I just want to tell everyone how amazing it has been to read your posts on here. I have known that I was OCD for 5 years now, but always thought I was alone as a Christian OCD sufferer. I take a low dose medication and went to a psychologist for a while to learn how to cope with it, bit still always felt that I might still actually be "doing this all wrong."

Again, I feel a little more at peace knowing that I am not alone and have a community of fellow OCD believers.

God bless all of you!!!!

There are many Christians that struggle in this way I believe, many are afraid to speak up, but throughout history there has been OCD suffers who were used mightily by God (Martin Luther, John Bunyan, even C.S. Lewis suffered from compulsive praying as a child). I pray God will use all of us on here as well. You are definitely not alone, God bless you!

Yeah, it's definitely a huge comfort to know that there are others out there who go through the same thing as you. Especially for something as difficult and stressful as OCD. I'm glad this board brought you some comfort!

I know exactly how you feel. My first visit to this forum came from typing, "doubting your salvation" into a search engine. I was a mess at that point and had no idea that my problem was OCD. I knew I had panic disorder but I never understood that I had OCD. Thirty two years ago I had my very first bout of debilitating OCD. It lasted for years. It centered on horrid thoughts that I would harm my children. Over the years it's gone after different things but when it attacked my faith in Christ I thought that life could not be worth living again. Then I found this forum and began to understand that I had pure "O" OCD and learned so much on here and from research, going to therapy and getting on meds. for the first time in my life. This forum is and always will be one of the things that I've been enormously thankful to God for. A lot of doors have opened up for me to share my faith because of my OCD/anxiety disorder. So now I can thank God for how He's used it to grow me and still is.
Ditto's to what you said. I hope you'll stick around with us.

This forum has been a lifesaver for me, I just wish I had found it sooner, when my symptoms first started. Everyone here is really helpful, and if you think you're the only one who has said or thought something horrible, chances are one of us has struggled with it as some point as well. I hope you stick around.
