Honestly the problem I find with OCD is that it will try to distance you from anything that your brain thinks could help you and it will try to make u cut ties. For example my OCD never let me tell anyone that it excited because it knew if I told someone I would get help. OCD tries to keep you in a loop. My point being that if u used to have a little faith in God ur OCD is tryna destroy that to make you feel more isolated. Let yourself feel your emotions and let be angry at ur OCD.

@Bex. OCD is a long path and even though I personally am Christian I have found that my faith has genuinely helped me to heal so much better than I could imagine.

I've been there. OCD will latch on to what you care about most.

I know what you mean. I went through scary thoughts about religion and my thoughts used Bible verses to try and make me feel worse and give up on the only hope i have. I now try to believe God is here for me no matter what, even when it’s hard. Things may not always be perfect but we don’t know what Gods plan for us may be. Maybe this will bring us closer to Him and maybe this will affect us in others that are also helpful in the long run! God bless!

By that I mean, I interpreted the verses to where it made me fear which is not what the verses were meant for.

Hi there I talk about religion (but I'm not trying to force it down anyone's throat) So my main event (which is the one that truly bothers me) happened in 2015 when I was 14. I won't go into any details or anything. I will say that it got so bad once that I almost committed something detrimental to my health earlier this year. Not long after that I spoke to a doctor and basically confessed what's been happening to my brain and my mistakes, he mentioned things that really resonated with me, I'll paraphrase a bit: "Okay, so what you did was not good but it's not something to condemn yourself for. It falls into the grey area, you've apologized and have been forgiven (even though I apologized over text, which comes across cowardly)but it seems that you haven't forgiven yourself. There's a whole lot of difference between you at 14 and you at 23. Try to have some perspective." This really helped and it still does, but unfortunately ocd tries to find a way around this. I'll get a thought of "oh but you forgot to mention that other part of the event" and it magnifies it. Can anyone relate? I've done everything but fully move on because I sometimes feel like I don't deserve to move on. And I'm still worried over the future.

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?

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.
