Religious OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

So about 2 weeks ago I started having blasphemous intrusive thoughts about God & Jesus! I’ve had them before but they’re hard to brush off because you feel awful and disgusted for even having them. They were “rejecting thoughts” I finally was able to just let them float on by and not pay attention to them. My main theme is doubting God & Jesus but I’ve noticed it’ll switch on me. Sometimes my mind will doubt if it’s OCD! So currently 2 days ago I’ve been getting the blasphemous thoughts again but when I said “I love you Jesus” I heard instead of Jesus it was Satan! I panicked and sometimes when I say I love Jesus and God I hear “I love you S____” it freaks me out!!! I love God & Jesus so much! Those thoughts cause so much anxiety!!! I would never say that thought and I wish it would go away or remove all those thoughts! I Like ughh those awful intrusive thoughts hurts so much! Some times if feels like I think them or say them purposely in my mind! But I try to remind myself I don’t want them! They cause so much anxiety and distress for a reason! It’s just so annoying when it’s constantly changing and throwing other “themes” I try to tell myself this is still in the same category! I had a certain blasphemous thought weeks ago and now it’s a “new” one and I think it’s still a thought it’s just different and maybe that’s how it’s trying to trip me up! But then usually a bunch of them start coming like beating me down! Maybe it’s the themes switching up on me again but ughh it’s really hard! Makes it feel like it’s me but I don’t want these thoughts at all!!! Everytime I say I love Jesus & God those thoughts come and just randomly! I feel like it’s “me” but I’m reminding myself it’s OCD! The more I react the more they come! They make me feel like God is mad at me or He doesn’t love me which I know isn’t true at all! I know He loves me so much!! It’s just so sad that my mind thinks that! Sometimes I feel like He is mad or will leave me but I know that’s not true!! Any advice please 😭

God loves you - you are his precious child. He knows you are struggling with ocd. The more i get caught up in a theme, the worse it gets. Ocd lies and twists things to get your attention.

I get this a lot aswell as sexual thoughts so you can imagine how disturbing they are!!!! My heart hurts because I want them to stop so much and I don’t want them I feel so tormented by them and feel also like I’m thinking them on purpose and sometimes I think I do just to check they are ‘still there’ is that makes sense. I just want to feel normal again. Also when I tried to tell God how sorry I am or I try and talk to him in my head it’s saying the opposite things or some awful things!!! Xxx

man, i feel you on this. those intrusive thoughts can be so tough, especially when they hit on something as personal as your faith. 🙏 it's really brave of you to share and to keep reminding yourself that these thoughts are not you; they're your ocd playing tricks. i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, but i've found some tools that really help. one is this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools" – my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's been a game-changer. it gives you ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. also, i've been tuning into the ocd stories podcast. it's filled with insights and experiences from others dealing with ocd, and it makes me feel less alone in this. maybe these could offer you some support too.

Hi there! Someone on here encouraged Christian people to check out Mark DeJesus online. He is very knowledgeable about religious OCD. Hope this helps! 😊

Religious OCD rejection thoughts

Does any get rejection thoughts about God & Jesus? My current theme is doubting them and I love God & Jesus so much! Yesterday I had a thought about “I reject ___” and it scared me so bad and hurt my heart so much! I’ve had that thought before and was able to move forward and i believe I was forgiven but I feel like my OCD is now trying to latch onto this theme. Any advice? Has anyone had those thoughts to?

Religious OCD - Blasphemous Intrusive Thoughts

Hi everyone! My main theme in religious OCD is doubting God & Jesus! It hurts me heart I love them but I’m trying to remember His love and grace! Recently I’ve been having major blasphemous intrusive thoughts! I’ve had them before throughout my OCD journey but this time it’s kinda hard to let go and they’re coming so hard! They scare me! They can be very mean and just disgusting. Cursing, denying and just thoughts I hate! I ask for forgiveness and don’t always “feel” forgiven! I love Jesus & God! These thoughts hurt so much! Sometimes they make me feel like I want them or I’m saying them on purpose! I feel like I subconsciously “check” & ruminating on them. I know this is a normal and common OCD theme but it’s like sometimes I feel like I doubt my OCD! Especially whenever I have blasphemous intrusive thoughts! Like my brain just thinks “nope it’s you not OCD”. Like it doesn’t feel like OCD but Ik OCD can make it feel “very real”. It makes me feel like God is mad at me or upset! Or He doesn’t love me as much or just can’t be “forgiven” which I know is a lie and not true! I love God so much! Ik OCD attacks on hat we love it’s just my mind will doubt I have it! Please any tips to overcome these thoughts! I feel a lot of shame, guilt, fear, anxiety and sadness for having these thoughts! I know people say “they’re just thoughts” and not bad but they feel like that. Any advice?! Has anyone else gone through this?

Religious OCD

Does anyone feel they say/think there blasphemous intrusive thoughts on purpose? Sometimes I feel like I say them but i reject that! I don’t want to think these thoughts! u would never say them out loud! Apart of me thinks since I thought stop a lot and thought replace a lot thats when it’s coming. I start thinking "don’t think it, don’t think it". I’ll start rejecting the other thoughts but mid way they start going to God & Jesus! Or I’ll feel cursing thoughts coming and I’ll say f OCD or f these lies then it’ll go over to God & Jesus! Then you just end of thinking it. Idk if my OCD is wanting me to think “oh since you thought it you said”. Like Thought Action type thing. Does anyone else go through this? It hurts. i love God & Jesus so much and to think "what if i thought this or said it in my mind on purpose!" any advice?
