    I dont even have hope anymore

    Hi Monique, I can very much relate to what you are experiencing. I am 53 and have had several of these kinds of anxiety producing bouts with OCD in my life. Now however, I am anxiety free and a living testimony that these disorders can be overcome. There is always hope in Jesus! Yes, I have been...

    Im not sure where to put this because im not sure what the cause of this is :(

    Sounds to me like you are having panic attacks in you sleep. It is very common in someone who is dealing with anxiety problems. Your hair falling out is also a symptom of anxiety.

    dark or bad thoughts/

    Well, if you don't want the Idea then its probably not your thought. Thats the good news. As Christians, we all have thoughts sometimes that we don't want. The enemy is always trying to distract us and pull us away from things we need to be doing in our lives and that is the only thing giving...

    OCD or Satan? Anyone?

    Well, I myself have had struggles with the same line of thinking as you. I believe OCD is real and I do take medication for it. As far as the devil is concerned... We have to remember, as born again Christians, he has no power over us, we have overcome him in Jesus Christ, he is a defeated foe...

    I want to stop thinking about my conditions

    You are correct, we are not defined by any of our problems (and we all have them). But, as Christians we are defined by the righteousness of Christ! The bible says that makes us "perfect" in the eyes of God. WOW! how about that bro.? As far as staying the way we are instead of improving, we...

    I want to stop thinking about my conditions

    But we are all different! God did not make any of us the exact same. God made each one of us the way we are for His purpose and pleasure. He loves you just exactly the way you are brother. If others don't accept you the way you are, then that says nothing about you friend. It is actually their...

    Intrusive thoughts crippling me.

    Oh yes I have had those issues with OCD. In fact one of the most common symptoms of OCD in "true" Christians is the fear of loosing their salvation. The good news is that is an impossibility because we do not only hold on to Jesus but, he holds on to us. He bought us with His own blood and He is...

    please help unsure what to do

    ILJ, I am just curious what do you believe makes a person a christian? True Christianity is not a religion but it's an intimate relationship with the only true God, that we have through believing in Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and savior. I hope you have surrendered to Jesus and accepted...

    Going crazy and need prayers

    Yes, I have experienced severe panic attacks and anxiety like that. I know it can cause you to think your going crazy!! but, you not. Nobody has ever gone crazy from anxiety, thy just fear that they are going to. Ironically, that fear can fuel our anxiety. So, just say to yourself..."well if I...

    My testimony living with OCD/Scrupulosity

    Hi Tono, I hope you are well! I know this is not the board to discuss the OSAS controversy. But it, IMO is so detrimental to us Christians with OCD as so many Christians with scrupulosity are always struggling with the "unforgivable sin" thing. Please feel free to PM me if you would like to...

    Depression over salvation

    Rubiks, I have a suspicion that there is more going on with you than just depression. I have been there myself. Questioning my salvation I mean, and it was torturous! So, I would first like to ask you one simple question; What do you believe, in your heart, it takes to be saved?

    HOw can this forum help me with this? Somebody said that this forum might help!

    Hi Vanessa, The Lord knows you mean well. But, you should learn to accept people the way they are. That, after all is the way God accepts us. He loves us in spite of our failures and sinfulness. He died on the cross to prove it. Also, acting good and not saying certain words has no affect on...

    Repentance obsessions?

    lyndseyb, blessings to you child. I would stay clear of firedragon76's suggestions. I don't mean to offend anybody here! but, Christian humanism is a contradiction to itself. You are right though... those of us who are Christians with OCD are much harder on ourselves than God is. He surly...
