    What game are you currently playing?

    I just got to the ending of Omori, but it seems like I have some secret content to do there as well.

    Trying to Trust

    Sometimes we have the right goals, good ones that God has put in us, but our strategy for fulfilling those goals are completely off. There were times I tried to share faith and ended up doing it completely wrong (as far as I can tell), possibly even entrenching the other people's original...

    Can I Stop Intrusive Thoughts? OCD Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

    Remember: Philippians 2:13 KJV "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." Which suggests that wanting to be forgiven means you're still influenced by God in some way.

    Getting words switched up

    Sometimes I feel the need to repeat the prayer correctly a few times, but that’s it initially. Sometimes the wrong sequence of words sticks in my head, though.

    Getting words switched up

    Actually mixed up, though I’m sure there are cases where I just feel it too. Like sometimes a “no” comes out as a “yes” or visa-versa.

    Terrified to take medication

    God created all the things that the medication would be made from, He is not at all surprised that they can be combined in such a way to help people with a problem. You’d also be making a statement, that this challenge doesn’t define you.

    Only God Knows

    Dealing with such a constant stream of thoughts about requirements or restrictions I might hypothetically put myself under has brought me to this conclusion: I’m never going to figure out if I’m under them or not by any sort of logic. Only God knows if any of them apply, and I’ll only know if He...

    Getting words switched up

    I’m probably not surprising anyone when I say that another symptom ( botherance should be a word) is getting words mixed up in a prayer. At the very least it seems to have gone down to just an annoyance rather that horrific, so that’s one small victory I guess. I know that God knows what I meant...

    Intrusive Vows

    That’s how OCD works, it thinks of the worst case scenario and keeps telling you that it’s right at the door. Unintentional promises are like any other unintentional thought, God probably isn’t bothered by them. But it’s best to seek help soon before they get worse.

    Does Amending An Intrusive Thought Confim It?

    My thanks. I’ve started looking through those.

    hello..struggling with depression.

    God knows your struggle, I can’t say much definitively, but I know that much. If you come to Him personally, He might give you His answer.

    That is kind of you, please do so.

    OCD problems with dirtiness.

    I would suggest taking this one step at a time. E.g. get used to wearing clothes you suspect are dirty before putting them with the others.

    Does Amending An Intrusive Thought Confim It?

    Not yet, I’ll look for options but my money’s pretty limited right now.

    Well, my apologies for that. I had a really bad attack lately.

    Does Amending An Intrusive Thought Confim It?

    Let’s say that an OCD thought comes to me making a promise or saying that I’ll f have to do something or another thing will happen and, in the resulting panic i forget that it’s not from me (meaning I probably won’t be held to it) and make an amendment to the thought, like “just for ten days“ or...

    How can I tell whether a thought was intentional or not?

    Sorry for the delay. This is what I plan to do, I have a project that I told God in prayer (but did not promise, don’t want to open that can of worms) that I’ll continue to the end to despite any thought.

    How can I tell whether a thought was intentional or not?

    I don’t have clearance for PMs yet. As for the explanation: I do some writing, not enough to go full time with it, but I enjoy it. But the current thing that coming up are thoughts saying that some of my characters are members of the Trinity, or will become them if I do or don’t do some act...

    How can I tell whether a thought was intentional or not?

    I’m taking Fluoxetine. I was in therapy for a few weeks but, if I’m being honest with myself, I wasn’t prepared to give them all the information they needed. EDIT: in fact, I didn’t really here either, give me some time to prepare and I’ll explain what’s going on.
