If you want to see true possession, just turn on the TV. Over half of Hollywood is possessed. Lol

@Anonymous Well, the hard truth is, maybe, maybe not is the only answer. Our minds are predisposed to obsession, which leads to constantly trying to analyze everything, and we get stuck in detective mode, and always try to figure out every thought every situation every possibility. Sometimes I wish I can just be normal, but it is so hard. I have had this as well, it’s actually normal for someone with OCD. Experience it only seems real because you are thinking about it so much that you are starting to live it, it becomes part of you. Then I’ve experienced once I stop obsessing on it and go to something else, and no longer feels as real. It seems seems stupid.

If you aren’t into God, apologies, not tryna push anything on you, but you did mention possession so therefore you may believe in evil, and if there is evil, there is a Devil, and if there is good there is a God. So here it goes. Dont freak out, relax it doesn’t get a hold of you like you see in the movies. Although OCD is a mental defect, it does make us more aware of the spiritual aspect of intrusive thoughts. Everyone has them, we just try and figure them out, and get stuck on everything because we need to add meaning to everything. So in short, this is partially spiritual yes! And partially physical. The thoughts dont come from us, but the reactions do.

I believe in God the only reason I got that thought is because I'm scared to be possessed or something, I pray to God and go to church

Slightly giggling because I don't see this theme often! But I REALLY struggled with it as a child. I was terrified of being possessed, haunted, ghost watching me, I was constantly apologizing to God. I'd have nightmares of me being dragged to hell. My mother had me see the pastor and i begged to be baptised. 😅 all jokes aside. Ocd can be about anything and I hate to give you reassurance but please know you aren't possessed. Try to settle. And definitely be willing to give exposure therapy a try. It changed my life. You're not alone in this!

Yes, as a Christian I get this one a lot. I sometimes worry that I'm possessed or cursed. I know it's just me head messing with me though

@Anonymous But just keep praying and reading the Bible. In my personal opinion I think if we were truly possessed we wouldn't have the urge to go to Jesus with the issue. I feel like we wouldn't want anything to do with him if there was a demon in us. Idk tho lol. OCD is odd

@davinking I agree, demons, and possession, flee from the light, they hate the name Jesus. For you to be possessed and even question if you are and pray to God is an obvious assurance that you are safe I think people watch too many movies and they have a false Idea of what possession really is. In reality, I think it is something that you are not conscious to or aware of, and mostly it is by influence. Possession would be more like an identity, a state of mind. Sin is an identity.

I have experienced a number of themes over the years and I’ve been able to distinguish what is OCD, and what is an actual threat I have went through for example, a rabies theme. With this one, everything I touched any little scratch on my finger any animal, I pet any animal I came into contact with any area. I would go where there could possibly be a bat, I would think I got rabies. Rabies is extremely rare in the United States, right? I could not possibly have had that many exposures in just a couple of days so OCD kind of gave itself up and that and I stopped believing it, I also had the same problem with driving and thinking I’m running people over, I could not possibly be running someone over every single day every time I drive and I drive a lot. I would have killed hundreds of people by now so it just stopped making sense, those are all obvious OCD. The trouble is when to decipher when it’s OCD and when it’s not.

still the obsession with the idea of devils, demons and being possessed is in my mind although now it varies in intensity. i’m so alert to every sensation in my body - pins and needles, moving in my scalp, tingling hairs/muscles. These flare up most at night time. These sensations still make me feel uneasy - even if im told its anxiety, i still regard being possessed (or turning psychotic) as a possibility cos of those sensations. I immediately link these sensations to horror movies or stuff i’ve been told about spirits. i wish i didnt have this disturbing thought ? it feels like an obsession that no one else with OCD has, but if im wrong i hope someone can reach out and relate ??

Someone plz talk to me :(
I keep randomly getting scary evil/ demonic images or thoughts in my head. I can’t specifically describe how or what they are but I just feel scared & unsettled I feel like I’m possessed or that a devil is controlling my mind or something! I’m catholic I haven’t really been that religious but I’ve been so scared that I started praying to feel better and I feel like I need to pray to make whatever this is go away. I never believed in possession I’m more of a scientific based person however I’ve reached the point where my beliefs aren’t firm anymore I feel scared I don’t know what to believe it’s like I’m slowly believing my mind is being controlled I’m scared :( is something severely wrong with me? Is possession / devils real? Do I have a severe mental illness am I going crazy / developing psychosis or becoming delusional?? :(

Ghosts
Has anyone here ever had obsessive thoughts about ghosts? Like what if there’s a ghost in the house? What if it’s a demon? And I get so scared. That stuff freaks me out so much. I had a nightmare last night about a Demon/ghost and it scared me so much. I usually have intrusive thoughts about harm and they center my daughter. And I woke up looked at my daughter and what if she’s a demon popped into my head. I get a sinking feeling in my stomach even typing it. I know she’s not but now I’m like am I going crazy? Like am Turning psychotic? I’ve never heard of anyone obsessing over this but me. And it’s taking a lot to post this cause I have a fear I’m the only one and I am going crazy but I know at the same time OCD can latch onto anything. I was doing so good with the harm intrusive thought. I can totally ignore them now. And I’m confident I’d never hurt my baby. So now I’m like is my OCD jumping to something else? But why this? It sounds so crazy!
