Something I noticed about this ocd stuff

[jodocd]

The less I talk about it the less I ask for ressurance the better my ocd gets!!! So even when I truly feel I am the worset monster on the planet , or feel like I have been a terrible mother and what not. And that I am what my thoughts say I am, I just go ok, well maybe so. But God knows my heart best we will let Him make finale judgment. And I also think that the mind is really just a big poop pot of alot of crappy thoughts, disgusting thoughts, immoral thoughts and wrong thinking.God gives us a renewed mind, but with all the crude of the world it is hard for it to stay that way. There is so much crude going into are brains, how can we expect it to only produce right thinking, in a world so far from right. However, when you look at your spirit and your heart that is where you can find truth of who you are and who God intends you to be.
Anyway something to think about
Give me some of your thoughts kindly please I am just talking out loud not trying to start some large debate. Just some learning from one another.

Well, I certainly agree about the mind being a poop pot. Not just OCD, but all sort of rubbish goes through it. Excremental words are just the types of things needed to describe what goes on in mine. Like it says in one of the prophets: even our best deeds are filthy rags. I would hate to hear even my best thoughts described. Always tinged with selfishness, at the very least. You can do things which belie the state of your mind to convince others, but God knows the state of our mind. It is kind of encouraging to know that God knows just how bad we are, and just how bad we can be and are going to be, and yet loves us anyway. We don't need to have pretenses before him.

I was intrigued by one thing you wrote: you mentioned looking at your spirit and your heart (as opposed to looking at your mind). Could you please explain what you mean by that? How are you to look at spirit and your heart?

And no need to worry that any unkindly words will come your way. No need to worry about debates either! This is no forum for debates, because we are all in this together, gaining encouragement from each other, supporting each other. It is good that you came here!
