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.

Religious OCD
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

Religious OCD
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?

Religious OCD
Hi! I have Religious OCD, and have been recently needing some tips on how to deal with this painful disorder. I constantly feel like God is telling me to do certain things for example, “don’t go there,” or “don’t do this or else it will be against my plan for your life.” This causes me so much anxiety, and makes me question if I am doing the right things to live according to his will for my life. I’m constantly worried I’m disappointing Him. Also while praying I get thoughts in my head saying I should for example, add for religious practices to my routine. This also causes me stress because while dealing with this disorder, daily religious practices become very overwhelming. I’m worried that if I ignore these thoughts during my prayer, I am ignoring God. I have truly hit a limit where I don’t even know what to do, and am searching for some tips if anybody on here has any. Let’s overcome this OCD together. Thank you
