Absolutely. It will make you question anything that means something to you, or anything you can't handle. For example, if you couldn't handle God not being real, OCD would have a great time with that.

@Welovehachi It could be a normal thought you are considering, and don't be afraid of those thoughts. But if the thought bothers you, that's the perfect area for OCD to come in.

@Welovehachi Wow this literally happened to me and I LITERALLY said, "if I just had a switch to turn off all of my ocd thoughts i would!"

What you're talking about literally reawakened my Ocd because I thought I was sinning because the ocd was making me question the existence of God even though while it was going on I was scared to death because I didn't want it to affect my relationship with God. I didn't want to lose my ability to believe in Him etc.. Looking back now I can clearly see the fact that if I care that much about losing my ability to believe in God and i feel extremely scared about doing so then I obviously believe in God. But ocd can make your ability to think rationally go down the toilet because you're just drowning in your own anxiety! From personal experience, I don't think I'm actually able to make sense in my mind if I am scared so I try to get rid of the anxiety first.

For sure it can. I had a terrible time with this one when I was using a certain belief system. It was awful, so many doubt, reassurance seeking, googling information for hours. Things got better. I actually did some studying and changed to another belief system. Years later ocd came back after a huge stressor and the doubts, anxiety and reassurance seeking came back but with the new belief system. It's ocd. I think the clue is when you can't think of anything else until you get the answer. What worked for me was deciding that whatever is out there, if anything, it probably understands about ocd.

@Welovehachi donāt apologize ! weāre here to help eachother . yes , your ocd takes over your brain and puts thoughts into your head that are unpleasant , and maybe even things you wouldnāt normally think .

Thatās kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just canāt make my mind up about something and Iām using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understandingā¤ļø

OCD has decided to latch onto my religion (Christianity) and I find myself doubting my belief in Jesus Christ. Yet when I research, I even find myself doubting the atheistic and agnostic approach as well. Iāve been a Christian since I was 13, growing up in a non-Christian in truth but nominally Christian household. This is rough. Any advice?
