ERP is the only way to help OCD of every form. I don’t have this theme, but from what I’ve read, exposures would be imagine yourself doing something against your religion and then the therapist would help you manage that stress.

I sent that too soon, but just know all things related to OCD feel real. For everyone who has it. That’s why the anxiety is so extreme.

@Anyonomous It all does unfortunately. You shouldn’t work with a therapist to set up the correct ERP for you

Yeah this comment is kind of worrying me more. My desire is to follow God not man. I am just so afraid I will change my mind or that I will not care anymore one day 😔

@Anyonomous Well all you can say to those thoughts is “maybe”. OCD doesn’t like uncertainty and that’s what you have to sit with in order to beat it into submission. Besides no one is perfect we all sin evey day.

@angelbliss LOL you know nothing about mine or anyone else’s beliefs so please stop preaching and also stop blowing up this thread where the OG poster already said it made them uncomfortable. Read. The. Room. You are not a perfect human so get off your high horse. There was one perfect human. One. Everyone sins even you. Stop harping on the OG poster.

@angelbliss You're making me extremely anxious. I didn't say I want to follow the world. I said I WANT to follow God. To the point where it makes me so anxious that I will stop following God. My desire is to follow Gods will and not my flesh thats why these intrusive thoughts make me so anxious

@Anyonomous Just like someone with harm OCD has thoughts of harming people and fears they will harm people. They don't want to harm people at all! Just like I don't want to sin at all. But now i am second guessing myself all over again because of what you are saying. Do you know how religious ocd works??

@Anyonomous Pls ignore this person. Follow your ERP and keep kicking butt 💪 tell those thoughts exactly what we talked about. Maybe. Eventually they will leave you alone and you will see that you are doing the best you can as an imperfect person in an imperfect world.

@Anonymous Thank you ❤ I just hate feeling like maybe these are real thoughts and maybe I do want to go crazy. I hate it so much :(

@Anyonomous You don’t. It’s 100% ocd. We all have a rational side and realize our thoughts aren’t true but ocd can’t be reasoned with so you end up feeling crazy. But even if you end up messing up and sinning it’s just a great thing to learn from. We all learn the most from something we’ve failed at.

@angelbliss Are you familiar with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder? I was not trying to be rude to you or to anyone. I just was trying to explain that these thoughts are intrusive and against what I really want

NEED SERIOUS HELP!!
I really really need help. Please. So, lately, I've started to notice that I may or may not have a bi side. I'm a girl, and I'm a Christian. I love Jesus and I don't want to do anything that's against his laws so I can't be a bi. I just can't. But lately, I've started to notice that when I see, like, a really beautiful lady, I feel some sort of attraction and tightness in my chest. I can't deny the tug I feel whenever I see a beautiful lady and I don't want it. I don't read or watch anything related to lesbianism and I can't deny that I find gay couples cute but being a lesbian has always been a no for me. It's been getting worse lately and last night I had a dream. So, there's this live TV show that's going on in my country and I had a dream about one of the contestants. Mind you, I have no interest at allll in this contestant. I barely see her on screen and I don't even like fee any connection for her whatsoever. But in the dream I had, she was offering herself to me to y'know, do some stuff and what happened to my body is what is still shocking me. I HAD NEVER FELT SO AROUSED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I still can't explain it. I don't know what happened or what's happening to me but I need help. Like serious help. I don't know what's wrong with me but I just can't be bi. I don't want to. I feel like with each day that passes, I start to discover new, scary sides of me and my OCDs aren't even helping matters. Please, any advice at this point would do. I can't tell my mom or even my youth pastor cuz I'm too scared that they'll start to see me differently and start judging me.

Religious ocd
Hi guys! Kind of panicking right now. My mind has gotten so dark and my thoughts have gotten evil and terrifying I’m so scared. And I feel Like I’m at the point where I’m convincing myself they’re real. Like I’m terrified of acting on it or that I’m choosing these thoughts. I’ll tell you guys what thoughts they are. These horrible terrifying awful thoughts of not wanting others saved. Like thoughts like I don’t want others to know Jesus. Especially this one specific thought about this girl. It’s TERRIFYING because this one specific thought that is in my mind all the time is attached to real feelings I have for this guy. And this girl is a Christian and she’s so pretty and I started having thoughts that I don’t want her saved or to know Jesus so that this guy who is a really strong believer that I like won’t like her. PLEASE I NEED TO KNOW THIS ISNT ME YOU GUYS. I just need to know this thought IS NOT ME. And then it gets so bad to where I wake up in the morning and it feels like I’m accepting these thoughts. Like I want these thoughts. Or like I’m choosing them. I’m so deeply terrified I don’t know what to do. I just need to know they’re not me, that my heart is aligned with Gods heart. That I want EVERYONE SAVED
