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/scrupulosity
Hey guys lol So the longer I’ve been in OCD therapy, the more my meds have helped quiet my mind: I realize how many things I have been doing that was compulsive that I didn’t realize was compulsive. And for some reason I felt like those compulsions helped me to feel closer to God. Like felt closer to my values. And now that I’m recognizing what I’m was doing and now that my medicine has helped create space between my thoughts and what to do next, I feel like fear was what helped me be close my values? Can anyone else relate? Or does anyone have tips on how to still feel close to your values with the absence of so much fear and paranoia caused from OCD?

Religion
Hey y'all, I've been noticing a lot of people on here are religious. It's been years since I've been religious myself, and I'm just curious as to whether it helps and how it helps with OCD.

Christianity
Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?
