Hi, please read everything with attention, it's important to understand my situation and I need help. I have OCD and many intrusive thoughts during the day and there is one thing about them that I don't know if it's OCD/intrusive thoughts or God talking to me on my conscience.
Unfortunately everyone sins, during the day sometimes I'm a bit arrogant and gives "bad answers" with a bit of anger to some people. Even though sometimes I think it's my OCD putting too much importance and making me worry SO MUCH for something I said that was actually NOT arrogant, sometimes I really make mistakes.
So I constantly keep questioning myself if I sinned or not, many many times. And for every single time I am arrogant, even the smallest ones without any intention, even without the "victim" not even caring or realizing I gave a bad answer to him and just continuing the conversation normally, in all this situations, there is always something inside my mind saying to me "go to your room and ask God for forgiveness" and I don't know if it is God in my conscience or if it is my OCD bothering me.
That happens MANY times during the day, even when I have a simple thought that is not arrogant at all, I go and ask God for forgiveness because "better safe than sorry". Anyway, during only one day I usually end up asking for forgiveness more than 10 times, somedays this number go up to 20 easily.
So I have 2 questions.
1- Do I need to ask for forgiveness every single time that I make or "think" that I make a mistake? Or can I ask for forgiveness only one time for all the things I did wrong during that day in a prayer at night before I sleep?
2- Is it the OCD bothering me or God telling me in my conscience that I sinned and need to ask for forgiveness? Because sometimes I don't think I did anything wrong and just said something normal but I end up asking God for forgiveness just because "better safe than sorry"... is it wrong?
