    So if I made that statement truly then does it mean that every action I do means that I am giving my life to the devil????

    Hi so it had gotten a lot better. And I could fully function and it was great but now I fear that I'm going to say that everything I do signifies me giving my life to the devil or something and so I said to myself look everything you do does not signify that. But then I felt like I agreed with a...

    True :) No one (I think) is acting godly, they are just normal human beings who are Christian we all talk about normal stuff haha :) What do you mean by spiritually minded?

    No, I'm afraid I'm actually making vows now because my OCD wants me to take risks and it says stuff like, If you get this next problem right then you don't have to make a vow. But if you don't get this problem right then you will make that vow. So I do have some pride in my intelligence so I...

    Hey so I feel like I have almost no free will. The OCD is pressing so much that it's like you're bound to fail at some time. I'm trying to ignore but I have so much anxiety again it's really hard. It's like it presses on you and tempts you to take a risk like I said and I think it is me not OCD...

    Well, I cleared it up; You can't make a vow unconsciously or vow something that you didn't know you were vowing to--that's an accident. But even if I did-- I just don't think I could stop laughing. And I look back and they don't seem like vows anymore. Also update-- yesterday was probably one of...

    So, I was trying to ignore and eat goldfish; and then I started fearing that I would vow because of rebellion's sake but I forced down another piece of goldfish and then either I had a thought that okay so you ate that piece of goldfish so if you "vowed" something for rebellion's sake then these...

    It feels so real. Like I don't care about myself anymore or something. And I want to "be free" and take risks and be rebellious because I've always been the "good child". And honestly perhaps these are real desires but also I know that that is all so foolish and I can be free in other ways. I'd...

    I am not because now I feel like or my OCD tells me I should make a risk and vow for risk's sake. I should "live in the moment" because I've been fearing it for so long and i should have freedom and just vow it. Aghhhhh. Maybe I do want have freedom and I've had the chains of OCD so long but I...

    Also, I sometimes do have bad thoughts about God and that's not OCD. I'm just angry and bitter sometimes :( But I still trust Him and I have to keep choosing to too.

    I need help

    Thank you so much :) No, I'm not scared to actually do what I want for my life because I know that God made all things originally good. God created the bearing of children, He created good food, and all those things; so I know that He is not against it-- He actually calls us to enjoy all these...

    Thank you so much. I can totally relate. My feelings I think have come back somewhat; they're irregular. I'm praying for you so much. You're strong :) God is going to use this for good in your life even if it doesn't seem like it. That verse you put made me tear up. I'm so tired and I don't...

    I feel like maybe I've changed or something, my character hasn't gone up but probably has gone down these last eight months of OCD; I find myself sometimes rebellious towards God perhaps because I've fought so long and am so tired and I do not quite understand why this has happened but I correct...

    Hi so this is really scaring me: I want to one day have children and Lord willing, will. But today has probably been one ord the worst days; I want to have children but I don't know if my brain is numbing me or something because it feels like I just don't care if I make a vow not to have...

I will try to take your advice too! :) And I will try to alway remember that all the punishments for my sins and failings is all paid for...
