Intrusive thoughts
Does anyone have any tips on how to move on from intrusive thoughts when you’re constantly afraid that if you ignore them God will be mad at you?

This is my perspective as a Muslim. The problem occurs when you perceive God as a human who experiences emotions like anger or frustration. God created us and our emotions, which are designed to protect us—fear, for instance, helps steer us away from harm. God doesn't need our emotions because He doesn't experience fear; He is All-Knowing and All-Powerful. Therefore, why assume that the Great God would get "mad" at a thought He created or allowed? This assumes He experiences anger like we do.

Sometimes I try this method, when I have an intrusive thought I immediately sing a verse from my favorite religious song , at first I had to force my brain to do it , now my brain does it sometimes without me even noticing

@Nicoleterry Yea that could work but for me it would turn into a compulsion I think..

Mark DeJesus gave me some of the first perspectives on overcoming this🙏 into my journey. Maybe you can check him out on YouTube. Of course he’s only human, but probably the fact that he talks about this he is one of the first in this field, I guess. To me it was helpful. But I also know that God himself was also there the whole time. He was holding me, although I couldn’t give him anything. I’m currently in a better state, but want to learn that God sees me everyday, and when I can’t do anything he is still there. He’s not indifferent to my pain, even though ocd might tell me so.

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Advice please??? I’m CONFUSED
OK, this might sound really dumb, but when you guys get intrusive thoughts, do they just come once and then go away? I’ve heard that repeatedly thinking about an intrusive thought is considered ‘checking,’ but it doesn’t feel like I have any control over how many times it comes up in my head. It’s not like I’m trying to check anything—it just keeps showing up, almost like it’s terrorizing me every time. I can’t seem to stop it from looping, stop remembering it, or prevent it from coming up. Every time it does, I feel horrified, and I already know it’s going to horrify me. I don’t think I’m actively trying to see if my feelings have changed, so is this still considered checking? How do other people get an intrusive thought and just move on? Doesn’t it pop up a million times for them too? I always thought that was normal, but now I’m hearing this could be a compulsion, and I feel really confused, scared, and lost. Is this why my OCD feels so extreme? Because I really don’t feel like I can control how many times the thought pops up.

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️
