This is one topic where I don’t believe sitting with the uncertainty is the answer. My daughter deals with these same feelings. God knows you and your thoughts. He is all-knowing, and knows this is the ocd. Not you. You have already been forgiven. (Even though you are not in control of these thoughts, so dont need to be forgiven) But regardless, you are judged by your actions. God knows the real you. He loves you. My daughter still feels guilty, and ocd wont let her believe this let. But i hope you both find peace soon and come to realize you have already been saved. ❤️

With ERP, sitting with uncertainty is always part of the process. Until someone gets comfortable with that, they will likely be stuck in a loop trying to ‘prove’ whatever their ocd is trying to prove.

I know it’s hard but reassuring your daughter in that way can actually be harmful to her. This happened to me when I was younger. Is she going through ERP with a therapist?

Only God can decide if you go to hell nobody else. God is judge

Start praying and ask for forgiveness. That’s all you can do. Try to do some good deeds.

I’m sorry you’re stuck in that loop! I don’t have religion ocd but I do have moral ocd which seems similar and it’s so hard sometimes but it’s not your fault and you are not your thoughts. Everybody has intrusive thoughts to some extent and it doesn’t mean anything about you

I know but I just feel bad. I know that people say that if you have a hardness of heart you won't be forgiven so I'm making sure that God knows that I love him and meant nothing by it.

@Teah104 I know it’s hard but try your best to accept the uncertainty that you don’t know 100% if you are going to heaven. When you do compulsions to prove that you are going to heaven, you’re showing yourself that the guilt/discomfort of the unknown is unbearable and the only way to get rid of it is to continue doing those compulsions, which is not true! (Disclaimer I am not a therapist but have learned this from my therapist)

Ok, thank you. You surely know more than I do. It is only in this specific circumstance where I find it difficult to do that since it goes against what we have been taught our whole life about Christianity. My daughter has had ocd since the age of 12, but didn’t realize what it was until a few years after. She is now 17. She has been on medication since 13, and also sees a talk therapist regularly. But I have found it almost impossible to find an Ocd therapis in the area. There are 2, but they never returned calls. Driving further would not work for us. I stumbled upon this site a couple days ago and already have found it so helpful. We will be scheduling a free session to meet therapist next week hopefully. She. Is suffering so much 😥

I’m sorry she is going through that, that sounds really hard. As someone who had ocd growing up in a religious household, I can’t stress enough how important it is that she sees an ERP ocd therapist. And this app could be a great way to get online access to one! I hope I’m not coming across too intense, it’s clear that you care about your daughter deeply and want the best for her. I just know how beneficial and life changing this therapy can be. I hope you both find peace :)

Talk therapy is amazing for anxiety, depression, etc but unfortunately because ocd is such a specific disorder, talk therapy does not work on ocd

HELP
Does anyone else feel like they think these horrible things on there own or on purpose. I feel like I'm intentionally trying to hurt god and the holy Spirit now and idk what to do. I feel like I'm becoming my worst fear. Idk what to do I feel like I'm losing touch with myself and idk what to do. And I'm really worried God is going to turn his face from me or I'm going to do something I am going to regret. I'm not really sure whats happening to me, but I'm scared I'm going crazy.

Intrusive thoughts
Does anyone have any tips on how to move on from intrusive thoughts when you’re constantly afraid that if you ignore them God will be mad at you?

Interesting
How should I cope. I keep getting bad thoughts about the holy Spirit and I feel so bad and guilty all the time. But I definitely do not want to act on them or even mention them. Ik God loves me, but my mind keeps painting a bad picture of him. I also when I try to be concerned about my bad thoughts, my mind will retaliate and say, how can u be scared of hurting someone u don't believe in. And it is really freaking me out... It's like I'm trying to degrade God or the holy Spirit for no reason. And I think I'm hurting there feelings and I feel hopeless and depressed all the time. And I'm just worried God is angry with me or he sees me as fit for punishment or something.
