Religious OCD

Hello guys. I really need advice over here, my brain feels like it's in a fog. And I'm scared. I feel really angry and upset and indifferent towards God and it scares me. I feel faithless and concerned about if God is mad at me. I feel like I'm gonna lose control and rip my head off or gonna smash my head. I keep getting urges and uncontrollable thoughts and it feels all to real. I'm trying so hard to fight and pray, but I'm on edge I have no idea what's coming next. I'm scared that I don't even have OCD. I want to be sure I have OCD. My mind keeps saying I'm using OCD as a excuse for my thoughts. I feel angry on the inside and I'm scared what does this say about me. I'm really freaking out on a internal level. Any advice or anybody who went through this pls respond.

Wow - I can relate you are not alone - today I thought maybe your using your mental health as an excuse to sin. To be honest I think whether it’s pure o or a spiritual battle God is merciful - remember Romans 8:1 - be gentle with yourself and try to focus on thinks that appreciate. I don’t have a quick fix or a solution - I struggle with thinking I have sperm in my mouth and I am swallowing sperm - all the time. I recently had moments where I felt relaxed and close to God . It’s a journey and this will be the hardest thing you ever encounter - no matter what remember God wants an intimate relationship with you and has multiple scriptures of comforting us. I am sorry you are going through this John 14.1 do not let your heart be trouble trust in God trust also in me (90s version of NIV)

Yeah I understand, sometimes I feel so close to God almost as if I could just hug him. But it lasts only for a little bit. I'm scared that I've done something to cause this to happen to me my thoughts feel all to real, I've been struggling with so many thoughts, and I can't seem to get rid of them. No matter how hard I try. I do have ADHD so it makes it alot harder for me to come out of negative thinking patterns, but my biggest fear is that I don't even have OCD and it's just me. But ig it's called the doubting disorder for a reason.

@Anonymous Your not going to be alone I understand what your thoughts are doing to you I'm at a point in my life we're I'm scared I committed the unforgivable sin. Idk what to do I can't cry over my thoughts, I mean I cry but I don't feel emotion in my heart. I'm scared God hates me and doesn't love me anymore. I just want a relationship with God and the holy Spirit but I feel like it's never going to happen

@Jesuslover28 This is a sensitive issue for you. I totally get it. Be gentle with yourself Romans 1212 be joyful in hope patient in affliction and faithful in prayer. There’s a reason God put that scripture in the Bible patient in affliction in this life we have a lot of afflictions mentally emotionally spiritually. We don’t know why God allows them but rest assured that we’re not alone. God is with us. He sacrificed his son - keep believing keep the faith, no matter what your thoughts say because God says never will. I leave you nor forsake you - trust in Gods undying love - psalm 13 - Roman’s 8:38 -have a good night

Religious OCD

I need help everyone. My thoughts have been getting worse… I haven’t used my ERP because it feels too scary and too real and so I am caught in this spiral of doing compulsions with every other thought that I have. I have thoughts about that bad guy that are so horrible and then I think that the bad guy is talking to me so I do compulsions and desperately want GOD to believe me when I say I don’t mean the thoughts, but then it creates doubt about whether or not I actually do mean the thoughts. And now I am afraid of my own thoughts This makes me want to fix ALL of the thoughts and feelings that I have to prove even more to myself and to GOD that I don’t mean these thoughts. On top of all of this, I am trying to convince myself that it’s OCD and not me at all. Does anyone have this and can anyone help? I am so tired and scared and burnt out…

Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.

Religious OCD

Hi! I have Religious OCD, and have been recently needing some tips on how to deal with this painful disorder. I constantly feel like God is telling me to do certain things for example, “don’t go there,” or “don’t do this or else it will be against my plan for your life.” This causes me so much anxiety, and makes me question if I am doing the right things to live according to his will for my life. I’m constantly worried I’m disappointing Him. Also while praying I get thoughts in my head saying I should for example, add for religious practices to my routine. This also causes me stress because while dealing with this disorder, daily religious practices become very overwhelming. I’m worried that if I ignore these thoughts during my prayer, I am ignoring God. I have truly hit a limit where I don’t even know what to do, and am searching for some tips if anybody on here has any. Let’s overcome this OCD together. Thank you
