Question

„We are safe in God, no matter what thoughts are arising.“ Amen🙏

If you want to see true possession, just turn on the TV. Over half of Hollywood is possessed. Lol

If you aren’t into God, apologies, not tryna push anything on you, but you did mention possession so therefore you may believe in evil, and if there is evil, there is a Devil, and if there is good there is a God. So here it goes. Dont freak out, relax it doesn’t get a hold of you like you see in the movies. Although OCD is a mental defect, it does make us more aware of the spiritual aspect of intrusive thoughts. Everyone has them, we just try and figure them out, and get stuck on everything because we need to add meaning to everything. So in short, this is partially spiritual yes! And partially physical. The thoughts dont come from us, but the reactions do.

Slightly giggling because I don't see this theme often! But I REALLY struggled with it as a child. I was terrified of being possessed, haunted, ghost watching me, I was constantly apologizing to God. I'd have nightmares of me being dragged to hell. My mother had me see the pastor and i begged to be baptised. 😅 all jokes aside. Ocd can be about anything and I hate to give you reassurance but please know you aren't possessed. Try to settle. And definitely be willing to give exposure therapy a try. It changed my life. You're not alone in this!

Yes, as a Christian I get this one a lot. I sometimes worry that I'm possessed or cursed. I know it's just me head messing with me though

I have experienced a number of themes over the years and I’ve been able to distinguish what is OCD, and what is an actual threat I have went through for example, a rabies theme. With this one, everything I touched any little scratch on my finger any animal, I pet any animal I came into contact with any area. I would go where there could possibly be a bat, I would think I got rabies. Rabies is extremely rare in the United States, right? I could not possibly have had that many exposures in just a couple of days so OCD kind of gave itself up and that and I stopped believing it, I also had the same problem with driving and thinking I’m running people over, I could not possibly be running someone over every single day every time I drive and I drive a lot. I would have killed hundreds of people by now so it just stopped making sense, those are all obvious OCD. The trouble is when to decipher when it’s OCD and when it’s not.
