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.

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.
