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

@blehh Yess the tarot card readers trigger me so bad! Sometimes I block them before they even get a chance to talk bc I’ll take everything they say so personal!🥹 I always think about if I’m going through psychosis also! It sucks

@Danie-Rae To me it is! Maybe not to others tho which is okay!💗 it leaves me in a constant worry. I could see a commercial and think it’s a “sign” knowing it’s not.

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.

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.

Are really odd coincidences common in FM/ocd?
Like things that feel like ‘evidence’ and clues…. It’s like I can’t let these things go. I’m not talking about ‘signs from the universe’ , I mean actual real life things your ocd is using against you. Not reassurance seeking.

Religious OCD
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?

Religious OCD
Hi! I have Religious OCD, and have been recently needing some tips on how to deal with this painful disorder. I constantly feel like God is telling me to do certain things for example, “don’t go there,” or “don’t do this or else it will be against my plan for your life.” This causes me so much anxiety, and makes me question if I am doing the right things to live according to his will for my life. I’m constantly worried I’m disappointing Him. Also while praying I get thoughts in my head saying I should for example, add for religious practices to my routine. This also causes me stress because while dealing with this disorder, daily religious practices become very overwhelming. I’m worried that if I ignore these thoughts during my prayer, I am ignoring God. I have truly hit a limit where I don’t even know what to do, and am searching for some tips if anybody on here has any. Let’s overcome this OCD together. Thank you
