ocd

How I Battle My OCD Everyone has a giant to face, a mountain in their life to be moved. My greatest obstacle has always been fear: false evidence appearing real. I have OCD, and for too long, this “doubting disease” had made me afraid similar to how my former abuser did to me, controlling my...

Hello I am new here and hope I can find some support or reassurance. I have OCD/anxiety disorder with intrusive thoughts. It’s why I don’t pray often, afraid of the intrusive thoughts. Many years ago while driving at night a dog ran out and my bumper clipped him. He ran off onto a porch, panting...

Hello, my name is John. Through the power of God, I am overcoming the previous giants of bipolar disorder, OCD, past trauma from child abuse, and previous failures from taking control of my life. I am doing well on my road toward experiencing a full recovery from my mental illness. Since March...

OCD is like quicksand...the more you "fight" it, the more you sink and get stuck...so the question should be, how do we get "unstuck" so to speak? Please post resources/advice that you find helpful in this thread.

I'm not sure where to post this... (BiPolar, OCD, Psychosis forums??...) Anyway - I have been struggling with an Antichrist delusion that I get confused with reality/spiritual experiences, if you want to read about the background see this post: Antichrist Delusion Share Your Scariest Moments...

I was going to bring a sweet potato casserole to a Christmas party tonight. But when I was opening the cans, I had trouble with the can opener, and I freaked out because I thought a piece of metal from the can got in the sweet potatoes. And then as I was inspecting the can to see if the piece...

Hi, I'm quite new here and I've been through a lot lately ranging from dwindling health and a nervous breakdown resulting in numbness/apathy/ocd/intrusive thoughts 24/7. It has completely destroyed my mind and I find myself hopeless and completely lost! I feel like a total shipwreck with a heart...

I have suffered from OCD on and off for several years. Before I was a Christian, I would say things like "If you step on a crack it means that something bad will happen," or "If you roll an even number on a dice it means that something bad will happen if you go to that party," My OCD stopped...

I’ve had agoraphobia since I was 20 I’m 45 now. I don’t go out at all. I have panic, anxiety, ocd, I was diagnosed with Addisons two years ago. I have a bunch of problems with food. A dietitian I managed to get to talk to on the phone thinks I have oral pollen syndrome where my body attacks the...

Growing up, I was told that God judges our thoughts - and our emotions. Scriptures like this have always been to show this concept: Matthew 5 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her has already committed...

Hi. First, those who have OCD and difficulties in receiving communion may wish to skip this message as I don't want my own issues to add to anyone's existing anxieties or intrusive, unwanted thoughts. I need to preface this by saying that I have OCD and, while all OCD sufferers probably think...

Hi guys, (warning, long post incoming!) I came here a while ago, for some issues with my OCD. It was related to HEAVILY repeated prayers because I kept forgetting what I or felt like I didn't see it properly, or felt like I was not doing the cross sign properly. Related to this, I felt like...

Dear All After years of having a long track record of several forms of OCD (Car, Germs, Illnesses, being unclean spiritually and lots more) now I suffer from Relationship OCD which is getting worse and worse. I am certain that all of this has to do with deep wounds in my heart, caused by how I...

So lets start at the beginning. Ive always had some ocd. I remember being five and trying to go to go to bed and picturing blocks going together in my head, seeing them fit snugly together was very satisfying, but they would always mess up somehow and I would not be able to relax until I made...

Can be deleted, thank you so much :) I got delivered from this

I just spent an inordinate amount of time making a cake for an Easter potluck. And it took me forever because I had to make sure everything was clean and safe. I have this fear of metal bits getting into food, and I'd spent the morning putting together some furniture so there had been some metal...

I've posted a few threads about my vow issues. I'm now better at understanding the patterns that I fall into. Here's a description of it: Obsession: I would get thoughts like "what if I vowed to do ...?", typically something quite significant, so vowing it away is quite stressful for me...

Hi looking for people who have ever thought they were the antichrist to share/explain some of their scariest moments that convinced them they were the antichrist? Anyone have similar experiences to mine? Want to find someone who's gone through the same thing...it's really scary! I'll share...

Hello friends! I want to share my testimony, so sit back and hear (or rather read) what God has done for me! And what he can do for you too! It all started during my sophomore year of high school. I was placed in geometry, and was struggling to keep up with my class. One thing you should know...
