I was diagnosed with OCD last fall (my OCD focuses on things like fear of contamination, safety of my daughter, excessive checking of everything, health worries, and many other things). I have apparently had it my whole life, although I had a hard time accepting it at first. I have been on a medication for a few months, although I am thinking of switching because it hasn't helped much (if at all). I am told that a lot of people have to switch before finding the one that works for them. I have also been seeing a Christian therapist, which has been helpful. One thing that I am beginning to realize is that my OCD has made it harder for me to trust God. I sometimes feel like Thomas -- I need to see everything (and see it multiple times) to believe it. I have prayed many times asking for God to give me more faith. If anyone with OCD has had similar experiences with the trust issue, I would love to hear about them.
