    Going off all my meds!

    Good luck and God Bless! I've never been on meds by personal choice, and I admit it is very hard, but for me it's worth it. I'll be praying for you!

    Long, stupid, involved OCD worry (need to vent)

    I'm praying for you. I don't have issues with vows, but I do suffer from this kind of deep analysis of my thoughts, intentions, and interactions with people...Always trying to accurately remember what I said and did and thought in order hyper analyze what repercussions there will be to what I...

    Need advice

    I know what you mean about having no accomplishments. I have a college degree (somehow I made it through that), but I don't work. I've had ocd since childhood/early adolescence. I haven't worked since my early twenties, and even those jobs were near minimum wage...not even using my degree. I...

    Help!

    I'm certainly not discouraging anyone from taking meds, but I don't and I don't want to. There is no pill that will help me. OCD is so entrenched in my personality and in everything I do, I don't even know what is me and what is ocd. I've suffered with this condition since childhood, and...

    A Question

    I'm always irritable because of OCD, but I do have horrible anger issues as well. I just get to a point where I feel completely out of control and I lash out in anger at my husband. Fight or flight response takes control and I can't stop it until I'm reassured and comforted excessively...

    need some advice

    All I can say is don't ever give up! I was in an intense struggle like this for a full year. I felt all the things that you mentioned. I could barely pray and couldn't read scripture. I was in torture. I felt that there was absolutely no way that I could ever know that I was saved. The...

    Does God hold me accountable for my OCD thoughts?

    I don't have an answer for that! Often times I wonder if my ocd is real or if my diagnosis is legitimate. Maybe I'm just the most selfish person in the world and "ocd" is just the world's way of giving a new name to sin. But, when I'm thinking straight, I know I have ocd and I know that I...

    What if? What if? What if? all day long!

    I know I need lots of reassurance. I'm constantly asking my husband if he understood what I said, if so and so understood me, is he mad at me, is so and so mad at me, does he want to spend time with me etc.... I also think of what ifs all day long. What if: I'm not clean, my dog's not clean...

    What are your thoughts on 'contamination'?

    I can't really say anything better than what gracealone said. I struggle with contamination all day long. For me it's usually the dirt and germs type, but I know what you're talking about.

    Doing the right thing

    All I can say is that I know what you're talking about drummingman. I'm struggling with this very issue right now myself. At this time, I virtually have no ability to ignore my ocd. I'm just starting to recognize it. Since I was a child I've been plagued with believing everything I do is...

    cant take it anymore

    I've doubted my salvation since I was a young girl. It always troubled me on and off, but for the last several months I was in torment just like you are now. I was asking myself questions like how do I know I believe, how do I know I believe enough, what does it mean to have a relationship...

    If you have ever doubted your salvation...

    Hi! I wanted to thank you so much for posting your recommendation to visit this website. I checked it out last week and have listened to most of the messages on the site. I praise God that He used you and Richard to finally free me from the state of confusion and unbelief that I was in. I...
