Is anybody else religious?
I have recently found God after being non-religious all my life and it’s been tremendous for my mental health. I still suffer with OCD but turning to God makes it bearable. ❤️

I’m trying very hard to find my faith again. I attended a zoom prayer meeting on ptsd and shame and it made me feel so much better. I pray I find God every day bc it’s so hard without him. Pray for me as I will pray for you all. God bless us all.

@Everythingzen Jesus says that whoever comes to Him He will never cast them out. So if you pray out to Jesus He will hear you even if you don't always feel it.

I am Catholic! OCD is such a heavy cross, but my faith is what allows me to find beauty in the suffering. My toughest OCD moments become opportunities to invite the Lord to carry my cross with me. Praying for you and everyone on this thread!

@jesuslovestay I honestly am not sure as I didn’t grow up with Christianity so I don’t really know. The Church I’ve been going to that is near my house is a Protestant Church so I would say I am Protestant.

I grew up baptist, but I truly found the Lord outside of church, so I just more or less just consider myself a Christian.

Hi everyone. I’m new to this and I don’t know if this would be the right place to share this but my first encounter with OCD was when I had my first intrusive thought around the age of 12. The thought was “God is stupid” and I couldn’t stop crying that whole night. It was the craziest thing ever. How my mind went from normal to abnormal in just a flash was terrible yet fascinating. I’m a Christian and always wondered why God would let such a strong and intense disorder enter my mind. One of the most strengthening things that someone told me was that these thoughts were not “me”. As in, these thoughts are not my fault. I believed and ever since, I was slowly able to conquer such as crazy disorder. Other issues I had was my mom not understanding it. It feels even more rough that your parents don’t really know it because they don’t experience it. But I’m here to say that God has helped me gain control of my mind overtime and I believe he didn’t give me a disorder. He gave me a gift. I just needed to learn how to control it, that’s all. God Bless and Shalom❤️

Im a Christian I might have OCD
I gave my life to Jesus Christ in July/August(i dont remember the exact date), everything was fine up until this point. This is something I've dealt with before I met Christ. I dont want to leave God because of this and I keep finding myslef being isolated and I don't know how to properly handle this. I keep getting really bad intrusive thoughts and I've prayed, rebuked, did a deliverance prayer, read the bible, everything. I prayed to God about how lost I felt and I just couldn't understand why this was happening, then he revealed to me that I am dealing with OCD, so I did some research on it. Does anyone have advice for this? 🙏🏻🤍

Should I turn to religion?
So I grew up catholic but pretty much rejected the religion a while back but I still keep some aspects of it with me that help me feel safer (such as having images of virgin mary). I dont think I could ever rlly go back to being “fully” catholic but Ive been wondering if anyone has any experiences with religion helping with their ocd? Theres a part of me that really wants to turn to religion to help in my healing journey but I just wanted to know if anyone had any advice in the matter or any tips??
