Have you and your OCD ever “realized” something even though it made you nervous and anxious and you feared it meant that even though it wasn’t true. It’s kinda hard and weird to explain. Like you “realize” something in the moment but you know it’s not true but you start to believe it to be true and it gives you agita, even though it isn’t true
Hi! Would you be able to give an example, only if you want to share? Thanks!
@Hello777 Sure, like if you knew what something meant all the time but then you get a thought about it afterward and you think you misunderstood or misinterpreted it and it causes anxiety and depression even though you feel you didn’t at all. It’s kinda hard to explain to be honest with you
@anthonycaronna Oh yes! I’m a Christian and in the Bible, I think this would be like the devil planting seeds of doubt in your mind!
@Hello777 I hope you don’t mind me sharing that, but in my faith it says that reading God’s Word can help get rid of those seeds of doubt. On a side note, it sounds like a form of anxiety.
@Hello777 No it’s ok I’m a Christian too and your feedback definitely helps! This just happens to me all the time and I asked Jesus to show me the truth about 24 hours prior because I’m dealing with false memories and then bam I get that thing and it’s causing anxiety and anger
@anthonycaronna Okay! I’m wondering if it’s a false spirit trying to attack your mind. Do you mind if I pray for you? Do you have a Church community where you can ask a trusted authority to pray with you and over you too?
@anthonycaronna Also, I was just listening to this sermon right now. I listen to both Catholic and Protestant messages. But I think that this might help you? Speak to you right now? https://youtu.be/u5g3RYz30ic?is=zyhNiqpQtjeffSo0
@Hello777 Sure I would love that and you can if you want to! I’m Catholic and sometimes I speak to my family about what’s going on and they tell me that it’s not God and just me
@anthonycaronna Hi! What do they mean it’s not God and just you? If you want to share! I’m not sure if you saw the link above that I sent! Because I sent a second message within my first message! That is a Protestant message, but I can also send you a Catholic priest who casts out demons! He seems to be an amazing person too!
@Hello777 I saw the link and when I get home I’m gonna watch it! When they say that it’s not God it meant by my thoughts and voices that come all the time even during prayer
@anthonycaronna Okay! No rush at all! I was just googling about “false realizations” and I asked if they could be related to trauma. (I don’t know if you have been in some really stressful situation or not recently). But the Google summary said: “Trauma primes the nervous system to believe that danger is always just around the corner. When a thought spikes your anxiety, your trauma-trained brain accepts it as an absolute fact, resulting in the overwhelming "false realizations.” I just wanted to give another possible explanation too!
