Looking for people who struggle with Religious OCD

@Anonymous Yes. I am. How about you? I know this affects all religions. I hate it for anyone who has to go through it

@Anonymous I think it’s OK for us to wonder. I think about it with my children. I never get mad at them whenever they question my judgment or my rules. I just simply explain to them why things are the way that they are and sometimes they still don’t understand. I think that’s how it is with God. I don’t understand why things are unknown with him. Maybe it’s just something that we have to wait for when we get to heaven where all things will be understood. We are in a fallen world and we can’t achieve perfection here. That’s what heaven is for. So I think suffering with this kind of stuff is just part of the earth’s free will. And obviously this is just my opinion. It’s not biblical or set in stone. I can’t say enough, about how loving and understanding God is and he sees our hearts, and even though we feel bad for the thoughts that we are having, whether they be intrusive or actual thoughts of our own, God understands and he still loves us, and he still wants us,and he still desires us,And we are going to heaven my friend wether we can see it or not. Jesus’s blood shed will always overpower our OCD. It will always be stronger even if it doesn’t feel stronger

@jmiracler People who suffer from OCD are some of the most caring, loving, and empathetic people that God has put on this earth. He surely will want them by his side in Heaven. Please stay strong. God loves us

@Letsgostate Thank you my love. I can preach this all day long and 100% believe it for others but most of the time I can’t convince myself it’s true for me. It’s just the broken mind, but God sees the whole mind and I know it’s got to be true

@Anonymous You are not alone my friend. I had a mental breakdown 11 years ago and developed religious OCD. It’s so hard, but know this……. If us, mere humans are so willing to serve a God who we don’t even think loves us or wants us, then the almighty loving God surely keeps us. I know the thoughts are so horrid and offensive, but know that God takes no offense to these thoughts that are not our own, and know that he sees the pure soul past all of the stricken OCD minds. Praying for you my new friend!

@jmiracler Hello! May I ask, before your breakdown, did you feel you had OCD? I had a random mental breakdown 5 years ago and developed a few different OCD’s from it. Has a professional explained to you why this may be?

@fmnz No. I definitely did not have OCD before my breakdown. I’ve never really asked, so that does pose a good question to ask why my breakdown triggered OCD

@Anonymous Yes friend! Mine too. I have thoughts of whether I really love him and I feel like I don’t love him sometimes though I know I absolutely do. It’s extremely overwhelming to feel like I’m never gonna make it to Heaven. I’ve suffered with depression and anxiety since I was a young girl, but I always found reassurance in knowing that when I got to heaven, all of this would be gone, and I would be made whole and complete. But now that I’ve wrestle with never feeling like I’m going to make it to heaven. I don’t even have that comfort anymore and it’s a lot to take in sometimes.
