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.

Religious OCD

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

Religious ocd thoughts

I get the constant wave of sadness that ocd has taken my life from me. I can't share my thoughts and they don't feel like mine. I have episodes where I think God must hate me or see some secret sin in me that I don't see, or else I really really am missing when the holy spirit is saying to me. I want to be free so so deeply and have a normal, independent and fruitful life but God is not answering me. Why do I have these thoughts? Are they spiritual or just my mind? If anyone with Religious ocd can help or share how they navigate a true relationship with Christ while having ocd, I would really appreciate it. For context, I've had dozens of people pray over me and I've literally screamed like a child for God to give the answer, I had faith-based ocd even before i understood the gospel or personally knew Jesus. I want to live with eternity in mind and be free from these things so so much. Thank you!
