Hello,

Please pray for me. I am struggling with emotion numbing. I want to be filled with Christ's love and compassion. I want to be compassionate towards others and do God's will.

I recently went through an extreme bout of religious OCD. Including fears about the unpardonable. It lasted a month with extreme panic attacks, constant fear, and condemnation. I then experienced and episode where it felt like I was out of my body. After then, my emotions have been numb.

I am usually filled with emotion, and empathy. I do not feel like myself. I almost feel shut off from myself. I do not feel as happy, as sad, as loving. I think the same and I want to feel those things. Sometimes I feel like I am just thoughts because they don't connect with my emotions.

I have repented of horrible sin. I want to follow God. I do not want to sin. I want to do God's will. I wish I could go back. I do not feel like myself. I feel like a shell of myself. The emotion numbing is the most scary thing of all.


Please pray that God restores me. That He holds on to me and never let's me go. That all fleshly desires are cast down. That my emotions are restored. That I will be filled with Christ's love and compassion, and that I can share that love and compassion with others. That He will keep my eyes open to Him.

I do not want to be lost. I know every good thing comes from God.

We will pray for you, hang in there friend. Cast all your cares to God, he cares for you. Try spending alone time with God, he wants to do good in your life if you let him.

I don't know if you know this or not butt there is an actual term for religious OCD and it is called Scrupulosity. You may want to research it so you know that you are not alone. I have met countless people on CF with this same thing.

Father, I again pray for this one that they will be lead to focus on You instead of whether they have emotions or not, and that they would see this is the proper course, and be blessed in taking that course, and remain in the situation they are in if they don't. Wishing them Your very best. Amen.

I want to thank everyone for their prayers. I had a break in the numbness yesterday and was able to cry and praise and worship with my whole heart. It was beautiful and amazing. I am feeling numb again today, but I know God is with me and I am thankful that God does not base my salvation on any qualities of my own but on his faithfulness and truth. I love my Lord Jesus and will follow Him no matter how I feel. Please keep me in your prayers for healing from OCD, depersonalization, and to give me a soft compassionate heart.
