I have had the same problem since I was eleven. When I didn’t do my compulsions, someone very close to me died. I thought everything was fine when I didn’t do my compulsions but the next morning I found out the news and I was distraught. I still blame myself to this day. I saw someone that said in your mind go ‘ if I don’t do —( compulsion) my family will die in a car crash ( or something along the lines ) in one, two, three’ and then nothing happens. It’s quite reassuring I find and I think you should try it.

Gabrielle, my therapist keeps reminding me that God understands OCD. He understands what you are going through. Compulsions make us feel safe but they don't keep us safe. I think for me it is best to resist compulsions and trust God instead

You are not God and you are not that powerful. God understands your struggles. He knows your thoughts better than you do. Giving in to your compulsions brings you short term relief. Doing ERP will bring you long term relief. Every time you give into a compulsion you are strengthening the intrusive thoughts and making your OCD. It does nothing but keep you in bandage. You don't have to keep living this way. There is hope. Help isvavailanlw, but it won't come to you.

TW: suicidal Constantly fixated on the fact of helping people. I’m always doing compulsions like checking social medias to see if people need help etc, it’s exhausting cause I’m so sad I’m unable to help everyone. I just don’t know what to do and if I’m being entirely honest it’s making me not wanna be here anymore. I’m afraid that if i walk away from my phone for even 5 minutes someone will be in need and in danger and I want be there to help therefore it’s my fault etc. how can i cope with this? Obviously I want to help people but I wanna do it in different ways

I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

Hey all. I need help. I am sitting on my bathroom floor freaking out and convinced that all my work towards getting better has gone out the window. I am so scared of the “bad guy” getting me all the time. I constantly feel like I have to prove to God that I don’t mean these awful feelings and thoughts that I have about the bad guy. I’ve had trouble sleeping tonight, going in and out of consciousness, all while dealing with bad thoughts going in and out of my head. Finally I woke up and am flooded with “you have so many thoughts and feeling that you let slide while you were trying to sleep. You had thoughts that you accepted the bad guy and you didn’t dispute them before you tried to move on. You have so much to answer for.” So now I’m sitting here in my bathroom floor hysterically crying and begging God to believe me when I say I don’t any of these thoughts or feelings… please someone help
