Religious OCD

I just told my mom my religious OCD has been really really bad lately and she just told me I needed to pray because demons can actually take advantage of me. Because demons are "stress" I'm not stressed I'm hallucinating and having genuine episodes where I think God is talking to me and telling me he hates me and I feel like there is a demon ready to take me away every night. I just feel like she doesn't understand the severity of what I'm feeling right now. She says it will go away but it comes BACK and I constantly feel endangered by something I can't even see. She said it's not that she was implying that I wasn't praying enough but still it just stressed me out. I didn't want to hear "you're right it could be Satan" I wanted to hear "you're okay and nothing is trying to hurt you" I feel like I'm losing my mind and i can't do this. I can't. My religious OCD hasn't been this bad since I was 10 I don't think. All I can think about is how im going to hell and there's nothing I can do about it and that there's an entity in my body and God hates me. I just needed to hear something else but that made me freak out more and I don't know who to turn to. I feel like I can't even explain it. I don't even know if it's OCD that's how serious I'm being. It feels 100% real.

This isn't me even trying to hate on my mom I just wish she told me something different. She's always telling me to turn to God but God SCARES ME. how am I supposed to turn to someone I think hates me. Anytime I think of anything I do I think "that's why I'm going to hell". I could even play music or lay in my bed and I'd start freaking out which yeah that might be ocd but the times where I completely lose it and start hallucinating is so scary and I can't do it

Trust in Him. Trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding (don't rely on your wisdom), in all your ways submit to Him (surrender everything at Jesus' feet), and He will make your paths straight (He will counsel you and show you what to do). Ephesians 2:4-6 For my GRACE you have been saved thought faith, it is not of your own doing, so that none may boast! Jesus Christ took your punishment away, so that what God looks at you He sees Christ. Do you have a Bible? I strongly urge you to start reading the Psalms as much as you can.

Demonic influence is very real and can attack the mind, however the mind is a very powerful thing in itself, take for example the medical placebo effect, patients healed through fake medicine. That's why we need fellowship with Christ daily and to be intimate with the Holy Spirit in us.

God does not hate you. God does not need to scare you. God loves you. John 3: 16-17. God gave even His son to save you.

Call on the name of the Lord, and you will be saved. Is there a trusted counselor you can talk to? Or a therapist?

The Lord will never forsake you. He knows your heart and you can trust in him. Lean on Him. You will be fine. Whenever you get those intrusive thoughts or hallucinations read the Word and sometimes a specific verse may stick with you can recall and turn your focus to for the day. The lord doesn’t hate you, he loves you. So please let that put you at ease. I encourage you to read the bible more if you can just so you can familiarize yourself with god’s true character. I understand some of the things you face with religious ocd. My dad often blames demonic spirits for almost everything and it made me stray away from christianity for awhile but I came back after reading the bible for myself and not accepting everything my dad says concerning christianity. Sometimes you have to just listen and discern respectfully bc they are your parents but just take things one day at a time :)

Religious OCD

Hey all. I need help. I am sitting on my bathroom floor freaking out and convinced that all my work towards getting better has gone out the window. I am so scared of the “bad guy” getting me all the time. I constantly feel like I have to prove to God that I don’t mean these awful feelings and thoughts that I have about the bad guy. I’ve had trouble sleeping tonight, going in and out of consciousness, all while dealing with bad thoughts going in and out of my head. Finally I woke up and am flooded with “you have so many thoughts and feeling that you let slide while you were trying to sleep. You had thoughts that you accepted the bad guy and you didn’t dispute them before you tried to move on. You have so much to answer for.” So now I’m sitting here in my bathroom floor hysterically crying and begging God to believe me when I say I don’t any of these thoughts or feelings… please someone help

I told my mom about my ocd

She laughed and said that everyone has these thoughts "i didn't tell her about the REALLY fucked up thoughts i experience cuz i was kinda scared" and then she said it's the demon just say ur prayers and they'll go away Even though i kept on trying and trying to convince her that they're clearly not normal but she kept on refusing and it kinda sounded like she didn't want to admit and believe that her daughter has a mental illness which sucks

I need help everyone. My thoughts have been getting worse… I haven’t used my ERP because it feels too scary and too real and so I am caught in this spiral of doing compulsions with every other thought that I have. I have thoughts about that bad guy that are so horrible and then I think that the bad guy is talking to me so I do compulsions and desperately want GOD to believe me when I say I don’t mean the thoughts, but then it creates doubt about whether or not I actually do mean the thoughts. And now I am afraid of my own thoughts This makes me want to fix ALL of the thoughts and feelings that I have to prove even more to myself and to GOD that I don’t mean these thoughts. On top of all of this, I am trying to convince myself that it’s OCD and not me at all. Does anyone have this and can anyone help? I am so tired and scared and burnt out…
