OCD has a way of attacking the things you love and value the most, more than likely, you feel this way because you love God and very much aren’t a p, you’re just really scared you are one and the fear of losing a connection with God, so your OCD is most likely using this as fuel and attacking you with it. I hope you find peace soon, I’ve seen you post a lot recently, and I’m really rooting for you, please seek a therapist if you can or try practicing ERP, wishing the best for you!

Yeah that makes sense. I know, I’ve posted a lot I really need to work on that just really hurting because of some things that have happened. I have a therapist and I’m currently working on ERP but it’s been rough work. I appreciate your help thank you!

@Just Breathe ❤️ Just trust the process, I know it’s difficult. I have real event OCD, mainly things I did when I was 13/14 and stuff after that really bothers me, gross tuff too. I’ve done a lot of bad and questionable stuff since then, I’ve confessed it all to my mom, friends and other support groups, they all say I’m not a monster and that I was just a hormonal kid. I have things in my past that really scare me, yours just seems to be intrusive thoughts and fears, if people tell me I’m not a monster and that I can move forward, I’m sure everyone would most definitely say that to you, I hope you take care, I can tell my your posts how caring and a good person you must be, please remember that, I hope the best for you!

@OCDHaver I totally get it. I’ve made mistakes too and it really tears me down sometimes. OCD loves to latch onto the past. I know from experience unfortunately I’ve dealt with real event ocd too. Thank you that means a lot. I hope the best for you as well!

Hey, trust me when I say I understand you. But here’s the encouragement: Our feelings aren’t the truth, what the Word says is the truth. God loves us intensely whether or not we feel like it. It’s not about us, it’s about who he is. God is love. When prayers feels like a compulsion and causes me anxiety, I just talk to Jesus vulnerably and honestly as if I’m talking to a therapist or a friend. Blessings✨

So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?

So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
