I get it! I’m Christian and have intrusive terrible thoughts at times and I’m frightened that I’ll go to Hell. Thoughts get worst when I repent daily, etc., all causing lots of extra stress. Also,
Sorry, also I don’t necessarily agree with some of my Christian friends thoughts/interpretations of the Bible or perhaps the way they express it. This causes more anguish.
@Butter field 8 no it’s alright, i appreaciate the support from anybody no matter their religion race and so on!
@Butter field 8 this means a lot!
Am sure...allah is the merciful and forgives our thoughts .I am.muslim and I have ocd and I have the baddest thought ever y. Every day while fasting when i do wudu I have the thought that Allah ain't real and I can just drink the wudu water and he wont know But I believe allah knows our suffering and he understands us more than other people do So chill out.. enjoy the last days of ramadan and ask.him for his mercy and forgiveness.. he can do miracle..ask him to help u in ur oCD journey
@Hd23 thank you so much for this brother!
i ALWAYS fear that I will break religious rules (Islam) that I exaggerate it a lot... Like Hasad (envy) is forbidden in Islam...so i always avoid looking at ANYTHING bc Because I'm afraid I'll envy it by mistake!!! even people! plus help!!!!!
I am a christian guy who grew up in a christian community and family. For as long as i remember, ive had horrible thoughts about all kinds of things that i dont know where to begin. Due to my extreme thoughts, i feel as if i am unworthy of practicing my religioin, such as praying, reading, meditating, etc. I feel ashamed when i go to church, as if i dont belong there because i feel like i am secretely evil, and that God knows i am evil and i am committing blasphemy by going there, and refusing to "repent", from my thoughts. But then again, my thoughts are just thoughts, sure. So whats the problem? - The problem is that in my faith, i have been taught that we must control our thoughts, so they do not get power over us to make us commit sin. Such as "If you think lustfully about a woman, you have already committed adultery with her in your heart". This verse has killed my self esteem, due to the constant unwanted sexual and disturbing thoughts. It makes me feel like a monster, who secretely just wants to abuse and be horrible to people, even though i know very well i do not want this. Sometimes i think horrible things about the people i love very much, such as my girlfriend. It feels so wrong and evil, even though i know it isnt my true will.
Please help… my religious ocd is now thinking horrible thoughts about Jesus and I feel like I should be freaking out more…
