I have also had similar fears or dreams about this my case. I’m Christian, so God being offended by my OCd or intrusive thoughts. I think God knows that I can’t help the fact that I have OCD and he still loves me anyway and hopefully just ignores the intrusive thoughts that I don’t mean to have. I feel like God is a all seeing being and he knows more than anyone else so he would know and understand that OCD doesn’t make you bad person, It just makes you a person with a very intense fear disorder, unfortunately.
Also, from experience, try your best to learn to not feel shame from your OCD after all it is just fears it’s not actual hurting anyone, so try not to feel ashamed of it ,feeling shame will just hurt make it harder on yourself. Stay strong
Hi. I just posted something to another post and I am copy/pasting here bc it seems to apply. I hope you find it helpful. ———————- One thing that helps me is the truth of how much God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit do on our behalf - INDEPENDENT of anything we do. John 6:37-40 says: All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.” I love this passage - The Father gives us to Christ, Christ does not lose us and will raise us up on the last day. And this of course is all in line with the Holy Spirit sealing our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14). So when I see all that God does, the fear of evil is lessened. I say that because OCD is super good at taking the greatest things in our lives (like a relationship with God) and somehow turning and twisting it into anxiety and a list of things we need to do to “make sure” we haven’t messed up. So the more we see God’s grace - specifically grace - we start to get freedom….bc grace is APART from anything we do, that is actually in the definition of grace. Easier said than done, but I have learned that if I can get the truth of His grace from my head to my heart - even just a little bit - then I start to experience freedom.
something that really bugs me and gets in my head with my rocd is that for most of my relationship i’ve had this nagging anxiety and ocd about it. i can accept my thoughts for the most part, but have this underlying fear that this one could really mean something and that makes me feel guilty! i don’t want to loose her but my mind tells me i do because ive had these thoughts. it’s even coming up in my dreams now! i had a dream last night that i cheated and it made me panic all today and feel so bad and this thought came up again! any advice?
My intrusive images were an absolute nightmare back in April. I honestly don’t even know how it got better, I had written a letter to God begging for help. Well recently idk if it’s because I’ve been stressed a lot again and ruminating on a lot of pocd related things from the past the make me worry, but the images have started again and even though they are repulsive and awful, I feel like I’m not reacting how I should. I think I just got to where I would just try to like blink it away and ignore it, but I feel so bad if I’m not feeling absolute shame and guilt. I feel like I feel too normal and sometimes I forget that if anyone knew besides people on here, I can’t imagine what people would think, but I also know it’s not who I am so I feel like I don’t worry as much as I should. Also, I can’t stop worrying about fanfiction I read when I was like 16 and 17. It really bothers me because I keep wondering did I imagine this one character my age? Why did I read this? Did I even know what aging up was then, and even if I did it’s wrong and gross anyway but if I didn’t age this character up then that’s awful. And i just can’t let go but I think it’s triggering me to have the images so idk what to do.
I have made multiple mistakes in my past that lead me to believe im a bad person. thinking about them often sends me into a panic attack. i cant help but feel i need to be punished. i hate this feeling, what should i do?
