• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

my ocd is telling me

ocd: you must pray in a compulsive way cause maybe your prayers wont be heard and since you, anxiously, try to do the compulsions maybe that makes the compulsions valid. maybe your prayers are not being heard.

I was thinking about this and I was worrying and I randomly, started thinking like "what if I heard a door in the building where I live?"

and I hear a door.

ocd: maybe that is a sign from God that you must do the compulsions otherwise your prayers won't be heard

I was thinking about it some minutes later and I randomly got another thought like "what if I hear now another door?"

and I heard another door.

You need to listen to your counselor about how you deal with the OCD voices and seek to do that.
I suspect it is a very tiring struggle that never ends.
But remember your OCD does not determine your spiritual state, that is in Jesus,'s hands and you can rest assured that he will not let your OCD snatch your of his hands.
