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.
Theres been a recent situation thats been eating at my mind, it was 3 days ago i got a really nasty and worrying intrusive thought and at the time i couldnt help withdrawing and ruminating over it. But suddenly i cant stop thinking about it and its making things so hard because i dont want to. But then i start to question why i keep thinking about it and why it wont leave my head. I cant eat or focus on anything else im so scared right now. How do i let it pass, how can i let this kind of thought go or not pass judgement on it. It seems so impossible
Do yall get dreams and feel it was a message from God or a higher up to do something and you panic because you dont want yo do it but what if your disobeying God or your in denial and that dream was a message, and what you want isnt what you want. I was actually ok in this type of ocd for a while and this dream came and now im back to zero and worried and scared idk what to do. Anyone have this?
so you know how the more you have an intrusive thought, the more likely it is to show up in your dreams? well coming from someone who is atheist/agnostic and is skeptical on some holistic/spiritual takes on things, i am having a difficult time wondering why my intrusive thoughts are showing up in my dreams the way they do. once i wake up, whether it’s right afterwards or later in the day, i’ll remember the part of my dream that is totally fueled by an intrusive thought. unfortunately it’s not pleasant and very upsetting. so, how do any of you deal with this? i get worried and wonder if it has something to do with my subconscious trying to tell me something/having a spiritual meaning or a higher power trying to tell me something. these are super common ocd subtypes too so i know it’s that. i just struggle sometimes with the rumination.
