I like to cling on the verse “I can do all things through Christ who stregthens me” I know even when I say this, my anxiety and thoughts are still over the places just like now. But I want to keep in mind that God’s word still remains true.

I actually bought a small notebook and wrote down a bunch of scriptures that are helping my situation and I recite them in my head everyday. I tried “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” yesterday at work and it helped!

Oh yes that’s always been a favorite of mine. Jeremiah 29:11 “for I know the plans I have for you declares the lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future” is my life motto right now!

@Where’sMySerotonin? Also in a Christian song called stars by skillet it says “if you can calm the raging sea you can calm the storm in me” and it’s also helped SO MUCH

James 1:2.. I also always think about the thorn in Paul’s side. I’ve also thought about how we could be a light and connect with non believers who have this same struggle as we do and help them. Don’t fear, but pray pray pray and ask him to help you.

This isn’t James 1:2, but that verse along with what I said has helped me a lot

@boilerup Thank you, I love that verse. ? and you’re right, I can always ask him for help! I’ve just kinda given up praying for myself, which I know I shouldn’t. I talk to God all the time and pray for others and just to chat/praise/thank Him. I just feel like when I pray about myself I never get answers. I’m sure that’s just because I’m being impatient and want answers right away. But God’s timing is better than our own! It’s hard to focus on how much God really does love me when I’m in so much emotional pain everyday.

@Where’sMySerotonin? Absolutely. And listen, I’ve had times where I’ve yelled at God and prayed to take my OCD, and then my OCD is hitting me WHILE I’m praying. It’s difficult. But don’t get discouraged. Some verses that have helped me are Philippians 4: 4-9, Romans 8:15-17, 2 Corinthians 4, and Psalm 34:18

@boilerup “Another in the fire” and “way maker” are catchy songs that I can recite over and over and over again and it’s helped me when I have my ocd thoughrs

@boilerup Thank you! Beautiful verses! Instead of getting upset at God I’m gonna try real hard to lean on Him more. He’s got us, He knows what we’re going through!

God has carried me through life with His strength and courage. He will never fail or leave me. I’m 66 and he has carried me for 54 years. He will never give up on you. Isaiah 26:3, Proverbs 3:5-6 and Philippians 4:13. God bless you.

If you can believe this I had the same feeling. Didn’t want to be married to my husband, but I knew that would not be good for me, my husband or kids. I stuck it out and worked hard with the marriage and things are much better. OCD is a lier and makes us doubt everything we think or feel. Hang in there. One thing that has helped me is not to think of the past and only of the future and I have a grateful journal. Do something nice for yourself today. You deserve it.

That’s my feeling right now and I feel so guilty for having being married to him and suffering this. I have hocd, haven’t really been diagnosed but now I’m feeling that it’s truly me and I can’t stand the thoughts. I’ve always loved my partner and now this is making it feel so difficult, I’m too afraid to seek help and have them tell me my thoughts are real. I don’t want them and sometimes they don’t bother me as much which is terrifying, I don’t want this for myself or my future.

Better now but I’m still on medication and probably will be the rest of my life but I’m ok with that. God has carried me through life and he will carry you too. Also if you can’t stand the thoughts that means it just OCD and the thoughts are not real( which is what I thought too) they are lies of OCD. OCD is a great lier and makes you doubt everything about yourself. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengeth me. Hang in there.

Is it normal that my thoughts don’t scare me as much anymore? Now it’s more the fear that I actually am questioning my true thoughts because they’re making me confused. I am seeking God and pursuing his will for me. I’m married and it feels like I’m not happy and there are things better out there when I know I only want to be married to him? It’s so distressing

I am 66 years old and had harm thoughts as a teenager. I never told anyone because I thought they would put me away. I went to therapy and keep my job. My therapist didn’t bat an eye when I told him of my harm thoughts. He would tell me they are just thoughts. They don’t mean anything. I went on medication and that helped me so much. My life is so much be

Ever wonder why you deserved this?
Anyone here believe in God? Anyone get mad at God for letting this happen to you? I was only 19 when this happened. I'm 47 now. I am not the greatest person in the world, I'm not the most moral person. But this ruined my life, stripped me of any potential I ever had. ANd it made every other emotional problem I have (borderline pd, major depression) far worse. I didn't deserve this. I've never married, never had a good job. I haven't worked since 2013. Everything gets worse. And I don't understand why it had to be me. I keep telling God "I never ever thought of murdering people until you gave me this." And while I may actually just be talking to myself, at this moment anger at God is all I have.

God
OCD is the worst! It will make you question EVERYTHING. When I was beginning to conquer OCD by realizing that God gave me a good heart and that I was going to be fine, it begin to make me question why God chose that for me? Like what if I wanted to be evil and I can’t because God chose to make me a good person. Like what kind of irrational question is that? I don’t understand why I’m stuck on questioning that. Has anyone else experienced this?
