    lack of sleep

    It's a really horrible cycle actually. OCD causes sleeplessness and sleeplessness causes more OCD. The only way to deal with it is to deal with the OCD. And the only way to deal with OCD is to ignore the thoughts you don't want to think.

    OCD, or Mental Disorder??

    OCD is NOT demonic. This is absolute nonsense. It's a thought/emotional disorder and it's directly related to stress/anxiety. I too have had similar fears. What HAS helped me is to ignore the thoughts. The truth is that us with pure OCD have a subconscious that compulsively thinks these thoughts...

    I don't knwo anymore...

    That's right. It's ok you don't FEEL anything. Remember your feelings aren't the truth. Jesus is the truth and He does love you. You wouldn't believe in Him if He wasn't with you.

    Its all so complicated!

    Dude. Me and you are like THIS: -> <- Just relax bro. You have faith Christ died for you? You're saved. Just relax and get to know Jesus (who He really is--> in the Bible). Quit trying to obey the law. Christ fulfilled it FOR YOU. Just be YOU. God made you the way you are. He doesn't expect you...

    Scrupulousity & false condemnation!

    Yes. I would say try not to focus so much on your sin. Just be humble before God when you confess, and then forget it. I have a problem too where I totally beat myself up for things I have done in the past and things I think, etc. Along with that I have intrusive violent thoughts and stuff and...

    Nobody is perfect. God already knows everything you are going to do in your life. Every thought, every sin, everything. And He still died on the cross for you. So I think it's safe to say He loves you.

    Addiction to masturbation.

    Ya exactly. Desire is God given. Actions with that desire not God-given are sin. Stop doing it and trust Christ. Don't ask Him to take it, GIVE IT TO HIM and trust.

    I want my boyfriend and I to stop our sexual sin, "again".

    Why don't you get married? 3 years seems long enough to me, why wait 6?

    Start over then. Confess your sins to God and believe He forgives you. He says He does.

    Guilt trip extraordinaire (might spike you, please be careful)

    Exactly! Do you think we glorify God by being worried and trying to be 'slaves' for Him? He created us to enjoy the life He provided. He doesn't want us to break His will because it's for our best, so we have to learn to trust Him!

    My discovery regarding the "Unpardonable Sin"

    I was worried I committed apostasy because I definitely fell away from the practicing Christian life into sin, and I even rebelliously sinned in some ways, but I always knew Jesus was the Christ and always believed it with my heart and I always felt bad about my lifestyle and wished I could live...

    I don't knwo anymore...

    Just give the fears up to God and trust Him. I know you are afraid and sometimes I am afraid of God as well. I mean not even afraid, but terrified. But you have to believe God concerning Jesus and that you are clothed in His righteousness and He will never let you go. As well as being holy and...
