Hi! Question: (Religious scrupulosity)

Does anyone ever get confused of what’s an actual conviction versus the OCD instilling fear/ guilt? Sometimes it’s hard for me to discern the difference

I struggle with this too OCD is tough with the thoughts...I think it is just something you have to pray on to ask God for clarity, not compulsively of course. I don't believe God is instilling fear and guilt but always good to take it to him in prayer.

All.The.Time. That’s a Hallmark of Scrupulosity.

I hope this helps. SCRUPULOSITY PURE RELIGION Condemning Ennobling; uplifting Damning Exalting; to help us be like God Critical; demeaning Loving Fear-inducing; afraid of God Peaceful Overwhelming Hopeful Restricting, with focus stuck in the past Conducive to personal and eternal progress Discouraging Uplifting Demanding: “Religious practice must be 100-percent perfect or it’s worthless”; “I must perfect myself” Flexible and forgiving “I am perpetually guilty” “I can be worthy, while not being perfect” “Christ’s Atonement doesn’t apply to me.” “Christ is my Savior, and His Atonement applies to me personally.”

hey, i totally get how confusing and frustrating it can be trying to untangle your true feelings from the OCD noise. it's like your mind is constantly playing tricks on you, and it's exhausting. 😓 i'm actually dealing with a different theme of ocd, so i might not have all the answers you're looking for. but, i found something really helpful recently - the "unstuck ocd therapy tools" app. my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's been a game-changer for me. it offers ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. also, the ocd stories podcast has been a great resource for me, giving me insights and making me feel less alone in this. hope this helps a bit! ✨

Moral scrupulosity

Hey guys does anyone know how to not let moral scrupulosity control your life? Because when the compulsions are moral I feel like it’s harder to interpret whether indulging in them is a good or a bad thing. Even when I can tell it’s definitely OCD it’ll start making me think “wow you’re not even gonna give it a chance? It’s bad that you’re not thinking about it more this could be more serious than you think!” Any advice?

Hello all, so I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts that come against God and his spirit. And I can't tell if it's me anymore or OCD. Sometimes I'll get one bad thought about his spirit And then the thoughts just stick around scaring me And confusing me. I keep getting super hot and feel like I'm on fire. What if these thoughts are coming from me is my biggest fear and idk what to do about it. Idk who I am anymore and I'm worried that I am a bad person. What if these thoughts stick around forever and I will never recover from these thoughts. I'm having trouble excepting that they are intrusive because they scare me so bad I want to be 1000% sure I'm not offending God. But a part of me can't shake the feeling that it is me. I'm scared and nervous and I haven't slept good in almost 3 months. I'm really tired of fighting this and scared at the same time what if It was me all along and that I'm never gonna make it to heaven.

Religious OCD

Hello all I'm a little bit of a wreck right now. Idk if any of y'all go through this but I would love to know I'm not the only one. My mind keeps trying to attribute all the bad things because of the holy Spirit. I would never say those things but I'm scared and confused. I'm scared I am pushing God away. Sometimes I get really scared because sometimes I don't care and it scares me. I'm nervous these thoughts are coming from me. And because of these thoughts I can't even thank the holy Spirit or feel safe. And because of these thoughts they make me doubt who I am as a person and it scares me. What if I'm asking for forgiveness and I don't mean it. What if I am doomed. Any responses would be nice I can't even cry properly anymore.
