@pluto Yeah I wanna think it's because I've been terrified of that that things related to that subject have been manifesting a lil more. But I will never be too sure and that's what kills me. I really don't feel like continuing to think about it but even when I do distract myself it's still in the back of my mind. We all know that's how ocd is ☠

Read 2 Corinthians 12:7. Paul is talking about a “thorn in his flesh”. He had an illness, maybe mental or physical, that was hindering his ministry. However he says that “when I am weak; then I am strong”. God doesn’t want us to have OCD. But he allows “bad things” to happen for a reason. Perhaps to bring us closer to him. People with OCD, myself included, hate uncertainty and like to be in control of situations. So it’s important to remember that God is in control. When doing the ERP/SOS on this app. I have changed the messages to this: “You May have run someone over with your car. I will accept the uncertainty, move on and now God is in control” Perhaps this is a good message for you to use? It has helped me!

Remember that the evil one disguises himself as and angel of light and love to attack the mind, his favorite tool with OCDers is confusion. Remember to rebuke the devil in the name of Jesus and wait for that still small voice from God. Demons scream in our heads, God waits for your soul to hear him.

@cwgrlup1990 Definitely true. I'm constantly renewing my mind and covering it with the blood of Jesus aligning my thoughts with His.

Since you are religious, you should know that the devil can give you dreams. So the dreams could have not been Divine. Or maybe you are SO SO stressed about this that your brain created this dream.

Are you in therapy? This is a perfect situation to tackle in therapy. It sounds so exhausting to have your mind trying to figure this all out. Praying you find support in people with your beliefs or at the very least someone who can help you work through this.

@AllanC93 I agree with the Bible verse. But accepting uncertainty is really hard for me. It's like "admitting" you are something you're NOT. Just because I get distracted/forget about it for a little while doesnt mean it doesn't bother me anymore. Idk if thats one way of accepting uncertainty.

Before going to sleep in my prayer time i always rebuke any dream that's not my own nor God's that's the thing.

Sometimes things we are scared of make it into our nightmares. Ever watch a scary movie then have nightmares? Or be nervous about something and dream of it? I have harm OCD and had a dream about almost poisoning someone the other night. No matter if you really have this problem or not you are still able to make decisions that align with your values. Sounds like you have no desire to harm anyone. Try to focus on something to distract or calm you before sleeping perhaps

Youtubers are constantly getting accused of doing p*dophilic activity and its making me think my real events are as bad or as worse as them... Ive vented a lot to a lot of people in the PM's about my OCD... some of them younger (minors)... because I wanted reassurance from everyone and anyone... but this situation triggers me the most because I was venting about my 18+ HOCD situations... In an HOCD support group I was in, I vented to 2 minors in the PM's about my 18+ HOCD situations... The leader of the support group (that i vented to) was 17... I was 19 at the time... the other minor i vented to was younger (14-15)... the younger one told me she was uncomfortable when i vented to her in the PM's twice... i stopped and blocked her after she told me the second time... i kept asking the leader of the support group for reassurance for my 18+ HOCD situations for months because she kept giving me reassurance... i thought she was cute but didnt pursue her because of my age... i dont ever want to ever be a P or a MAP or a groomer in any way... I keep getting this gut feeling in my stomach that i "flirted" with the younger one that I vented to, who i blocked after she told me twice she was uncomfortable about me venting about my 18+ hocd situations... i didnt ever vent to them for malicious intent... I was trying to get reassurance for my hocd... Plus my pocd keeps saying I cant have any opinions online because of my pocd and real events ocd situations and that Im not a good person so I cant say anything online... Also i keep getting intrusive thoughts of people labelling me as a P and a MAP in the future because of these pocd real events... And i keep getting intrusive thoughts of being outcasted and "cancelled" online when someone "exposes" me for my POCD and real events OCD...

so I’ve been seeking therapy for my OCD for a few years. The theme that I’ve been dealing with most recently is the fear of becoming a pedophile, which then has led to intrusive images of me doing things to kids.Which now is just causing me so much distress and 24/7 constant thought cycle. I am starting to not be able to tell the difference between thoughts that are wanted/ unwanted- the line has become some blurry and these things are starting to feel like someothing i want to do. My brain keeps telling me to just test these thoughts and the “maybe”or”i don’t know” isn’t working. This has become such a barrier because the second layer is that I’m afraid that if I just let the thoughts be there it’ll make me be OK with doing those things and the fear is what’s keeping me from actually doing something inappropriate. It’s also transitioned into intrusive thoughts and images of me doing something very disgusting to my dog and that when I’m cuddling with him I get the thoughts to just do it or try it to see if i am actually a p*do. it’s almost like the compulsion would be to do the inappropriate thing, even though I know it’s wrong just to see how it would make me feel. I feel like i can’t control these urges even though i’ve never acted on it. At any point i could just do it. I’ve never had these thoughts before up until about a year and a half ago when my friend‘s boyfriend got arrested for soliciting a minor then all these thoughts came to life.Has anyone experienced something like this and have any advice?

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
