    moral compulsions

    Does anyone else find that your OCD/Scrupulosity often creates moral compulsions in which you feel that you must take some immediate moral action in response to a particular situation? My OCD/Scrupulosity has recently flared up again and I find this happens to me constantly. In various...

    Hopeless

    It's OCD, not you. It fills your mind with so much garbage and noise, and makes it seem like it's real. Don't listen to it. Romans 8:38-39Living Bible (TLB) 38 For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can’t, and life can’t. The angels won’t, and all the powers...

    OCD returned after 11 years

    Has anyone else had the experience of having your OCD become a thing of the past for many years only to return in full force again? After being diagnosed with OCD in early 2000 and living through a couple of really rough years, my OCD more or less completely disappeared for 11 years before...

    OCD conscience

    Thank you both for the input. It helps to know others have or have had similar struggles.

    OCD conscience

    Does anyone else experience their OCD as a constant voice telling you to do or not to do certain things? After being mostly healthy for years, my OCD reemerged in full force a couple of years ago and this has been one aspect of it that was never there before, or at least not there with this...

    God, music, and OCD

    Thanks for the reply. I have talked to a couple people about it. I'm still wrestling through the issue and trying to come to a place of peace.

    God's demands and music

    Thanks for the replies. I think for me the issue has been in terms of Hebrews 12:1, which came to mind a week ago when my current round of struggles began. It isn't necessarily sinful, but it is a "weight," that perhaps should be laid aside, especially because it consumes so much time and...

    God's demands and music

    So I tried posting this over in the OCD section but no one is responding to me over there so I thought I'd come here. Does anyone else struggle with feeling like God demands you give things up? I've struggled with this most of my life, especially when it comes to my music (even Christian music,)...

    God's demands

    Does anyone else struggle with feeling like God demands you give things up? I've struggled with this most of my life, especially when it comes to my music (even Christian music,) feeling like I love it too much and God is demanding that I give it up. Not just put it aside for awhile, but totally...

    God, music, and OCD

    Does anyone ever find themselves getting obsesseive about whether God is asking you to do something? In this case it's about deleting all or part of my music collection? Three times in my life I have gotten rid of most or all of my music collection because I felt it's what God wanted me to do...

    scrupulosity

    I understand that frustration and pain, but want to encourage you not to give up. Tell God your fears and struggles. Ask him for help. Remember, you have an illness. While your Christian beliefs may provide the content for your OCD/scrupulosity they are not the cause of it.

    Could really do with some prayer

    Prayed for you this morning. Hope your day has gotten better. I too could use prayer as I am facing some major decisions in the coming months that tie directly into my OCD.

    Question?

    Yes, it is also my experience that it can. For me, this has happened twice. It's like one day, no matter how tough your life may seem at the moment or how much darkness, stress, anger, etc. you are dealing with, you still feel like the self you recognize. Then the OCD hits and it's as if...

    Struggling

    I'm awake in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep. I've been laying here wrestling with my OCD. My current obsession is about repentance and about whether or not I have a genuine desire to repent from my sins, especially lust. I keep finding myself tempted to think lustful thoughts...
