@Coul.C This sounds like it's just the OCD. Did the thing you were buying violate your conscience or were you just triggered by the video?

@keith11 Im thinking the video because the thing i was trying to get had nothing to do with religion

@Coul.C Of course I can't diagnose or reassure but this seems like the ocd to me. Either way, what is causing the distress? That you saw the video or that you still want to use the site?

@keith11 It stresses me out when people talk about their religion because then i feel like i need to make sure that i correct what they’re saying in my head with my religious beleifs? If that makes sense. So for example if someone was like im a buddhist in my head id have to say I’m a Muslim and id have to say it a certain amount of times and even the thing that i was doing (shopping) would feel wrong since i heard the person say they were a buddhist while doing it?

This is the ocd. The best thing to do is to resist the urge to repeat that in your mind. Don't ignore it, avoid it, or suppress it. Just observe it- like you have and continue on about your night

Probably. If you don't feel right about buying from that site then don't. But if it only bothers you bc you feel the need to correct things in your mind then maybe you should. Another way to fight back against the ocd is to not decide. Just leave it alone (I know that is hard) and go to bed or move on to something else. The OCD wants you to resolve this. But it won't let you resolve it no matter what you do. So maybe just be ok with not deciding for right now

It bothers me more buying from the site because i feel like im being selfish and doing something wrong against my religion (kind of in a way) so I don’t want to buy it for that reason. Its like now that i heard the youtuber say it while shopping i can never get that thing. But my ocd always wants me to make decisions so just leaving it alone is definitely something that could help me fight it as well. Idk if i were to buy it though itd be helping me fight my ocd more than me not buying it? Or would leaving it be the best choice? Idk i feel weird even wanting to buy it still and honestly feel like i formatted my questions biasedly. My head is kind of running with this.

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?

OCD or something else
I have religious OCD and the thoughts have been becoming really bad. I’ve been hitting myself punching myself screaming quietly if that makes sense pulling my hair out talking to myself nonstop. I can’t even hang out with my family without doing these things or going to another room to do these things, these thoughts of overtaking my life I will always be Christian God is most important to me and I’m so scared because these thoughts are terrible. They’re disgusting they never ending. There’s always something going on in my mind. I don’t understand. I’m scared. I’m turning into a bad person. I don’t wanna dishonor the Lord God, I don’t know if this is just OCD or something else.
