Religious OCD

[roseglass6370]

Anyone here a sufferer of religious OCD? That is what I had/have. Many of my symptoms are gone but I still have some.

Mainly my fears center around doing this to make God mad at me or doing things that would hurt my family/friends that are linked with the devil/evil "things".

Anyone else here suffer/used to suffer from these things? Anyone care to share what their obsessions are/were?? Maybe if we share it will give us some comfort in knowing we aren't alone. That usually helps a lot.

Just remember God loves you and understands.

P.S. Anyone who is having problems with Religious OCD, feel free to PM me if you want a buddy to talk with, offer advice, help in anyway, or even just to listen. I'm here for you.

yep yep i made a thread about this a while ago. religious OCD is known as Scrupulosity. I have tons of obsessions about everything being wrong and a sin and and was worried to do all the things i enjoy. it was really bad for awhile but thanks to God, my mom, some medication, and a good counsler things are looking much better

My obsessions? Vows. I'm terrified of "accidentally" making a vow, yet crazy promises (most of which make no sense) constantly pop into my head. I've fought it hard and had counseling, etc. If you want to talk more, feel free to PM. Hope you're getting better! Hold fast to the Word.
