• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have religious OCD. I do love God and want to become more religious as I never was very religious but this has made me want to believe in God more but I am so scared he hates me. I was brought up to believe in God. I just have constant fear in me. Today my OCD has been the worst ever. I got a thought about dying on a day soon when I have a special occasion, my mind then thought hope God gets the worst illness if this happens. (Can't even type the illness I said) I then thought about it and thought, if God does do that to me then he deserves to get the worst illness as punishment for doing that to me. This part came from my own will but obviously it has been inflicted from the OCD thought which I originally had. But obviously now I am starting to think I am really evil for saying this as how can you wish illnesses on God but just like if you knew a random person was going to kill you, you would hate them and would want the worst to happen to them,well that is how I am feeling now towards god in a way and because of this I believe God will kill me. I don't know if this is part of the OCD or if I am naturally evil. I don't want to become a non believer. What do I do? Am I evil to say these things? I do love God, I have become so depressed because of this.

Hi Chrissy

You are not evil. An evil person does not care about God or anyone at all but you do. An evil person would not even be on this site asking for prayer and help. The thoughts you are having are OCD. You have not sinned. Praying for you. I know it's hard try and keep calm and when these thoughts hit say this is just OCD I have not sinned.

She's right. An uncaring,black hearten individual wouldn't care about God or love Him the fact that you do and are concerned means you do indeed care about Him.

That's what OCD does. It causes doubt,confusion and other nasty stuff.
