• 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.

Does reading something in your head count a sin?

Definitely seek out a doctor and try and see if you are suffering from ocd first. Dont try and "go it alone".

Regarding your thoughts, remember God knows your heart! He knows your soul. He knows that you love Him and believe in Him.

Trust in Jesus...

Also this happened to me four days ago when I was m. The HS popped up because I saw that image I had in my head two days ago. I stopped myself and left the site. And did not think about the thought and kept my mind blank and continued to another site. I know I seem to be repeating the same thing. But i never meant to have the thought popped in my head I wanted to test my self to see if I can resisted and prevent the intrusive thought from appearing. I just feel like and worry it was blasphemy. And I prayed yesterday to God and Jesus to forgive me. Did I commit a sin

That must be scary to have had these OCD thoughts come on suddenly. Have you googled "scrupulosity" which might be it? I agree with Lost4words, it's a good idea to see your doctor.

People who fear they've blasphemed the Holy Ghost - haven't.

Hey @Tytoman be careful, OCD feeds off reassurance. Those groups I mentioned are very helpful too. This forum you get all kinds of people commenting on your post trying to be helpful but what they say may make you spiral further. I've been in your shoes and I really wished I listened to people trying to help sooner instead getting a quick fix. I know this is hard because of the theme. You can do it.

Can you get therapy for your OCD?

I see. What are your strategies for self treatment?
I am trying to ignore the intrusive thoughts and seek reassurance. But I worry that I might say something in my head without control even when I am trying to recoil it.
