Thank you all for your prayers.

I got saved back in 2014. I came from a Jehovah's Witnesses' background (I never ever officially became one, but I had relatives like my grandmother who told me that was "The Truth". I did my own research because so many doctrines of theirs caused a great deal of anxiety and they didn't make of...

OCD, regardless of what type of obsessions you maybe be dealing with, isn't a sin. God knows our hearts and for people suffering from intrusive thoughts, he knows these thoughts aren't desires. God is full of compassion and mercy. Here are some articles. Struggling with OCD and “Sinful...

It's just OCD. The theme HOCD (or Sexual Orientation OCD because even gay can be afraid of being straight) has nothing to with being gay. It's intrusive thoughts. Thoughts that are unwanted and cause a great deal of distress, ruminating, and reassurance seeking. These thoughts are not...

Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, involuntary, & irrational thoughts that pop into your head and cause distress. A lot of times the type of intrusive thought that pops into a person' head are things they consider abhorrent or scary what if thoughts. It's a part of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder...

Please pray for me, I just feel really scared right now. Struggling with anxiety and I can't stop crying. I don't think I'll be getting any sleep tonight. I've been dealing with some awful intrusive thoughts and I keep praying to God to let the things I fear be lies. I don't want to deal with...

I'm having the hardest time accomplishing things. Sometimes I'll sit in front of the computer and when I try to do something productive I end up feeling completely immobilized. It' s a struggle to even force myself to do simple tasks. I'm also having a real hard time making decisions...

I don't have any tea bags, but I've looked up natural remedies. I've done the apple cider vinegar a couple of times. I've swished warm salt water around my mouth, and it helped some. Wisdom tooth extractions are $300 (my dentist is not going to save this tooth). But even with insurance, I would...

I have a really bad toothache (top left wisdom tooth). I don't know when I'll be able to get to this dentist. I hate taking risks with my health, but I really don't have the money. I've brushed the tooth, I've taken ibuprofen, and I even dipped some paper towel in apple cider vinegar and placed...

Yep. It is awful but I've been making habit of muttering God's word under my breath throughout the day. My go to verses are 2 Timothy 1:7 and Psalm 34:4-5. I still feel kind of sad though. Not having much anxiety about the intrusive thoughts can be a trigger too because you can fall into, 'If...

It's been a little over two months since that awful appointment where I got diagnosed with OCD, I'm still experiencing intrusive thoughts but with less anxiety though (it's called a backdoor spike). I still feel stuck in some ways and I haven't the slightest idea of what kind of therapist I...

Thanks again you guys for your kind words and advice. God Bless.

I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder last April. Then back in February, I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Depression. I hope this hasn't come across as me depicting my mother as some sort of awful person because she's not. I know she's under a lot of stress...

Thanks for the advice guys. I feel a lot better than I did when I wrote this earlier. I'm going to keep praying about work and I'm going to start asking God to teach me through the Holy Spirit. I know I have low self esteem and I lack confidence in God and it's important to cling to his word...
