@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.

Question for those with Religious OCD
Do you think OCD could be one big lie and deception of Satan? It would make the most sense from a spiritual perspective. And motivated by fear - and God does not give us fear.

Does ocd make you think philosophically?
Right now Iām obsessing about the meaning of the world evil, and if anyone really is truly āevilā. It started when I was thinking about Judas from the Bible and how I donāt think he is really evil, but a flawed person with flawed thinking that made him make a decision he thought would be for the best. There are tons of people who would call Judas outright evil but is that really the case? Then thereās the case of if anyone is really evil in the first place. Take the most heinous act you can think of, there must be some underlying problem that is making this person do what they do. The action itself is evil but is the person also āevilā as a result or just really flawed. My ocd is trying to make me think Iām defending these people or actions by saying all this, but I know thatās not the case. Iām not sure if my ocd is making me think about this in the first place though. I definitely overthink a lot and it ends up with me thinking about all these philosophical ideas, but maybe thatās just who I am and not a result of ocd. Sometimes my ocd really makes me feel the need to find an answer, which is really hard to do with topics like these, so I suspect it plays some role.

Is Ocd from God?
Answer is no. Ocd likes to create distortions of God. For example, thinking God is controlling everything you buy. God gave us free will and already knows what you will do before you think about it. He predestined and knows the future. Think about it, like the previous example, how will buying this or doing that ruin the will of God? It can't. God does not want you in constant anxiety or fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 ESV [7] for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. The word of God is a good place to see if it's really God's will. You will know once you read the Bible. God loves you and wants you to have peace. God bless.
