You have to sit with the uncertainty that maybe it could be a sin or maybe not. There’s literally no way to know for sure so what you have to do is accept that even if it’s uncomfortable

Thank you for the help! That’s extremely uncomfortable to have to do, but if it’s what I gotta do then it’s what I gotta do. This sucks haha

@Where’sMySerotonin? It sucks so much but it gets easier with time. Good thing we are strong enough to fight it ?

I totally empathize with you! That sucks so much and I’ve had similar thoughts and feelings. I’m also a Christian and I have OCD about certain hobbies or opinions being “bad” or not what God wants. It’s so frustrating when OCD tries to take away something we love, and it sounds like you love practicing medicine. But when I do my exposures about my religious obsessions, I’m able to get past that OCD. So hang in there, keep doing your exposures! You got this and you’re not the only one going through it.

Thank you so much!! I’m sorry you also experience thoughts like this :/ I’ll pray for ya! This one is really hard for me to ignore because I want my life to reflect what God wants and sometimes we just don’t know. The Bible doesn’t specifically say if that’s a sin or not (I don’t think at least!) so it’s SUPER frustrating. Good days are ahead though! ??

Yes! Those are the worst ones... when the Bible doesn’t say whether it’s a sin. I guess as Christians with OCD, we want to know EXACTLY what to do, but that’s not really how the Bible is written, you know? It doesn’t tell you exactly what to do in every single nuances situation which can be really hard for people like us. But still, I feel like I should always just “know” what God wants me to do, and if I don’t just “know,” I must just be ignoring him. OCD is frustrating!

Exactly! I wish the Bible had a list of every single thing that was a sin so we’d know!! But that’s when prayer comes in; praying for guidance and truth

@Where’sMySerotonin? Yeah, I always think that too! Yeah, I pray about it and I try to combat the OCD by telling myself that I’ll have to be uncertain about some things while I’m here on Earth. I think God will reveal things to us once we meet him!

@Yayfortherapy I agree! I guess there’s just some things God doesn’t want us to know yet and I’ll trust Him in that
