OCD

Thanksgiving and I’m worried I’m gonna over eat and feel like Gods telling me to fast but I never know when or how long and when I’m fasting I just have anxiety the whole time but I think I have a good addiction cuz I always think abt it and I try to not over eat but whenever I’m hungry I’m like oh I like HAVE to eat so I don’t starve myself and over indulge later but it’s okay to be hungry.. idk why I always think I have to and go to it for comfort instead of Christ but deciding the boundaries and what not is hard. And it’s a sin if I ignore it and just keep doing what I’m doing I think it’s an idol cuz I can’t fast and deny my flesh for a certain amount Of time

Ocd always lined up fasting during times togetherness and bonding and it was always to steal joy from me It was a constant battle for me and the ocd put a wedge between me and celebration and togetherness I realize personally i will focus on love healing and togetherness just be kind to yourself and everything will fall inplace in due time in his strength i hope this helps and im not telling you not to fast just my personal experience !

@G C So faith is not fear base and compulsion to it so if your doing something to prevent a possible accident. Thats OCD. Faith to me is litterally living and not allowing thoughts to controll me . I used to be consumed by pleasing God til i realized He doesnt want to control me and his voice is actually moments and being present and that im blessed where ever i go so with that specific thought i would say personally God goes before me i dont have to worry. Remembering his stregth actually means we rest from the worries of this world were to pray then believe we recieved what we asked i no longer pray over every fear because i personally realize its ocd and ill litterally say this is ocd but if i have a need i tell him them go about my bussiness and do what i can and the hard stuff i allow it to fall in place on its own I had to reinvent my relationship with God because i wasnt living in freedom but shackles because OCD caused me to fear i wasnt doing enough When its quite the opposite im to rest in his love and were commanded to love its his greatest commandment maybe start testing your thoughts with does this thought fear based or does it bring me closer to people is it uplifting or is it controling

So fasting is something that you learn and not suposed to be guilt based Fasting in any duration is a time to be with the lord in prayer and deed A cheerful heart Gods doesnt load us down with burdens its a slow growth of understanding thankfulness and love ocd lies and commands perfection guilt and shame in my experience i went through that same battle and now i make small goals with the understanding it takes time and will not allow shame the i fell short the mind and body takes time to create new habits

OCD or something else

I have religious OCD and the thoughts have been becoming really bad. I’ve been hitting myself punching myself screaming quietly if that makes sense pulling my hair out talking to myself nonstop. I can’t even hang out with my family without doing these things or going to another room to do these things, these thoughts of overtaking my life I will always be Christian God is most important to me and I’m so scared because these thoughts are terrible. They’re disgusting they never ending. There’s always something going on in my mind. I don’t understand. I’m scared. I’m turning into a bad person. I don’t wanna dishonor the Lord God, I don’t know if this is just OCD or something else.

Food OCD

I have an ocd over food. I can not feel full if i don't have the last grains of rice and I should count. Before, I got a real bad stomach ache and nausea so I should eat on track. But one of my weirdness appears as time goes on that thing I mentioned and how I have to wait until certain time to swallow and digest the food. It's as if I keep myself for not reccuring anymore. It's so strange, if I don't follow it I would get sleepy and can not concentrate. It's like time really matters to me. And my head becomes weird if I don't listen to it. I wanna fight it but I think I can't. There are times even when I got staggered and wanna fall. Anyone here fighting over food ocd and signals in your head?

I don't know how to combat these thoughts tbh

Dealing with ocd since age 7 on and off it's all good until it gets spiritual but I'm like how can God forgive these thoughts that feel like they're coming from me? I was binging cookies and I already thought I'm going to finish these as soon as I pick up the cookie- God wouldn't like that. You know you're destroying His temple. And then a random thought. I'll do what I want. Worship how I want. Bruh what??????? Is this what He meant by Haughty spirit? And if i chalk it up to OCD will I be considered of flattering the Lord with my lips (denying it verbally that it's OCD) but in my heart there's malice? Is it dual mindededness any theologians here?
