Religion/OCD

Hello, This is my first community post and I would like to know if anyone else struggles with Religious OCD themes, I'm a Christian but please share any perspective you have. - What do your thoughts look like? - How do you know they are related to OCD? For me it's becoming a constant, 24/7 cycle and it's very draining. I want to find some kind of peace between my thoughts and God so I recently started NOCD therapy again. I'm not totally sure how this all works (treatment, OCD diagnosis, etc.). But if anything I want to know that I am not alone with Religious OCD. Thank you

i’m a Christian too and here’s how some of my thoughts: - when someone upsets me i feel the need to make things a right immediately or God will be mad at me - i question what’s a sin (is eating sugar a sin? is playing this game a sin?) - think i said something bad about the holy spirit and committed blasphemy

Hello I don't know you or your thoughts but I have some scriptures I can give you - He knows our thoughts & our hearts (John 2:24-25). He is 100% for us to be restored, sanctified, and without fear (John 3:16-17; 2 Timothy 1:7). Saved by grace alone (Ephesians 2:8-9). He knows that we are human (Psalm 103). You can surrender to Him and He will show you the way, even if it looks uneasy or confusing our hope is not in our own righteousness but by abiding in Christ (John 15:5)! Thanks for sharing.

Hi. You're certainly not alone. My main theme is real event OCD, but never the less my relationship with God was completely distorted. OCD causes us to believe we are the worst, we're not forgiven or forgiveable, we try to do more religious things as a compulsion, and so on. I had a definite noticeable moment when I was a couple months in to ERP therapy, that I felt sober. And I began to actually experience my faith in a real way again. One thing I also experienced was believing God is telling me to do this or that. But it was intrusive thoughts because the "voice" was the loudest in my mind. Remember, God's voice will never be the loudest. Usually the quiet, calm voice.

Theme switch: Scrupolosity

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. I’ve been a Christian since I was 13, growing up in a non-Christian in truth but nominally Christian household. This is rough. Any advice?

Pretty Tough Morning

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
