Quick Question

[tyield1102]

Does anybody else when they are extremely anxious over whether they have lost their salvation or well anything that their OCD gets stuck on pull out their hair? These past few weeks I have started pulling bits of my hair out of my head and my eyebrows too. Was just curious if this is a part of OCD or something else.

 

[John B Jr.]

you're not alone with that from what I've heard

Would that be the compulsive side of the OCD? The need to relieve the anxiety by pulling the hair out? I'm afraid I'm not gonna have my eyebrows anymore and will be missing chunks of my hair if this continues. I don't know how not to do it..sometimes I don't even realize I'm doing it. I guess it's better than getting mad at God when the thoughts happen.

 

[John B Jr.]

all of what you mentioned I've heard of.

Be of peace, you aren't a freak but a dearly loved child of God

It sounds like trichotillomania. Have you ever heard of it? It is a disorder which can be associated with OCD - it is sometimes placed in the Obsessive-compulsive Spectrum (a model of a spectrum of OCD like disorders). Those with OCD have a higher than average probability of having trichotillomania.

If you have never met the term before, google it - trichotillomania.

I am very sorry that you are hurting this much.

I am wondering if you are seeing a doctor for treatment?

Some people have received much help from treatment and medication.


Jesus said
verily verily I say unto you,he that believeth on Me has everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation.

Unfortunately our brains just like our human bodies suffer afflictions.
We know that our pancreas should produce the correct amount of insulin , we know they should.Still many times they do not and therefore people have diabeties.
The people with diabeties want their pancreas to produce the correct insulin , do not want to have diabeties.
Same with mental afflictions, we want our brains to function whole and healthy , but they do not always do that, they suffer afflictions against our will.
Jesus knows and understands this.
Jesus does not hold this against us.
Jesus cares and understands.
Jesus will never leave you or forsake you and no mental affliction will change that .
Nothing will seperate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

A person who lost salvation would not care about it at all.

you do care very very much.
You do not have to muster up all this strength.
Jesus is our strength.
Jesus protects us and you are safe in Jesus hand.
Jesus will never never let you go.
We are weak but Jesus is strong.
It is Jesus who saves us and protects us and keeps us safe.
Jesus is our Saviour.
We do not save ourselves.
We only have to rest in Jesus , under His wings.
Jesus is our Rock and High Tower.
Jesus is holding onto us and will never let us go.
We can rest
We have a Mighty Saviour.
We are safe
You are safe in Jesus hand.
You can rest.
Almighty Jesus will keep you and protect you always
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.Now I do not believe that this affliction is sinful, nevertheless even if you thought it was.
Jesus died for all sin and will never cast out anyone who comes to Him for mercy and salvation.
Whosoever will may come and Jesus will in no wise cast you out.Mental afflictions are not sin.
He knows it causes you pain and distress and you do not want to go through it.

Jesus came to heal the broken hearted and deliver the captive and set at liberty the bruised, and you sound broken hearted.

Jesus wants us to come to Him for rest.
Jesus is meek and lowly in heart and we shall find rest for our souls.
Jesus is merciful and compassionate and is touched by our infirmities .
He is not condemning us.
Jesus is welcoming us and caring for us and protecting us.
He cares and is keeping us safe forever.




Jesus said , he that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.

Surrender all your fears to Him in prayer and hope in Jesus.

Not by strength , nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord.
That is in the bible.
We do not have to have all this power and strength to fix ourselves.
Jesus Spirit heals us.
We just have to wait,
be still and know that He is God.
He is the Lord that heals us.
Jesus is our Good Shepherd who leads us to still Waters and Restores our soul.

King David said bless the Lord oh my soul
and forget not all His benefits.
Who forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases.

Jesus washes us clean in His own blood.

Nothing is too difficult for Jesus.
Jesus heals us.
He loves us
Jesus keeps us safe and restores our souls.


One day we shall see Jesus face to face and He will wipe away all tears from our eyes.
We will not always suffer.

I think you should see a doctor and get a diagnosis. The good Lord will always be with you to guide you through others, too. God bless.

Thanks all for the replies. I just don't know what to do anymore. I don't know what I want anymore. Scriptures that talk about how people became futile in their thoughts so their understanding was darkened seems to apply to me and my life. I look inside myself to try to find out whether or not I really believe in Jesus. When I read my Bible I search for that knowing in my heart and it seems absent. Then that makes me believe that I have sinned against God to the degree that I can't come back to Him no matter how much I want to. In the Bible it says even if we are willing it is still up to God. Then last night I was reading about how people have images of God in their head and that we can have the wrong image of God and turn Him from the incorruptable God to a corrupt one and that in turn damns you. Then when God does do something for me I doubt it and don't praise Him for it therefore I'm not showing Him the proper respect He deserves which is also damning. For example I was in the store thinking about God and how He says hope in Him never disappoints and how I need to have hope. Right after that I saw a bottle of laundry detergent with the words "loads of hope" on it. It was in an area I don't usually go to but decided to go see what they had there. Then my brother has a dream that the rapture happened and him and his wife and my husband were left behind, but me and my kids were gone. In his dream the moon was blood red and there were balls of fire falling from the sky. He said he wasn't going to tell me about it, but then he couldn't shake it that I needed to know his dream. Actually the dream thing happened first then the loads of hope. Then after that I was in another store and picked up a devotional book and the message at the bottom said you are on the right path. At first I thought it was from God, but then I remembered that satan uses God's word too and thought it could be from him trying to keep me on my path to damnation. It's like I'm failing at everything. I don't seem to have much faith if any at all. I either doubt or have unbelief in me not sure which. I don't give God the glory He deserves. Oh and to top it all off I hardly feel guilt anymore over anything. I have asked God to please let me feel guilt again over the things I have done wrong. How I would love to feel guilt. I did the other day when I slipped up and said a bad word on accident and felt the guilt then immediately afterwards asked God for forgiveness for it. That was a rare occasion though. Then I constantly have horrible thoughts about God and Jesus all day long. I have thoughts that I want to leave Him and be damned and that Hell would be a fun place to go and its like something evil inside me smiles and I HATE that. I fight the thoughts by saying I don't want them, but it feels like a part of me does want to say and think those things. I look back and remember when I loved God with everything I had when I praised Him daily when His word and will were the top priority of my life. God was my everything and I was happy, truly happy for the first time in my life. Now it's all gone. I know that bad times come and I'm not always gonna feel that way, but it seems like I have gone from that to the exact opposite end of the spectrum. I think like an unbeliever it seems. Sorry this is so long just a lot has been on my mind. I just need some input. And please be honest with me if you think I'm not saved or damned. I also have serious trust issues in my life and don't know how to fully trust God or even believe for that matter. It's like I don't know how to do anything but have bad thoughts, eat, sleep and breathe.

guilt and condemnation do not save.Jesus saves.

In the Bible it says even if we are willing it is still up to God

.



God is not willing that any perish.


Jesus wants us to trust in Him and come to Him for rest.

Jesus said he that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out.


whosoever will may come.

I think seeing a doctor is a good idea.I urge you to see a doctor and get help.
