Pretty Tough Morning

Good morning. OCD latches on to what's most important to you. So it sounds like you value your relationship with God very much. The ruminating about: Am I saved? Is it too late for me? I need to pray right now. Am I doing this for the right reasons? All are very common with religious OCD. Been there. Done that ..over and over. My advice is listen to your therapist. They will give you tools to help you with OCD. But just know you are not alone. I had OCD almost 50 years before I knew what it was. I thank God I found NOCD. It changed my life. It will be work, but you can do it!

I have struggled with Scrupulosity for years. All day long I have doubts and worries about my salvation. What you are describing is very, very typical. Does your therapist do ERP therapy? If not, I highly recommend that you start ERP as soon as you can. It is extremely helpful. I have enjoyed a lot of Mark DeJesus’ lessons on YouTube. He gives a Christian perspective on the OCD battle.

hi! fellow believer here! the what ifs are OCD, OCD attacks what’s most important to you. you can’t talk to God for the wrong reasons! Jesus came so we could have a relationship with God our Father, meaning we get to talk to Him whenever, all day every day about anything and He’ll listen. take all of this to Him, every what if every doubt, He wants to help you. Surrender it to Him and ask Him to help you and heal you. if you believe, you are saved! the bible says so! there are so many reasons why i listen to Christian music, to worship, to connect to God, to calm down, to cheer myself up! God could take it all away in a second if He wanted to but sometimes we have to deal with hard things so that we can draw closer to Him. OCD and anxiety is something that is constantly drawing me back to God. every fear, what if, doubt, i take it all to Jesus and try to give up the control. it’s perfectly normal to doubt things but when we feel those doubts creeping in, we take them to Jesus and surrender it.
