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

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

Lately my OCD has been very horrible, it’s been more convincing than ever to the point where I’m genuinely convinced that I like this stuff, when I get a thought, I’ll hear my intrusive thoughts go “oooh, I like that, I’d do that.” and I just don’t freak out nor feel bad, I just feel like I like it even more, and feel like I would do/act on it and like it, and the feeling is strong and it lingers forever? It genuinely feels like I do, and I’m just lying now, i can’t tell if I make these thoughts worse or anything All I remember mostly just being like confused sometimes when these thoughts happen, but since I’m getting strong emotions that I like it, my brain says that means I did and I’m worried about that being true because I don’t understand nor know It’s like I am resisting to like this stuff now, it’s even tougher now than it was before

Everyday I wake up, all my mind makes me think of is the stuff I’ve done in the past, like all day I’m in a constant cycle of judging who I used to be and it hurts so so much. I wish I never thought to do those things, I wish I had been more mature than how I was before, it’s really lowering my self worth and I don’t think I’ve ever felt this miserable before, like last summer was the worst because I was dealing with this shit, I about almost ended my life over it, and I thought it would get better, which it did, but it didn’t last but for a while. As soon as it became 2025 I was going through it again, having constant cycles of “I’m a good person” to “I’m the worst person imaginable” and I’m so sick of it because I just want to feel like the good person l like to imagine myself to be, but I can’t because of shit I did in the past that I obsess over. I’ve cried and screamed so much over it and it seems like it will never leave me.
