I struggle more with feeling like God is constantly disappointed and unhappy with me. For years, I have pictured Him with a disapproving frown, shaking His head and arms crossed saying "When is that girl going to get her act together?" I feel that no matter how much I read or pray its never enough. I know now both are part of my OCD. I love God so much. But I don't feel like He loves me back. I believe He does, but I don't feel it very often.

Yes it’s horrible. I get all these signs that I need to go street preach and then I finally step outside and then feelings go away and then it’s over. And when I lead worship songs I get super fixated on that I need to lift my hands and it drives me crazy and then maybe I will and then it feels like an empty compulsion. I can’t really think of a time that all this mess has really brought about pure fruit. Just cycles of anxiety that make it harder to actually will and do what’s right. It makes me avoid reading the Bible and gets me fixated on some particular thing that often doesn’t even work out anyways. I don’t know what’s true even as I write this. I woke up so anxious today, feeling like these feeling aren’t OCD that there actually the Holy Spirit. And I asked for a sign or two and got them, and now I’m flooded with fear and anxiety and I feel like I’m standing between heaven and hell and it’s so confusing.

I go through this and I still don’t really know how to handle it healthy but some tips are that God loves you and he doesn’t want you to go through what you’re going through. He doesn’t want to condemn you either!

Religious OCD
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

I need an opinion
So I am a practicing Catholic, and I've gotten into reading the Bible this year, praying the Rosary, things like that, and while I love to do that, my OCD has been seeming to take over, in ways such as like I have to read the Bible for a certain amount of time before I'm satisfied with the time read, or something along those lines, and it's starting to make the thought of praying and reading the Bible unenjoyable, which is really hurting me inside, because I used to and want to enjoy it so bad, but now this is making it really hard to, because it feels like I don't have control over my own thoughts, and little things trigger the thoughts, it's just so annoying. If there's anything anyone thinks I can do to combat this please let me know.

Religious OCD
Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?
