I always want to get close to God and my ocd is always related to me thinking I'm going crazy however my ocd also sticks to religion it kinda pulls me away because I'm scared that I'll go crazy if I focus too much on one thing or do too much of one thing..so I went to the dentist and I was waiting on my boyfriend when this man that was speaking about God came and he was speaking to me and he kept saying I should give my life to God and I told him I want to do it on my timing and he kept saying no and after a while he showed me something in the daily bread and he turned to another women that was a the desk of the dentist and say something along the lines of me being a dead little girl if I dnt follow the word of God or something similar 😔now this makes me scared and it puts a lot of pressure on me because now idk what to do anymore, and I'm lowkey trying to change and get closer to God in some way

Hi there! I’m sorry you had that interaction. That was a strange and unnecessary reaction from that person at the dental office. Only God knows who will go to Heaven and inherit the kingdom. As a devout Christian (assuming we are referring to the same God), that is not the way He would want us to share the gospel. The main things you want to focus on are repenting from sin, diving into the Word and putting your faith in Christ. I would start in John chapter 1 and go from there. Pray for guidance and a continued peace when dealing with OCD. My faith has moved mountains when it comes to my OCD and I have no doubt that it can help you, too. Praying for you and hope this helps. You got this! :) Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy to support any way that I can.

Managing spiritual things is hard with OCD and it’s ok to take your time. Do what you can to try to grow your relationship with God, God is merciful and He will help you get closer to Him though it takes time

Correct, random comments do not dictate anything the Lord does.

Aw I am sorry. You are doing good trying to get close to God. Keep trying and never give up. You are doing good. God loves you, and I understand gong thru things with religious ocd, so feel fine to talk to me anytime. Everything will be ok. OCD attaches to what we care about the most. Sounds like the man was hoping to teach you more about God and hoping you would draw close to God. You are doing good though. He probably meant he didn’t want you to wait. God wants us to draw near Him and now is the opportunity and time to do it. ❤️God loves you though and is patient. We do have to draw near to Him. That is wonderful you are wanting to be close to God. not in a way that makes it feel obsessive to you, however you could read some of the Bible a day or so throughout the week even just an encouraging verse or two. That will help you draw near to Him.

I need y'all's help ASAP

Idk what to do right now I'm really freaking out I really want a relationship with God and Jesus and the holy Spirit, but I'm struggling my ocd and whatever I'm going through is destroying my faith, I really want the holy Spirit to transform me, but everytime I notice the holy Spirit I get resisting and want to push him away idk what to do anymore. I'm starting to become cynical towards faith and I'm really freaking out and idk what to do I don't want to be abandoned by God

Feeling Distant From God

OCD often makes me feel distant from God. I often feel unforgiven, unloved, and even hated. In my head I often view God as someone who hates me and who is always constantly disappointed in me. My relationship with him feels like an Obligation now more than a relationship. I’m always on the cusp of becoming an atheist, but I always draw myself back because I don’t want to give up my faith so fast, even if it’s been 4-5 years of living like this. I’m often at war with myself daily. There is never a day that I feel as though if I do one small thing whether it be buy something or eat something that I’m going to end up in eternal damnation. And even though I know it’s only OCD and it’s cognitive distortions, I still feel uneasy.

Christianity

Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?
