God help
I’m trying so hard to be optimistic and have good faith in God but sometimes I wonder is he really going to help me out

He'll help you, in His time, not yours. Just keep asking.
Sometimes it’s hard to know how God is working. Sometimes we wonder why he puts trials in our life. But I’ve learned over the years that He uses these moments of hopelessness to show us how desperately we need Him. He uses these moments for our sanctification. Keep looking to Him and rest in the knowledge that nothing is outside of His control. There is a beautiful line from a hymn that goes: Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look full in his wonderful face And the things of earth will grow strangely dim In the light of his glory and grace
Gods love works in mysterious ways but he is there with you 🙏✨
Nothing can separate you from the Love of God (Romans 8)! „One year has passed and I have a new song to sing. Because the one who counts the stars is also the one who holds me in his hands. Through the cries through the exhaustion, the unbearable emotional pain He was there. When I found out that all the compulsions, all the rituals were actually in vain That, my friends, is the real pain. So I grieved, I grieved I grieved some more, and deep down in the pit is where I found Him. He was holding me, in every thought, in every pain, I was precious to Him.“ (poem)
God helps in different ways. Through therapists, videos, this forum. Praying for you!
Does anyone else feel like they think these horrible things on there own or on purpose. I feel like I'm intentionally trying to hurt god and the holy Spirit now and idk what to do. I feel like I'm becoming my worst fear. Idk what to do I feel like I'm losing touch with myself and idk what to do. And I'm really worried God is going to turn his face from me or I'm going to do something I am going to regret. I'm not really sure whats happening to me, but I'm scared I'm going crazy.
I really just need to vent. I recently had a relapse and while some days it seems like I’m feeling better, others are so difficult. Today, I’m breaking down at work in the bathroom and I feel so awful about that. Aside from the really scary thoughts I’m having about my health and my family members, I’m starting to feel really hopeless about the future. Like I’m never going to get better and that I’m going to get stuck in this ocd cycle forever. I know that’s not true because I’ve been able to make progress before, but the desperation and frustration that comes with a relapse make it so hard to remember that. I started medication and it’s only been about 3 days but I’m really scared that it’s not going to work or that I’m going to have to go through a lot of trial and error. I just really need to hear from people who have worked through their health ocd. I need hope.
They’re getting more intense.. My mind wonders if what i’m feeling is really OCD.. what if it’s not and i’m in denial? Why is my life like this, a constant loop of fears and stress holding me back. I just want to live. To be the kind boy everyone knows. To make and be a difference. There’s sometimes I wish I could stay asleep.. to rest for a while. To hibernate all these feelings away. But I know that’s not how it works. Each tear I shed is a reminder of the hell I live every day when I open my eyes. I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know why I am anymore. Please someone.. advice, words of positivity, something.. I feel so alone. I’m scared. I don’t know where else to go.
