    Had a breakthrough, so close, help me

    So something else happened that I'm really scared about. I have a thing where I intrusively ask for signs. So like I'll be going to my phone and have thoughts like I'm saying to God "if I have a text then it's a sign" maybe that some OCD is real. It's kind of an intrusive thing but sometimes I...

    Had a breakthrough, so close, help me

    I need help, please read this, even if it's a little long. So I've been dealing with many long term OCD "vows", some have persisted for years. Yesterday I had a talk with the Pastor of my church and he told me not to follow these. With this, I was able to go home and break through! Finally...

    My behavior is so confusing, I don't get it

    So I've spent over 2 years with all this anxiety about "vows". I want to not be tied to any of them, I do what I can to avoid doing them, and overall have terrible anxiety about making them. So the other day I'm driving home on the highway and there has been major construction for a long time...

    I need SERIOUS help right now! Had a major setback

    Thank you for your reply. Luckily, the unforgivable sin thing was quite a while ago, summer of 2007 I believe. What helped me was when I did some research I found out that even if you have done that, you can still go to God and accept Christ and be saved. Now the unforgivable sin thing doesn't...

    Scared to go home early

    So I'm having some new OCD that's really scaring me, at least I am wondering if it is OCD. I have a lot of trouble with "vows", I have probably made thousands of them. They affect me all day long. I am currently on a business trip that was supposed to be 3 weeks long. I want to be home...

    Having a hard time with OCD "vows" that I can't seem to get over

    I've been having a hard time these last few days with my vow based OCD. It's really getting to me, it's really impeding my life. The trouble with my current vow based OCD is that the "vows" have become much longer in duration. Instead of not doing something for a few days or weeks, I've been...

    Having bad trouble with a "vow" today, please help

    Ok, I'm having a really hard time today. My dad started this new tradition last year that every year we have an Octoberfest party and invite all kinds of people. Well that party is today (we had it before October because the weather gets bad) and if I were to not come my Dad would take it as a...

    "vowing" to sin

    Thanks for the replies! I wanted to clarify what I am worried about, looks like I didn't do too good a job of explaining it. Ok, so, when I first started having issues with vows, I would seem to make very simple vows, and of course I was worried that not doing them was a sin. An example...

    "cursing" things, having a hard time with this

    So, one of my big OCD issues right now (when I'm not freaking out about vows) is this idea that things can be "cursed". So, just recently today, I had this issue: I was worried that I had said I would worship the evil one about something, this issue typically comes up day to day. (For example...

    "vowing" to sin

    Ok, so I know we can't vow to sin, but my OCD has latched on to something else recently. Can we vow something, with the alternative to be a sin? For example: I "vow" to do something, if not then it's (insert sin).

    Need serious help, worried about "cursing" and similar stuff

    So my OCD has found a new thing to focus on. This one is really killing me. I had been struggling with the whole "vow" thing for over a year now and was just starting to get a handle on it. I still have some "vows" I'm worried about, but right now that's not the main issue that I am worrying...

    Compulsions and anger

    Do your intrusive or compulsive thoughts get worse when you are in severe emotional states? Just curious. Seems I tend to do more OCD stuff when I'm angry or upset. This leads me to believe that it is my fault, and not OCD.

    Vow making

    Do you ever wish you could have the problems of a normal person? The mental torment of this is INCREDIBLE. I get jealous when I see someone all upset over a girlfriend/boyfriend leaving or some other issue that is definitely hard, but way better than this.... I just have to vent I guess. I was...

    Some good news, and thank you

    Ok, so first of all, someone had mentioned that they would like to know how my job search was going in a recent thread of mine. As we all know it can be incredibly hard to work and get jobs with OCD. OCD is a full time job in and of itself. I am happy to tell you that I have indeed found a new...

    Another vow problem, can't tell if it's OCD

    Thanks for the reply. This one has really been shaking me bad. I've never thought that under these circumstances before so I'm having trouble figuring it out. I have no idea why I said it or why I would say it. The problem is the farther I get from the time it happened, the less I remember. My...

    Driving update

    :) When I was 15 I basically had to drive my mom everywhere. I probably had 10,000 miles on my drivers permit! She felt that she would never be able to overcome it. This was around 2004/2005 after her father died. After I turned 16 she started getting better and I remember that around 2007 she...

    Another vow problem, can't tell if it's OCD

    Also, that pushed me over the edge and I finally started Zoloft. The issue is, now I feel really funny from the Zoloft and that makes it even harder to figure out whether or not what I said was a vow. My mind feels totally different now than it did hours ago. I wish I would have taken this...

    Another vow problem, can't tell if it's OCD

    So I've been under major struggle with OCD lately. I had struggled with the vow thing hard core earlier this year and after that I started having major trouble with some old topics like the unforgivable sin, and some new ones like possession. While all this has been going on I have quit school...
