How do I not allow my ocd to steal the joy out of all of my most joyful moments right now. I know I should pray more for God to help me see the good and peace these amazing situations bring, but I just can’t get this pit out of my stomach. I get angry easily and have a short temper, I hate it. My boyfriend has been so patient with me but although he says it’s okay and he understands it’s still something I don’t want him to be on the receiving end of… Please help. Any and all advice is appreciated, please be nice💕

Begin by loving yourself. Allow yourself to enjoy the moments without having expectations or worrying about the outcomes. Embrace the mindset of simply having fun and enjoying your own company, regardless of whether your partner judges you or not.

@Nicoleisdoingtheirbest - Be easy on yourself. We are not perfect. Great you identified the root of the issue, now moving to solve it. Dwelling on the fault and having negative thoughts won't solve. Right?

try to stay present in the moment and focus on the positive aspects of the situation. Mindfulness techniques can help in managing intrusive thoughts and anxieties and do meditation 🧘‍♀️. Open up to your boyfriend about how you are feeling. Honest communication can help reduce misunderstandings and strengthen your relationship. Additionally, consider seeking couples therapy to work through any challenges together. Remember be positive and recovery takes time and setbacks are a natural part of the process. Be kind to yourself.It's essential to be gentle with yourself as you navigate this journey.

@Anonymous - Thank you! I mostly feel bad because he has been nothing but an angel during all of this and always has been. He’s so kinda calm and understanding and I do tell him how I’m feeling… I do appreciate your advice tho to try and stay present, I’m definitely having trouble doing that.

Of course 🙂It's totally understandable, but remember everything is going to be okay. There is nothing that hope and practice can't solve.

I'm a big jumbled mess. The hocd has backed down quite a bit to the point where I was starting to have moments of forgetting and my attraction to guys came back. Here's the issue. I'm a Christian and my boyfriend and I are in an unequally yoked relationship. I feel like to any normal person this wouldn't matter but my OCD moved on to this, picking at it viciously. Of course it makes me sad that we don't have the same view about the existence of God, but it's never bothered me THIS much. Also the fact that we have premarital sex is starting to bother me as well when it never did before. It's killing me. I feel like I can't talk to God anymore. I've been obsessing over it all day. What do I do? I don't want to break up with him. He is my other half. I love him so much. I know this is a really sticky subject. Please no anti religious comments.

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? 🙏🏻🤍

Someone help

Please , please… someone give me some advice who is or has been in similar situation?? I need to stop confessing to my partner. I know it hurts him, he said he knows I cannot control that I have a mental illness, or that I have these thoughts in my head but not to put them in his head, he doesn’t want to think about them which is understandable it’s not just random thoughts it’s intrusive thoughts revolved around ROCD, SOCD mostly are my ocd themes that I confess to him… we have spilt up over this before and he gave me another chance and just continues to do that, because I just keep doing it, I know what I’m doing, I know it’s wrong, but the anxiety ocd gives me nothing else will calm me until I confess either to him or if it’s not him it’s my mum, either way I’m still confessing the difference is it doesn’t hurt my mum when I confess, she can handle it, my partner cannot. I hate myself for doing this, I don’t know how to get out of the OCD haze… best way I can describe when I feel anxious over ocd is a feeling of DOOM. 😔😭 please pray for me… please pray for my partner, my daughter, mother, everyone who is affected because of my mental illness… 🤎
