Remember God is Love. Our body-brain, I believe reacts in healing to love. So if we get too much into judgment like a panic against something- our minds also react. We are meant to be balanced. So I’m working on not giving into fear really. But more faith. Being more aware of when I’m having thoughts of fear. It works as an enemy. We have to forgive ourselves. & then we are a bit released. Try forgiving those thoughts gently. Self love. Not like a strong repentance- there is times for that w/god .. but try forgiving perfection... which is us trying to be God.
Wow that’s really tough. I relate . But my experience s not with religion.. God is amazing though. So I know he will not let you down... the thing that has helped me through this has been God. Anonymous the thing about ocd is it doubts what yr true value is. So if you say I want to live for Jesus & yr mind says u don’t. And that is distressing- then it means God is very valuable to you. It’s like someone who knows what’s important to you that keeps poking at u because it knows this is important. I tried looking into childhood foundation it helped to understand inner uncertainty too..
That makes a lot of sense. I keep trying to just remind myself that Jesus understands and that has helped a lot
Yep, god bless.. Thoughts & the brain are some thing else. That is good to remind yrself that Jesus understands- sometimes I think ocd has a lot to do with Love. The more u are patient & forgive. The better we are. Even science backs this up.
My theme literally started BECAUSE it was SO contrary to what’s right. Yes I’m a Christian.
I suffer from that also
It’s not going to happen- the definition of ocd is going against yr values. But remember those are yr values. So it is just a lie that u will. It is a disease of the brain - the brain gets used to being shocked. Tell yrself the opposite that it will be fine if that happens & see if yr brain doesn’t stop scaring you. just remember God has given us a sound mind not a spirit of Fear. God bless
Your self talk low and gentle it’s alright/ this isn’t real, just mechanical thoughts & feelings clearing...
I’m alright god loves me. I respect myself
I forgot to reply to this thread the other day but I'm really struggling with this rn. If anyone wants to talk about it, I would love too ❤
My huddle rn. I’m struggling with this also
@Overcomer It's so hard. I just want to live my life for Jesus but my mind says I don't 🙁 it freaks me out :(
@Anyonomous I also was on fire for Jesus before this whole ocd thing. Idk what’s going on. The mind a battle field but keep moving forward with the faith given to us. May God helps us.
@Overcomer Also how do you keep hope alive in this.
@Overcomer Idk I just try to remember that my hope is ultimately in Jesus even if my OCD tries to convince me i don't believe that. Also try to remember that Jesus understands. He understands OCD.
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.
Hey I feel like I just have this evil like whirring feeling of anxiety and like “something bad is gonna happen” and feeling you’re going to do things against God or like you already have I guess?
Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?
