Ugh,

My OCD latched on. I’ll read something somewhere that will say like,

Stop saying I love you.

And with my psychosis I think it’s a message from God saying stop trying to buddy up with me, you’re dead and at My Judgement.

It’s a terrible fear because I think I can’t read scripture especially the OT.

It’s psychosis mixed with OCD and PTSD.

I just wished I could absolutely know I’m not dead. Enjoy my found relationship with Jesus and move on with life.

Stand still and know that He is Lord. God's love for you is not based on your feelings. Don't let anything convince you that you're not loved. God our Father has loved you with an everlasting love. May the Lord grant you peace and wellness.

If you have a cell phone, you can bookmark appropriate messages to remind yourself God still loves you. If not, use a paper Bible or your computer. Something like, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" could be very helpful when you're doubting God's love.

I hope you can find some way to remember to "think again" when you experience mental tricks. I'd like to give you some kind of a joke that might be a reminder, but I don't know a good one. Maybe the image of some old Marx Brothers film that you like could serve as a trigger to interrupt OCD thought pattern.

Sorry that you have to cope with all this.
I agree with what other posters have written.

If you can, for the time being just write down a few verses that you can tell yourself when confusing thoughts come to mind.

Here are a few.
Be still and know that I am God .(Psalm 46:10a)

I will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews13:5b)

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (2Timothy 1:7)

The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid" ( Psalm 27:1)

Psalm 27 is really comforting in times of fear, sadness, confusion etc.

Most of all remember you are precious beyond measure to God and many times our thoughts and feelings can distract us from this but the fact still remains the same.
GOD LOVES YOU WITH AN EVERLASTING LOVE.
God bless you with His peace.

Whoops sorry I got carried away.

Psalm 27:1. Should read

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
the Lord is the strength of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?

My apologies for the mis writing. Sorry.
