Also another thing I have this issue where I will for example give a donation to charity or something and then I’m like I could always give more and then feel bad for not doing more for God

Remember God loved you first and then you loved Him. We could never do enough to pay God back for all the love He has given us. We can’t earn His love! And to answer your reassurance or research question, if you are doing it to “clean up” “fix” or “forget” scary, bad, or dirty thoughts then yes your research is reassuring. If you just want to look something up because you want to then it may or may not be reassurance.

Remember that God wants our hearts. He also created us to enjoy His creation and to enjoy this world. It’s doesn’t have to be either or...it can be both. We are called to serve others but we are also called to love ourselves correctly. If making art helps you to relax and enjoy life, that’s great! This is always a great reminder to me: Upward - Love God completely Inward- Love myself correctly Outward - Love my neighbors compassionately.

Do you have a therapist? Or a good friend or mentor who understand your OCD issues and can help you sort through questions like these? I think one-on-one conversations with person who really know you would be good; they can help catch it when you switch from asking a question to obsessing about it.

I been going to church looking for answers about my false memories if they are even false and overall ocd. Everything that I'm learning about ocd ultimately I get told that it's due to sin and that's why I feel overwhelmed and have the urge to confess on things idk if they are real or not. I just dont know whats my truth my mind Is saying one thing but I need a lot of confirmation if what im thinking its true thats why i been seeking confirmation going to church. Would appreciate a response or if anyone is going through this 🙏

I put a trigger warning because I will be discussing themes of end of times. I feel like I'm not following God's will. God knows ultimately that things were going to speed up end of times wise. A few months ago, I had a random thought to call someone I had affected with past sin and apologize to him although I did not know he was there, my sin affected him. I know he deserves an apology, but I chalked it up to ocd and treated it as such for months fast forward to now I feel like I'm completely against God. Horrifying. It's a complex situation I caused and therefore though I know he deserves an apology I'm really scared as I created a mess of things. I've been praying that God help certain things come to fruition so I could be exposed and help minister to others if that's what He's calling me to do but no answer. Instead horrible images and thoughts and feelings of doom. I see signs to apologize everywhere. I'm at my wits end. Because I tend to get ahead of myself I asked two family members and they said don't and then I see things that say Though people in your life mean well, don't go based on what they say only what God says. I tell God to do His will and I'll follow, do you think He'll listen. I even told Him I straight up don't want to do it, not because He doesn't deserve one, but because last time I apologized to someone else I didn't do it right and it was messy. I feel so evil, like a wolf in sheep's clothing. I also remember looking up morbid things for what???? Only to be disturbed pray about it and leave by why search it up again? I also fantasized alot about guys I've been single forever, late 20s now, I'm trying to go to church and my crush is there and I try to stop thinking about him because I know it's delusional but the thoughts don't leave. I'm so tired I want to stop but stop what? Living? I want to stick to God as close as possible. I'm going crazy.

I am a Christian but keep having unwanted really bad intrusive thoughts about Go liike I am talking strange weird thoughts that make me cry they are so uncomfortable. And then I have doubts from time to time if God is real and I look up evidence that God is real and am worried God's going to be upset that I tried to look up proof of his existence. even though I do believe that he is real. Any other Christians with severe OCD out there that go through this struggle? I just don't want God to hate me or be ashamed of me.
