My religious ocd is so bad I can’t do anything I wan to anymore and want to check in myself to a hospital. I can’t dress the way I want, do anything at all and feel I just convert to full Christianity so I do not go to hell. My ocd tells me I hate Hod and talk crap about God when I don’t.
Dear Jesus, I pray You will provide sophia70 with peace from the extreme attacks from her religious OCD and the enemy who is tormenting her. Please remind her that she is loved by You and that You don't call us to live in fear, You have called us to freedom in You Lord. Guide sophia70 in the ways of Your truth and guard her heart against the lies of the enemy. Please help her to rest well and at peace knowing that you're holding her in Your loving arms. I ask all of these things in Your Perfect and Holy name Jesus, Amen.
Best thing to do is practice ERP in this situation. Have ChatGPT write a story about you and your religious ocd and “hating god” make it as uncomfortable as possible. Read the story over and over without giving yourself reassurance and sit with the anxiety. Write down on a piece of paper over and over “ I hate god” until your anxiety around the scenario becomes less. Remember OCD is all about certainty. Telling yourself you don’t hate god even when you know 100% you don’t, is giving OCD all of the control. Remember it’s all about the maybe, maybe you do hate god & maybe you don’t, but we don’t know. I wish you all the best on your OCD journey friend 🫶🏼
I’m not sure if anybody has given you the true Gospel before, but the Gospel is simple, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved! Trust in him alone as your Savior and you will be saved ! It’s not about being a “good person” or doing “good deeds” or a bunch of religious rituals. It’s about simply believing and trusting in him as your savior, that he died on the cross for you and paid for all your sins, past, present, and future! The moment you believe in him you are sealed with the Holy Spirit forever! You can never ever lose your salvation and Jesus will never leave you. So don’t let these intrusive thoughts get you down, they aren’t true, they are lies. And when it comes to wanting to live a more holy lifestyle in the way that you dress, what you watch ect, take baby steps, and ask God for wisdom so that you can discern between what is from him and what is just OCD. If you feel like you can’t do anything anymore, that sounds like the OCD has taken over and is making you go overboard in a religious manner, don’t listen to that ! Spend time in the word of God and let Jesus lead you, trusting in his words and not your thoughts and feelings, and remember that no matter what, he loves you and your his child.
@Jesuslovesme777 I’m Protestant and I get this belief but if you asked a catholic for example they would tell me that isn’t true?
@sophia70 Catholics don’t believe in what the Bible teaches, they do not believe in Grace alone, they believe in mixing works and useless rituals with salvation, which is unbiblical. They lead many astray and do not believe in truth. If you ask them to provide evidence for their wrong beliefs, they cannot provide any because they don’t know the Bible and cannot back up any of their claims, however we who follow the word of God can 100% back up the Gospel of faith alone with scripture :)
I think you would really benefit from looking up Mark DeJesus. He understands how we struggle with OCD as Christians and has lots of YouTube videos and has written several books on this topic. I also wrote a book about how to deal with OCD as a Christian. You can see more at WagingWarAgainstOCD.com
im Catholic and ever since starting highschool and started being scared of what people are thinking. I’m scared that I’m evil and that I praise evil because my ocd is a fear of talking to it so my compulsion is to focuse on talking to something or someone else. But, I keep imagining evil like under the ground and now it feels like I know its personality. And I can’t imagine it as truly evil and I can’t even imagine God anymore. Please help
Hey I feel like I just have this evil like whirring feeling of anxiety and like “something bad is gonna happen” and feeling you’re going to do things against God or like you already have I guess?
So I've had OCD since I was a child. Like really young. The first intrusive thought I can remember was when I was 5. It just keeps getting worse and lately they've been making me physically ill or throwing me into extreme panic attacks again ( ones where I can't move my body ) the other night I thought God was trying to kill me because I was thinking about ending myself from OCD+ life issues but in reality I was just having a panic attack😭😭it affects me daily. It gets a little better with therapy but I don't see therapy coming into my life any time soon and I'm not even sure if I would want to go (for multiple reasons). To wrap this up if you have severe ocd can you tell me what it's like?? I don't want to label anything without proper research and hearing others perspectives. Thank you!! <3 (My profile says all of my subtypes if that helps any)
