I’ve been there before. I had those feelings of not wanting to be here. You’re not alone. We have to have faith in Jesus. We have to look to Him for our strength because we know we are far too weak. I know it’s a challenging road but remember you’re not on it alone. I felt so lonely and helpless so many days and nights, but now I understand I’m never alone. I have plenty of people with me and most importantly Jesus is with me.

It definitely is OCD if you’re obsessing over it and doing compulsions 👍 If God is perfect- he knows his intentions behind his creations. If God doesn’t make mistakes like people say, then that means God’s creation of OCD wasn’t a mistake either. Why did he allow OCD? No clue. I don’t know why we were created to suffer… but my point is that God of all people should be understanding of how OCD and intrusive thoughts work and that they’re not our fault. They come to us automatically since that’s how he made us be born. I totally understand where your pain comes from, but it doesn’t make sense for us to blame ourselves for how God made us. That was his design, not ours. I’m sure lots of us wish we could re-create our lives, whether we can could our looks, our mental health, our physical health, our family, what country we were born in, etc. But a lot of that is out of our control. That is God’s planning. All we can do is work on our self-compassion and ERP, which will bring us in another direction towards a better life

Hey. i have the exact same thing you do. intrusive thoughts about God and Jesus. We love them and thats why the thoughts get to them. i know im not helpful but i do know we can get over this with their love and guidance. its a hard journey but i know that their love will triumph all.

This is very typical for us with OCD. I've had thousands of conversations with myself just like what you described, especially at night as I'm going to sleep.... God loves you unconditionally. I know we're not supposed to research as a compulsion, but do a little research on "unconditionally". Yep, God loves you unconditionally. :-)

I really want to die The only thing that keeps me here are my children I can't do that to them... But the torture is unreal... My quality of life is destroyed ritual after ritual after ritual. It's like I have two minds. I want to be normal but the other side of my mind says no! I will not let you be freaking normal You will obey my command and do your rituals everyday out of fear! I can't take it anymore I really just want to die! I pray to God everyday but there hasn't been any answers from him. I'm a devout Christian and a Jesus follower. Where is my Savior? Why does God and Jesus keep on letting us live this way through torture? I feel like I'm a blasphemer for saying that, I'm done I need help! Like we all do!

i feel depressed. i’m so tired of living with constant guilt, fear, and pain. i feel so lost and lifeless. i feel like i’m not living for myself anymore. i'm so done with my life. i really hate myself. it’s all my fault. everything that goes wrong and everything that keeps happening to me is all my fault. i feel sorry for the people who have me in their lives. they don’t deserve someone like me. this world doesn’t deserve a person like me. i can’t do this anymore. every night, i keep crying. i just don’t want to wake up the next morning, yet i keep waking up. for me, another day is another suffering. i hate myself so much. i don’t deserve anything good. i hate my really bad and dark thoughts, and i can’t tell whether they are truly mine or not. the guilt is eating me alive, and i feel hopeless and undeserving of forgiveness. my family doesn’t know about my struggles, and i don’t want them to. i don’t want to be a burden or make them feel like they failed as parents. i don’t want to make their lives any harder. i just hate my religious ocd. sometimes i think i’m just making it an excuse. i feel sorry for God and Jesus for being this kind of person. i wish i wasn’t born into this world. i can’t continue living like this. i feel like i’m going insane. i’m just accepting that i’m horrible, and that all those bad thoughts are mine. that i'm disrespectful and a terrible person. i'm not suicidal. i’m just so tired of living like this. i'm not expecting happiness or anything good because i don’t deserve any of it. i feel like a disgusting person. i hate that someone like me still has the courage to show up every day around other people. i deserve all the pain and to drown in it. i just want to vent about what i really feel right now because it feels so heavy and unbearable. i don’t want to make others’ lives miserable or hurt God anymore.
