Any advice

[Dempsey1919]

I have bad ocd worrying that if I do or think something to upset God something bad will happen, like I won't be able to control mental rituals, thoughts or actions so I'm repeating myself and doing rituals and I worry if I stop doing them I won't be able to control rituals, thoughts and actions it sounds crazy this but this is the way my mind works. If I lower my anxiety my mind does slow a bit. I practice mindfulness.

Hey! I did online and phone counseling with biblicalcounselingcenter.org/ for anxiety and ocd and they really helped me! I recommend you call them. I still struggle, but what I learned there really helped me. I stopped because of money issues, but I do think that they work with people if they can't pay the whole price!

Also, this song comforts me, thinking about God's love for us. youtube.com/watch?v=WLJ0OsC...(Not working as expected?)

Also, sometimes when I am worried I read John 6:16-21. It calms me and gives me hope and I ask Jesus to come into my situation and help me. You can read it here it's helped me for years. biblegateway.com/passage/?s...

I am reading this book now, called Winning the war in your mind. I've been finding it really helpful! It's not specifically for ocd but I still like it! You can find it here: amazon.com/gp/aw/d/03103627...

Jesus has helped me through so much, here's some verses if you want to learn more about Him.

John 3:16

Hello. I suffer from Scrupulousness as part of my OCD. You are not alone.Always remember God loves you. Always here for support 🙏

Think of it this way can you actually do something to upset God, God supposedly knows all and sees all so whatever you do or will do is all predictable to God so is it possible to upset God if God already knew

The thing is I do believe in God, but I've never been a church goer or I've never even read the bible, but I do worry if I thought something bad about God or Said i don't believe in him which I do, I worry that God will control my thoughts and make me have sick fantasies and thoughts or I won't even be able to control sick fantisies or thoughts, it sounds crazy as I know God is good. I also know that he won't turn me into a bad person. He won't turn me into a sick person who harms people, but that's anxiety in my head. It's scary.

Here is a webpage that has really helped me cope with my ocd:accounseling.org/coping-sta...

There are some other good articles pertaining to your theme of ocd on that website.

And remember the nature of God is perfect and loving; there is no evil in him and He will not cause you to stumble because that is only in the nature of the enemy.

“Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one.”

‭‭James‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NET‬‬

Hope this helps somewhat! Praying for you.

Thank you, I know it's irrational and all in my head, but hey that's ocd.

Praying for you, I have OCD scrupulously I share the struggle with unwanted thoughts.God understands what we go through He is there for you and loves you. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”

‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭

God bless you.

[2Cor517]

May you be encouraged to look to Jesus Christ in this really tough time. God understands what we're going through better than we ourselves do. God knows. God cares. Simply come to Him, pour out your heart Him. Remember that Jesus says "28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”" - from Matthew 11
