Religious ocd

yes i do, but it’s not so much in a religious way, it’s just i feel like everything is a sign of something

Yes, it's hard to discern God's voice. I'm often in constant panic but I trust Him and all will be well.

i think i might. I sometimes think certain lyrics in songs that will play are signs, there were birds in the trees in my yard that would chirp every day and i thought that was a sign, sometimes if i would look at the time i would think the numbers mean something, sometimes i think random words or phrases people would say to me were signs, or certain cars that would pass by were signs and a few other things. almost every time i thought i had got a “sign” i would immediately think “what if I’m going through spiritual psychosis?” after and then argue with myself in my head about wether or not it was really a sign or if i was just going crazy. i sometimes get tarot readings on my fyp from time to time and those would be a huge trigger too. the message doesn’t even have to apply to me i just would look at all the things they listed as signs and my brain just goes “if i see that anywhere its a sign” im not even sure what i the sign is for when i see them but i wont be able to stop thinking about it if i saw it and would think about it for almost the rest of the day on and off.

Omg yes i always think that

Is that bad?

My son suffers from Pure O scrupulosity where he has to complete a task or he will go to hell. He says the thought is God telling him he must do this. He is a former athlete and most of the task are dangerous par-core elements. He has to complete them three times and he is in a trans like state when the urge comes on. He was only diagnosed in July 2023. He had been controlling the thoughts from November 2023 till April 2025 with treatment doing amazing with his meds then stopped them and he relapsed and had to jump off a 3 story balcony and land it three times, he did it twice before his roommates were able to subdue him and take him to the hospital. He only had scapes and tore his achilles heel. While in the hospital on he said he had to slam himself on the floor and hit his neck or God will not let him into heaven. He feels it’s a sin if he doesn’t do these things. Scrupulosity (Religious) pure O (OCD) is debilitating. He puts such a toll on himself that pastors, priests, even the pope can’t adhere to. He knows they are thought not from God, that it is the OCD Beast and he struggles to not give in to the thought. It’s painful to watch and I’m sure horrific for him. He know the tools to help him but there are days like today he just wants to end it and find peace but knows that would be a sin to commit.

Yrrrr I live by too many churches 4 this 🪦🎟️

Trigger warning Yes, and it totaly ruined my life when I was young. I got thoughts like "If there is a red car coming I will end up in Hell if I don't change my life.". And for me I found these sign being right too frequently to be statistically normal. That was the most scary part of it and made me ruminate and making up new signs just prove I was wrong. But that didn't help. The signs kept pointing to Hell too frequent. Now after ERP I have been much better.
