OCD about resisting God

[Scared but trusting God]

My OCD has been driving me crazy it’s been constant and it’s gotten so bad to where my mind convinces me everything is a sin. I know that these aren’t sins but the part that worries me is when I think that if it was against God I would still do it. This has become a new obsession where my mind takes anything I do and convinces me it’s a sin. Then it makes me think that if it was against God I would still do it. I try so hard to resist this thought but it keeps coming and then I get so scared that I’m sinning by doing this specific thing and that I need to stop it or else. I know that the actual thing isn’t a sin but I’m scared that I’m resisting God which is the sin. My mind is doing this for everything I can think of and I feel so scared. I feel like at one point I won’t be able to do anything without it causing me to sin.

I try so hard to resist this thought but it keeps coming

Please search for and read the online article :- " 25 tips for successfully treating your ocd. "

This tells you Not to resist, suppress, ignore or argue with intrusive thoughts.

Please read it and re read it, then share it with your parents, partner, minister and especially with your doctor. Who should have told you how to cope with intrusive thoughts.

Posting the same post twice, tells me you really need help.

Please talk to your doctor about your problems, he can prescribe medication that will calm your mind down so the techniques of coping with intrusive thoughts have a chance to start working.

( I thought when I saw this that I hadn't posted my reply, which is why I've repeated it. )

Again please talk to your doctor.

I can tell you what helped me, but you'll have to evaluate this for yourself. You should of course seek out medical help if you can.

1. As it turned out I was overworking my mind. My job required way too much cognitive focus and I was working too hard. My case may be more extreme than most but I had to quit my job as it was exacerbating the problem.
2. I had to cut out sources that were triggering the OCD. I turned off sermons that were too angry and started blocking hostile people on social media more frequently. Eventually I even changed my surroundings.
   
3. I prayed, prayed and prayed more. I had a former history of personal faith, rather than faith dependent on others around me to fall back on. This helped TREMENDOUSLY, and letting this fade into the background was probably related to the OCD taking over in the first place.

May God keep and protect you! Praying!
