Its just politics and stuff. I keep having doubts and feel like I don't know who I want to vote for. I just don't feel like I knkw anything anymore. I honestly don't even have anything to look forward to. Life is miserable. I feel like I have to find out why I want to vote for someone and I dont know and I cant understand.

Don't worry, this seems so so important and you MUST know FOR SURE. But actually, it's okay if you're not sure! It doesn't say anything about your character or person

Thank you so much for praying for me! That means so much to me! It scared me the other day bc I saw a post about Christians being brainwashed and felt I had to know we weren't. I believe it but what if I'm wrong, what if I'm brainwashed. Ugh. It makes it hard to try to do good things for God when I feel like a fraud and when I try to do something good (like may be buying my sister something to be kind) I get thoughts that God is angry and trying to oppress me and that I shouldn't do good things and its probably ocd but I could see evidence of that in the bible even I guess in a way. I don't know how to find out the truth.

@anyonymous Yes I really have been praying for you and I will continue to. Oww I'm so sorry you're going through a tough time. I honestly understand and I even have someone close to me who has many of the same distressing thoughts as what you have described. Even me myself, I do too. It's so alarming and distressing 😔😔.. Without going into each of the themes, because I feel like anything I say wouldn't stop the doubt from circling round and round. Unfortunately OCD's breeding ground is doubt. And we find it so hard to sit with any sort of doubt. But with therapy and ERP, we learn to sit with this uncomfortable doubt. For example, me - I think I might have not fully thanked God enough in my prayers, so I thank him more and more and more, and I'm upset, but I feel like God is angry at me so I feel like I still have to do it so I don't want to offend Him. Eventually, through exposures I will have to not keeping thanking him more and more, and sit with a reasonably amount of discomfort about the doubt. There is a zoom call for support of scrupolosity, would you like me to pass it onto you? They have the recorded zoom calls on YouTube. I've only watched one and I've found it incredibly helpful!!! They really understand! Most of them are Christians who have been through years of torment from OCD too and now spend time trying to help others.

Oh also, the nocd app has trained therapists who specialise in OCD!! And I've heard only but great things but from. It says on the app that their therapy is covered by most health insurances in the US! It might be worth looking into it 😊 Also the creator of this, is a Christian I'm pretty sure. And he went through very hard times with the ocd as a teen - 17 years old I think. Its so awesome to see how God has helped created something like this to help other people going thru a hard time

Yes! I saw that they do and contacted them! I may do their therapy in the future but I am trying to see what I have locally too to see what's the best and cheapest option!! I am thankful that this app was created too!! I feel so much less alone when using it ❤
