Ok, I wasn't sure by what you meant when you said, "I am attempting a new tactic of not reassuring myself... and instead assuring myself that because of my OCD i cannot be saved and go to hell." I would seek counselling. I wouldn't try and do this alone. I think what you are trying to do is...

It seems like you have turned reading your bible into a ritual. Just like how other people with OCD fear germs, they wash their hands to get rid of the fear. But then they doubt weather or not their hands are clean so they clean their hands again and again. You have turned bible reading into...

I used to have blasphemous thoughts all day, but I don't have them anymore. There is a solution. The reason the thoughts seemed so powerful to me was because satan lead me to believe that God is cruel and angry, and He will punish me for every thought, even the ones I don't want. Your view...

To be specific what is the exact OCD thought? What does your OCD say to you to make you doubt. What is the exact phrase? Or is it just a generalized feeling? Part of my OCD is not seeing myself how God's sees me. At times I can see myself as very worthless and "disposable" to God. At times I...

Hi there, this thread is to help anyone suffering from OCD or any other mental distress. I have suffered with OCD for a few years and I know how profound that pain is. I want to help others who are suffering by sharing tips on how I have been healing and how I am finding freedom. So if you...

I would like to say sorry for the profound pain you are in. It takes a lot of courage to ask for help, even on the internet, and you should be proud of yourself for seeking help. God will never leave you nor forsake you, never forget that, please don't. Just because God hasn't come to you in the...

So glad you told your parents! Congrats. I know that can be a scary thing to do, but it can make things easier when you have a support group. God knows your heart, and he knows that you love Him. Show Him that you trust in Him for your salvation, not your thoughts. Just pray to him and tell...

You think that the only way you can serve God is through reading the bible, but that is not true. You are serving God when you do your homework; he has blessed you with an education, well then study for him. Do your work for him. When you are out with your family enjoy yourself and praise him...

Cool

I can understand that pain, and I can only speak to you through my experiences with mental anguish. First of all I would keep active. I know with depression it is hard to go out, but you need to go to bible studies, help in the church, volunteer places, do things that are up lifting. Get your...

Please ask God for the strength to tell them. Tell your parents you need help because you are trying to keep your faith, and you need their support. Let them know you are hurting, and their actions are really destructive to you. Tell them you need their mercy and kindness. Give them some info on...

1 Corinthians 10:27-30 New International Version (NIV) 27 If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. 28 But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the...

Hey EricaTN, Your post was from a couple years back, and hopefully you are better and don't need any more advice, but I thought I would say something since I have been baptized twice, and I have OCD. What I realize is that satan had me going after this impossible dream of perfection. But...
