extremely depressed/distressed please help

First I would like to say is that tw and I also can’t afford a therapist and please give me advice I have no peace in my mind I just want to be a normal person again. Since 2022 I have been getting filthy unwanted sexual thoughts towards children I feel awful about it because it goes against my morals and characters as a human being. I feel like a horrible person and I feel like I have no rest in my mind, everyday it’s the same thoughts that torment me and I happens all hours of the day there’s not an hour that goes by the day that I don’t get these ugly horrible thoughts. I recently started getting “feelings” down there and I hate it. These thoughts came back again stronger this February. I also believe in Christ so if you have advice of how I can pray against this because I don’t really know what’s the root of these thoughts. As long as I have these thoughts I can never be free these thoughts have put me back into a state of depression and well as suicidal thoughts I just feel like I’m living hell on earth I am also 17 years old female, so please someone help me. I have tried praying against these thoughts but nothing, I have tried deliverance prayers worship etc but nothing. — I also tagged Christian ocd for advice !!

POCD is such a pain, I’m sorry you are going through this! Just remember that OCD unfortunately causes unwanted images and feelings. Remember that these thoughts, images, and feelings are unwanted ! Meaning you don’t want them, that just lets us understand how it goes against your morals and beliefs. That’s why OCD attacks this certain trigger of yours ! I am also a believer of God, I always ask him to give me strength when it comes to my OCD ! I always ask him to give me strength ❤️‍🩹

@anonymously0123 Gods timing is worth the wait, be patient with him, it may take months and years! But he will always come through, in the mean time take care of your mental health and continue to not ruminate about these thoughts ! They are just thoughts and feelings that don’t mean anything ❤️‍🩹

I understand this. I’ve had those thoughts to and it’s terrifying! Also the feelings it gives. It just makes it feel more real. I have religious OCD themes now and it attacks my faith and now I’ve been getting awful demonic blasphemous thoughts and it’s SO hard. It makes me so sad. I pray He will get me through this. I wish He would take these thoughts away. It makes me doubt Him sometimes but I’m trying to trust this is happening for a reason. It’s so hard I wanna cry all the time. It makes me feel like the worst christian 😞

Pray to god to give you strength but understand that he cannot take the thoughts away. This is a terrible thing to happen and remember there’s nothing wrong with you and the theme is irrelevant , put it this way OCD wasn’t going to give you a fear or chairs for example, it’s tailor made to you and your beliefs. Please try ERP and Act, you can learn how to do a lot of these things on you tube, Nathan Peterson a great shout. Number 1 in OCD is education, there’s nothing to fear learning in OCD so don’t give yourself anxiety about what you’re worried you might find, get real life advice from REAL TRAInED OCD therapists, believe me their not interested in the theme it’s all OCD to them!!! Best of luck to you, now go educate and Continue with your religious practice as normal, if you get an intrusive thought just say ‘I’m praying right now, I’ll deal with this later’ xx

LONG POST: Can someone help me by answering this? I’ve had intrusive thoughts before but I used to just push them away. In September, I had intrusive thought about life after death and it sent me into a spiral of fear and anxiety. I had trouble falling asleep and focusing during the day. I went to see a therapist a month later. It was a walk-in session and they told me to do CBT. Accept uncertainty and move on. This gave me even more anxiety. Eventually, with meditation, i was able to keep the thoughts at bay. Then in December, I began to have intrusive thoughts about my sister. They were sexually disturbing and I even wished that I could have intrusive thoughts about death again. I then it switched to sexual thoughts about my brother and he’s only a kid so I feel even more disgusted by myself. It’s been like this for three months now. I’ve tried meditating but it’s not doing much. I’m ashamed to tell my parents and I don’t know what to do. I’m afraid I’ll act on the thoughts all the time. Then I wonder if I actually want to have them. It’s so draining. I hate waking up each day to these thoughts. I wonder if I actually want to have them since I have had them for so long. I’m so frustrated with myself.

Im a Christian I might have OCD

I gave my life to Jesus Christ in July/August(i dont remember the exact date), everything was fine up until this point. This is something I've dealt with before I met Christ. I dont want to leave God because of this and I keep finding myslef being isolated and I don't know how to properly handle this. I keep getting really bad intrusive thoughts and I've prayed, rebuked, did a deliverance prayer, read the bible, everything. I prayed to God about how lost I felt and I just couldn't understand why this was happening, then he revealed to me that I am dealing with OCD, so I did some research on it. Does anyone have advice for this? 🙏🏻🤍

i’m a horrible person

i keep getting thoughts of molesting/ doing sexual things to people (that i’m close to) and children, every-time this happens I extremely disturbed and have panic attacks bc i’m a horrible person. i’m honestly just contemplating just k*lling myself because i feel like a disgusting p3do who doesn’t deserve anything in life. i’m already diagnosed with anxiety and depression but i’m not sure if this is OCD or not. i hate my self so much- this thoughts won’t stop happening and i never want to do anything like that ever. :/. i’m not sure what to do, i’ve talked to my therapist but none of her methods worked on how to stop these thoughts.
