“Negative reassurance-seeking”? Is that a thing? I don’t know that reassurance is something I seek because when I worry that I’ve done something immoral I tend to get angry with people who try to tell me what I want to hear, and only listen to people who will condemn me. I’m not diagnosed with OCD (yet) but this is one of the main things I have doubts about. Reassurance doesn’t ease me nearly as much as like... repenting and confirmation that I am bad.

I’m not Christian and that’s not what I’m asking.

@Anonymous What religion are you?

Hi, I have religious ocd too. Do u think we can go on praying w/o praying for forgiveness/confession bc I did something to god and I FEEL so guilty for it. I feel like I can’t live. People kept telling me god will forgive me. But I can’t forgive myself. And I don’t want to pray anymore. I am just to lazy and I really don’t want to do it . But I feel like if I pray, guilt will gone. But thing is I have multiple things I did. I am thinking I am dead set on praying and everything will go away. And I promised him one thing that I really really want to do but I feel like I ask him to take it back before the grievances, he would find me selffjsh and I am prob thinking of that bc I don’t want to pray. I’m not christian or religious either, I am agnostic and I want just go back to my life before I had to ocd .., I was scared that god was going to be mad at me and constantly prayed

@drStrange.One.2678 Read my last comment to you below, also I see that you’re agnostic. Have you ever considered becoming a Christian? Being a Christian is not rules upon rules or God getting mad at us, it’s about God being our Father and no more condemnation for sins. We get to go to Heaven because of Jesus Christ! Let me know if you want to know more about Christianity and I’ll let you know :)

Remember that our good deeds are nothing but rags in the eyes of God, but thats a good thing! Because God does not look at us but Jesus Christ when He sees us! When you accept Christ as your Savior, God sees you as righteous because of your faith in Him. I know you feel guilty over a sin, but God took all that guilt and shame on the cross, you have no reason to carry it anymore. Don’t stop praying, neither don’t stop going to church. Don’t make promises yes, the Almighty God cannot be made deals with because He Himself gives out free gifts of greatness to us! You don’t need give anything in return when He gives us these things like grace, love, peace, and eternal life through His Son Jesus Christ. Don’t be stuck in repetitive prayers ok? Have mercy and compassion on yourself. God bless ! 💕

I also wonder that too
