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.

Religion/OCD
Hello, This is my first community post and I would like to know if anyone else struggles with Religious OCD themes, I'm a Christian but please share any perspective you have. - What do your thoughts look like? - How do you know they are related to OCD? For me it's becoming a constant, 24/7 cycle and it's very draining. I want to find some kind of peace between my thoughts and God so I recently started NOCD therapy again. I'm not totally sure how this all works (treatment, OCD diagnosis, etc.). But if anything I want to know that I am not alone with Religious OCD. Thank you

Religious OCD
I used to have religious OCD. Still kinda do. Accidentally thought something bad about God once, panicked thought something bad about the Holy Spirit. Fell into doom. This was recently after recomitting myself to Christ. Since then I pretty much gave up. Unfortunately, it also led to me compromising my morals many times because I figured I was going to hell anyway. I wish I knew what OCD was then. I think it would have saved me a lot of pain. I no longer have a relationship with God, and fear I never will again.
