I’m there with you. One of the hardest things with OCD is wanting to try and figure it all out and as Christians we can go back and forth between is this spiritual or is this physical? I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s both. I understand feeling like your going crazy. You aren’t. It’s just hard. Keep believing that God is for you and works all things out for the good of those who love Him. I know that it’s so hard to believe some of these things when your mind feels convinced that something is terribly wrong. But I sometimes cling to a quote by Martin Luther (who also had OCD). “Peace if possible, truth at all costs”

You’re not alone in this. I love God and Jesus very much, and I also have had some of the worst thoughts I could ever think to have because of this disorder. It doesn’t make us bad people, it makes us children of God with a disorder. He knows our heart and that we don’t mean these things, no matter how convincing our mind is. Our minds trick us into thinking we’re bad when we really truly aren’t. He will get us through this ?

You’re definitely not alone. I’ve struggled with religious ocd /scrupulously for most of my Christian walk. But just as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9, God’s grace is sufficient for us and our challenges with OCD. He still smiles when He thinks of us and loves us just the same. I’ve written about it on my blog :)

Hi, also Christian here! You’re not alone at all and God loves you more than anything! He can tell the difference between your beliefs and intrusive thoughts. I’m actually struggling with a compulsion right now where I need to screen shot anything with Their names in it (right now it’s the name Christian because I keep thinking a bad thought every time I screen shot it) but I know recovery is possible and screen shotting their names doesn’t change the fact that I thought these things. What we need to do is ask for forgiveness and move on as hard as that sounds! But anything is possible with Them!

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.

Hey guys- I don’t know if any of you with religion/spirituality ocd struggle with the “unacceptable thoughts” about like evil and stuff but I’m struggling.. it feels like I believe that I want the evil stuff because I had demon-like voices in my head as ahead where I went to talk to God when I was experiencing great distress and then these evil thoughts came in and I let them in and like “ok-ed” evil stuff. Especially because I felt so forced into my faith journey as a kid so it’s like that “feeling rejected -> rebellion thing) but I also know that but I also have such fond memories of feeling so close to God to leaning on Him for so many things. It’s so hard because 90% of my memories as a kid, I struggled with severe ocd and no one knew what it was or how debilitating it could be I’m trying the ERP with these thoughts but😭 have any of you gone through the same things? It’s so strong In my mind because I know there’s actual spiritual warfare so I feel like - pray for me guys
