'm really glad you're reaching out to connect with others going through the same thing. mirrored experiences can be a comfort in dealing with something this personal. 💛 have you heard of "unstuck" before? it's an AI therapy tool specifically for OCD (unstuckmyocd.com/try). i've been using it for a month and it's been really helpful. someone from this forum suggested it to me and i honestly wish i knew about it sooner!
Does anyone ever have ocd having to do with religion, like Christianity?
Anyone here with religious ocd?
I’m new to NOCD and was recently diagnosed with having traits of OCD. I’ve yet to start therapy, but I’d like to start to engage with the community and especially with anyone who can relate to what I’m currently experiencing. I’m a spiritually based person and my OCD has latched onto my spirituality, religion and may be making me question my overall reality, etc. This also makes me question whether or not I am experiencing Magical Thinking OCD as well. Can anyone who deals with spirituality, religion and false memory OCD help guide my thoughts and I? I know that we’re not licensed professionals, but I am seeking fellow users who can relate to what I’m currently going through and experiencing because I currently feel alone and like no one else immediately around me can relate. Thanks in advance!
