Religious ocd

I’ve been feeling very empty. After all these thoughts i just have genuinely no desire to seek God. And i find myself getting angry at God because he allows me to have these stupid thoughts about him. I’ve been feeling anger towards him. I have no desire just emptiness. Every time i open my bible i also feel like it’s boring and it won’t help me. And that if i try and seek God again, nothing will work because i’ll just get caught up again in this ocd cycle. I want to WANT to seek God. Has anyone felt like this?

hii im currently dealing with relationship ocd and i am a christian, and one of the many thoughts ive been having is that if i get closer to God what if he takes away my partner from me because he might not be the one. i also feel like it’s okay. i would suggest starting slow by praying more, just talk to him about how you’re feelings for right now.. i hope this helps and i hope this brings you comfort that you aren’t alone in feeling this type of way

@angelina_gqlarza This is has been an obsession of mine for over a year. It’s what lead me to my OCD diagnosis. It’s so challenging and I’m so sorry you’re experiencing the same thing.

@CC.090715 It’s not really something you ever “overcome” is what I’m learning with OCD. A lot of it is learning to trust yourself again; and also knowing that because we have OCD things like “intuition” and “gut feeling” are to be ignored. It’s just something that’s still present. I’ve slowly started praying again here and there but one of my compulsions has been praying in the past so I have to be careful. A lot of having OCD is just continuing on as you would even with the thoughts and feelings present. Even when it feels wrong or impossible. Personally as well; I like to think God knows I have OCD and that I’m doing the best I can; even if it means my relationship with the church doesn’t look like it used to.

@CC.090715 As a fellow Muslim, I understand how challenging it can be to navigate difficult thoughts and feelings. It's important to remember that losing faith might not be the solution you're looking for. Sometimes, the thoughts that trouble us aren't from God, and recognizing this can be a step towards finding peace. Stay strong, my fellow believer. May The One God of Abraham have mercy on you and grant you healing. I have a theory about the cause of OCD that might offer some insight.

Religious OCD

So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?

I haven’t really been in my Bible lately cuz I just feel like when I read it like it’s to mark a box off and my ocd flare ups make it worse I don’t even want to read. I will read like a daily devotional or like a chapter but that’s like the bare minimum like it doesn’t even count so I don’t know what to do does that make me lukewarm I don’t want to backslide in my faith but I feel so far from God I mean I never really feel close either I just can’t even focus my brain is too loud.

So I’ve had it really bad blasphemy thoughts against god and the Holy Spirit but lately I’ve been ha these thoughts they say I do mean them even though I don’t and I’ve been feeling really weird like yesterday I felt really disconnected and it kept trying to make me say I meant the thoughts, but I don’t and I’ve just been trying to keep the thoughts away, but they’re so loud. I know the truth, but it’s just like so hard to keep them away with the images and stuff still there. It’s like I’m having a hard time being emotional so it’s like I don’t know. I don’t want to feel like I’m doing it for real when I’m not and I just don’t know what to think anymore. I don’t want God to harden in my heart. It’s very hard for me to even look at Christian things at all without saying something that.
