I guess the issue is that I don't *want* to eat like this. It's not just that I can't eat cookies and cake--for a while I couldn't even eat fruit because I thought it was sin. And now I'm restricted enough again that I'm not really getting enough calories, and I'm also just kind of miserable...

Be warned before you read this: if you have scrupulosity, this might give you another thing to worry about. Last year, I went through a period where I thought it was sin to eat many types of foods that have sugar or carbs. My diet became very restricted. After I started realizing God isn't...

Have you spoken with a pastor about this? It sounds like you could benefit from spiritual counsel from a mature believer.

Hi everyone. I have OCD/scrupulosity, and I’ve been wondering if something is a legitimate idea or caused by that. I have been trying to avoid eating when I don’t feel hungry because I want to avoid gluttony or I think that I should use that money to pay off debt (student loans). Is it sin to...

There aren’t any decorations that I know of. It’s not a scary movie, either; I should’ve clarified. It’s a comedy that starts on Halloween. One of the friends going also does not celebrate Halloween.

This is what I’m concerned about, but I have religious OCD and recently it’s gotten really bad. I’m not questioning my decision to not celebrate Halloween—I don’t think that’s OCD—but whether I need to avoid this event. I can think of it two ways: 1) Would I go to dinner with my classmates at...

I need some advice on a decision I need to make soon. I don’t celebrate Halloween, but most of my friends do. Tonight they’re getting together to eat dinner and then watch a Halloween-related movie. My husband wants to join them just for dinner and then leave, but I’m not sure I’m comfortable...

Super late response here, but is there a way to PM people on this site? I'd like to ask you some more about medication if that's okay with you because I had a really awful experience with it, so I'm extremely hesitant to try it again.

Hi everyone. My counselor/pastor suggested I need to try trusting other believers to help me discern what is coming from my OCD and what is true, so I thought I'd ask here since I have a dilemma. I have to decide today, so input would be super helpful! As some background information, I really...

Thanks you both for responding. How do I know for sure these thoughts aren’t from me? I’m afraid to numb myself to them by ignoring them if they actually are mine, especially with the anger I’ve felt at God recently (Was at least in part OCD-related... I was frustrated with all the restriction...

Hi everyone. A couple weeks ago maybe, I started seriously questioning whether I’m truly saved because of some things that don’t seem to add up. In the short time since then, my religious OCD has dramatically worsened. I’m now at a point where I pretty much can’t eat. This is for two reasons...
