Heyyy! So the bible talks a LOT about this and has helped me so much. There is so much scripture devoted to us regarding fear and anxiety that it's just so comforting. Jesus did die for you, whether you believe that or not, He still did that. He died so we all may live a life free of this. The bible tells us that we were not created with a spirit of fear, but one of power, love and a sound mind/self control. I repeat that to myself when my anxiety is high. True story - Jesus and my faith is the only thing that has helped me make it this far without completely just falling apart. I did NOCD therapy and my counselor was a Christian and helped me a ton too. Just remember there is always hope, healing is achievable and you WILL have a victory. You must only believe, give yourself grace and know that healing is baby steps. Hugs from Ohio!

Hello! I am pretty new to NOCD and have only been through 3 weeks of ERP so far. This will be my first time on my period while dealing with ERP and the guilt and depression are definitely amplified. You are definitely not alone in this! Posts like yours give me courage so thank you for being brave enough to share 🙂 also your profile pic is really good and your cat is adorable!!

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

Please help. I have felt so off/wrong all day. I constantly worry that the “bad guy” is going to get me. I have awful thoughts and I constantly want God to know that I don’t mean these thoughts. I am at a point in my therapy where I need to choose to use my ERP but it feels too scary. I then do compulsions, which makes the OCD worse, which makes me want to use ERP less. And the cycle goes on. I am currently sitting in my car crying because I feel so lost and exhausted. I’m not supposed to figure out my thoughts, but today I just went into a spiral of sadness and depression, thinking that I will always feel like this. When my thoughts got really bad at the end of the day, I tried to use ERP even though I was shaking and not believing my responses and I ended up feeling like I missed something and that I gave into the “bad guy.” I have no one to talk when I’m not doing therapy twice a week. I am alone and have no one to talk to when I am like this… please help

Hello everyone! Just wanted to see if I can get some encouragement, hope, and love from the community tonight. I have been having racing thoughts and for years I thought the loudest most repetitive one's were just GAD or denial. OCD is scary and I am trying to get back into my hobbies. I am just exhausted and sad.
