Is sitting through church hard for anyone?
For anyone struggling with religious OCD/ scurpulosity?
For anyone struggling with religious OCD/ scurpulosity?
I went through this last year! It can be tough because I thought if I was having these thoughts in church, I shouldn’t be there or I wasn’t paying attention etc., 1. God has grace for you 2. Way more people struggle with paying attention in church than they’d like to admit 3. Sit with the discomfort. Over time, it will get easier.
Yes, you may feel it’s hard for a different reason than me but I feel like I am not connecting enough with god in the ways that others do and I feel bad that I can’t tune in to what is being said even though I want to SO BAD
I knew I did when younger but I think that had something to do with my brother wearing a frock when he was in a church choir and had to leave or I'd laugh at him. 😅
I used to be like that at a church I used to go to. Barely understood the messages and connected to what they were saying. Then went to a new church and I looove it! So it depends on which church you can connect to the most
Yes it is
Do any of you have lots of trouble “accepting uncertainty” as part of your ERP because as a Christian sometimes you wonder if it’s really OCD or true conviction? I’m struggling with this right now.
Hi guys, as I mentioned before I do struggle with religious OCD. I am a follower of Christ and I love being a follower of Christ. I’m just really frustrated because having blasphemous thoughts really do put me down and really do question my love for God. It’s really hard to have these thoughts and sometimes I do feel like I’ll never be forgiven and reading more articles just makes me more stress if you’re struggling with this I want you to know that you’re not alone and I am praying for you.
Does anybody else get really tired, like I mean to the point we're you sometimes just don't care. I feel like that right now and it's scaring me. I don't have motivation to pray or do anything. I'm worried that all along it was me and it finally came out and now I'm done for. I still get anxious when I feel the thoughts coming but I just don't have motivation to fight them. Or to pray afterwards. Idk if any of y'all have this happen but I would love to know.
