Please pray for me, I just feel really scared right now. Struggling with anxiety and I can't stop crying. I don't think I'll be getting any sleep tonight. I've been dealing with some awful intrusive thoughts and I keep praying to God to let the things I fear be lies. I don't want to deal with...

I'm having the hardest time accomplishing things. Sometimes I'll sit in front of the computer and when I try to do something productive I end up feeling completely immobilized. It' s a struggle to even force myself to do simple tasks. I'm also having a real hard time making decisions...

I have a really bad toothache (top left wisdom tooth). I don't know when I'll be able to get to this dentist. I hate taking risks with my health, but I really don't have the money. I've brushed the tooth, I've taken ibuprofen, and I even dipped some paper towel in apple cider vinegar and placed...

It's been a little over two months since that awful appointment where I got diagnosed with OCD, I'm still experiencing intrusive thoughts but with less anxiety though (it's called a backdoor spike). I still feel stuck in some ways and I haven't the slightest idea of what kind of therapist I...

I'm planning on taking a general transcription course and I really need this to work out. My mom keeps telling me that she needs my help financially so I'm feeling the pressure. I'm hoping I can stay motivated and this will something I'm actually good at. It is a home job but there a good number...

I just woke up from a terrible dream. It involved one of the OCD theme I have. In the nightmare though an OCD theme projected on to a dead family member. And said person did something horrific and disgusting to another family member. My heart was completely broken in the nightmare. I wanted to...

It's late and I can't sleep. Trying to distract myself and I was wondering if anyone else watched this show. It comes on Monday nights NBC 10/9 central time. It's got time travel and a diverse cast. It's chock full of history lessons. I love that, for the most part, it's a family friendly show...

I feel so confused about my life and the direction it's going. I feel so stuck and I don't know what steps to take for even the smallest thing. I went to see a psychiatrist last Monday (something I avoided doing for years) mostly because I had finally reached the end of my rope of suffering in...

I had an appointment with the psychiatrist today and I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and depression. I have awful intrusive thoughts (one of the themes I have is an irrational fear of harming others). I confided in her and I said I just want to know that I'm a safe person to...

So I've been asking God for something silly and I don't know why but I'm having the hardest time letting it go (to the point of feeling so anxious). There's this deep yearning in the pit of my stomach that won't go away. It's driving me crazy because there are so many important things going on...

I can't stop crying. I don't know what else to do but mutter Psalm 23 while I sob. I struggle with really bad intrusive thoughts and I feel so miserable most of the time. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist Monday and I've been praying that it goes well. I just need something to change for...

So I've been asking God for something silly (and shallow) it's looking really bleak but I'm having the hardest time letting go of wanting it. I just wanted something to look forward to regardless of how insignificant. I figured that by hoping for something small maybe I could learn to trust God...

Recently, I've felt comfortable enough to listen to sermons again (just the same two ones). But I tried watching a sermon on TBN and it made me so anxious and I can't stop worrying. I try to listen encouraging sermons that speak of God's love but I still feel so terrible. I just don't know what...

I finally made an appointment to see a psychiatrist. I really didn't want but these past few weeks I have felt so miserable. I've already been diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder last April by my GP but I've suspected for a while that I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder too. The...

I know it silly but I really want to know how God feels about people who are struggling with OCD. It's been a rough couple of weeks. I keep praying for help so that I can stop suffering in silence. I've finally been able to listen to sermons again without getting triggered. But since I couldn't...

I'm still really distressed about the thoughts. I don't want to be the monster the thoughts try to depict me as. I keep telling myself the thoughts aren't mine but I don't feel any relief. I've cried out God but nothing's changed. I still can't tell anyone. I hate this. I want help but I can't...

Usually, I don't have problem sleeping. But tonight and a few nights I didn't any sleep. I tried mediating on scripture but I can't stop crying. I hate these intrusive thoughts so much (the main theme is the fear of harming others I had a relapse with this theme last December). It's been a...

I can't stop crying and I feel like a huge disappointment. I don't know what to do.

I want assurance from God regarding these thoughts so much. I've been trying practice thanksgiving and focus on God's love for me but at times I still feel distressed. I acknowledge that God loves me no matter and immediately the thought pops in to my head, 'But still I never want to hurt...

I'm trying to cling to God but I still don't know what to do. Whenever I try to listen to or read encouraging biblical things thoughts my brain finds a way to twist it. It keeps coming back to the intrusive thoughts I'm having. I've struggled with all kinds of intrusive thoughts- about my...
