I don’t have the same exact ocd your describing but mine centers around religion particularly christianity where my mind comes up with questions that I don’t have immediate answers about christianity or Bible verses or Christian articles and the thoughts are all day long

I'm sorry to hear that, I know about worrisome thoughts. I struggle with religion and obsessive thoughts, always believing I'm never going to redeem myself. It's such a viscous cycle.

I am sorry that you are having a difficult time. I do want to tell you that providing reassurance is not helpful and in fact is harmful to recovery. I will say this about God - God knows the difference between OCD and you. It is your decision whether to trust that or not. It is hard work. I would encourage you to seek ERP therapy as it is the gold standard treatment for ocd. We all have to live with uncertainty and that is hard to do with OCD.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I always try and keep that forefront in my thoughts...that God knows my true self and my thoughts are well, just thoughts. As far as reassurance, I was just posting to share my thoughts and get some feedback in knowing that I am not alone in this daily struggle. I've never heard of ERP and I'm going to do some research on it. I'm always willing to try anything as I currently feel I've exhausted all efforts.
