I went through this last year! It can be tough because I thought if I was having these thoughts in church, I shouldn’t be there or I wasn’t paying attention etc., 1. God has grace for you 2. Way more people struggle with paying attention in church than they’d like to admit 3. Sit with the discomfort. Over time, it will get easier.

Yes, you may feel it’s hard for a different reason than me but I feel like I am not connecting enough with god in the ways that others do and I feel bad that I can’t tune in to what is being said even though I want to SO BAD

I knew I did when younger but I think that had something to do with my brother wearing a frock when he was in a church choir and had to leave or I'd laugh at him. 😅

I used to be like that at a church I used to go to. Barely understood the messages and connected to what they were saying. Then went to a new church and I looove it! So it depends on which church you can connect to the most

Scrupulosity
I am a Christian and I was wondering with religious OCD that if you give in to a compulsion does that mean you agree with the thought or actually want it?

ROCD? RELIGIOUS OCD? In denial?
After having a religious conversation with my mom I’m feeling quite triggered. She means well, it’s just I’ve avoided going to church ever since getting serious with my bf because every time I go I get this pit in my stomach and this horrible feeling that God is telling me to leave my relationship. But I don’t want to leave my relationship. So I can’t go to church, read the Bible or anything because it triggers this intense reaction and I end up believing I have to leave even though I love my boyfriend and really don’t want to. is anyone else struggling with this? And at the same time, I have so much guilt and feel so scared that I’m going to die because I haven’t been living a Catholic lifestyle and am afraid to die and go to hell. I don’t know but I’m so sad and lost:(

OCD while worship
Has OCD ever kicked in whenever you felt God’s presence? I felt like it’s been this way for me many times. I could get peaceful and then thoughts could come into my head and I wouldn’t like it at all. Can OCD do this?
