My ocd is going off the hinges. I can’t stop thinking God is angry at me and hates me and it’s weird. And can’t stop thinking everyone hates me. I can’t stop thinking that no matter what I try I’ll never get better. This sucks
You don’t suck anymore than the rest of us 🫶🏻 I understand the feeling that God hates you. Assuming you’re talking about the God of the Bible, Jesus and the Father forgave murderers, thieves, adulterers, liars, blasphemers, and the list goes on. You can’t OCD Gods love away. If that makes any sense at all.
@Anonymous Yes, I’m Catholic and I’ve been exposed to a lot negative people and I’ve been assuming what people think and the worst. Thank you.
God knows you. He knows everyone. He knows that life is really hard. He knows a wholeee lot. He knows that the thoughts you are having, your personal struggles, your doubts and fears, are all just because we are mortal. We aren’t perfect, and God knows that, and that is why He does all He can to help you feel His love while we’re on this earth away from Him for a moment. God is all-powerful and all knowing. God has an infinite love we literally cannot comprehend. God could never hate you. He could never hate anyone. ANYONE who sins or makes a mistake or thinks something bad or thinks something bad they DIDNT want to think, God knows that it’s just because we’re imperfect beings who are here on this earth just trying our best. When we die and go to heaven, all He will see of you is that YOU are His child and He will cry for joy at your return.
OCD always distorts our view of God. We have to re-learn how God really is, because the OCD distorts the picture. I am a Christian who has struggled with religious OCD since I was a teen. If you can treat the OCD, you will feel a LOT better. So let’s talk about how to treat the OCD. Most people who do ERP therapy can recover from their OCD symptoms. This can be a huge game-changer in your life. Consider doing ERP therapy through a place like OCD. I can also explain it to you if you want. Also, it has helped me a lot to use resources from Christians who have OCD. Jaime Eckart (spelling?) and Mark DeJesus, I highly recommend.
@Tea and Honey A place like NOCD, I meant to say
Hello all, so I have been struggling with intrusive thoughts that come against God and his spirit. And I can't tell if it's me anymore or OCD. Sometimes I'll get one bad thought about his spirit And then the thoughts just stick around scaring me And confusing me. I keep getting super hot and feel like I'm on fire. What if these thoughts are coming from me is my biggest fear and idk what to do about it. Idk who I am anymore and I'm worried that I am a bad person. What if these thoughts stick around forever and I will never recover from these thoughts. I'm having trouble excepting that they are intrusive because they scare me so bad I want to be 1000% sure I'm not offending God. But a part of me can't shake the feeling that it is me. I'm scared and nervous and I haven't slept good in almost 3 months. I'm really tired of fighting this and scared at the same time what if It was me all along and that I'm never gonna make it to heaven.
I know this is a problem God this is the biggest problem ever. my ocd got worst. praying hasn't helped, and its like why when I think my brain thinks of all the worst things you could imagine GOD why, and I'm honestly losing myself. I cant sleep without my brain imagining and saying the worst and DISGUSTING and HORRIBL things I could imagine why when will I be okay? I cant even write this without my intrusive thoughts taking over, twisting things, and making me lost. I just want to live in peace.
I just started high school and my OCD is horrible. It was bad the couple weeks leading up to it but now it’s even worse. All of the stress triggered my pure OCD and now my brain is believing that I am evil. And now whenever I try to pray I feel I can’t. Then when I try to use ERP, it just feels like I am going against God by saying maybe I’ll letting evil in.
