I think that God loves us all as we are. And he understands our anxiety. Even though I get afraid about some religious stuff, I keep telling myself that I know God loves me and he doesn’t want me to suffer. And he doesn’t blame me. He doesn’t want you all to fear him, and he wants to help you through your problems.

I suffer this form horribly, I constantly had graphic images of Jesus in horrible scenarios, had the fear of burning in hell forever, had the fear that I wasn’t fully believing, had the fear that I was an atheist, had the fear of doing horrible vices to god. These are just a few, they truly tarnished my youth and my mental being to this day

You have a heart of gold. You can see it in your eyes. God bless you.

My Grandmother gave me some wonderful advice a long time ago when I suffered from this of course back then we just said it was the devil she told me you can't prevent birds from flying over your head but you can prevent them from making a nest in your hair I've always remembered that.....GOD BLESS YOU

Man it feels good to hear someone talk about it. I am plagued by intrusive thoughts.

"I confessed this to them, but did I really say it in a way that they understood?" Wow. That is my fear every single time. I'm glad to see that it's OCD.

I didnt even know this was what I was suffering from until i looked up why i could be thinking random inappropriate disrespectful things that Id never ever imagine would come in my head bc ik i dont like those things in my head, and when i finally am not thunking about it, all of a sudden my mind reminds me " oh hey i havent been thinking about that thing for awhile!" Then it floods my mind again bc i just reminded myself what im trying to forget....its a whole cycle im trying to move on from...

It's hard but I try to remind myself; God is love. Love is God. God loves you, you love God. Doing things out of love, is doing good in the eyes of God, even if we don't always get it right sometimes. Anxiety is not of God. God loves you and wants you to be happy. It's okay that you don't understand everything in the bible, or sometimes that you don't necessarily agree with some stuff in the bible. God still loves you and God will never stop loving you.

I’m Muslim and I have this, when I’m doing my daily prayers I often find myself breaking my prayer and restarting again and again. Or, once I finish my prayer I think it wasn’t good enough and god didn’t accept it so I redo it. I also get blasphemous thoughts about god and religion and I beg god to forgive me I almost start panicking, I’m afraid that these thoughts may be coming from me. This is ruining my life 😞

The fact that I watched this yesterday and was fine afterwards, but now I’m back because I need reassurance again.

Omg yes, I have this and it's so exhausting. Great video. Feels so good to know I'm not alone. ☺️ We will all get through this!

hey nathan, i have previously suffered from rocd, and you were one of those who guided me out of it, along with faith on God. when i started having very vicious impulsive thoughts, i understood its ocd attacking my faith now, i immediately came to your channel to know more about it, and as always, u had my back. thank you nathan

Wow! Very informative. Im going to show this to my family so they can understand more about what I struggle with.

Ive heard others try to explain this and its been so confusing. Your description is awesome!

Thankyou so much for these videos... These videos are very helpful!

I cant wait for you to release the video on the treatment for scrupulosity! Ill be waiting patiently! 😜

Really helpful explanation about the cycle of ocd and how reassurance doesn't actually help. The mental checking sounds so exhausting!

You're the best! I have OCD and it's really bothering me but watching your video really helped.

I have intrusive blasphemous thoughts that disturb me deeply causing me to pray repeatedly. Fighting them off and the stress cause me to get migraines at this point.

Finally, I have a name for how I have been feeling for years now. That alone gives me a tiny bit of peace bc I'm not alone. Other people struggle with the uncertainty of religion....described to a "T". I have felt so odd. Like there is a secret other Christians aren't telling me. I definitely subscribed! Looking forward to learning more. Thank you.

Just subscribed. Thank you for what you do ❣️

Thank you very much for this. My sister is going through this at the moment and we didn't know it had a specific name. I'm sending this video to my dad to watch. It's been very upsetting and it's been going on for weeks.

You have no idea how genius you are!

Thank you so much for this. I used to have scrupulosity pretty bad and I felt like I had to lay face down on the floor sometimes when I prayed because I needed to sacrifice my comfort to show my dedication to God. I thought I was pretty much over it because I don't do that anymore but I think it's switched more to mental compulsions now. Sometimes if I'm reading and there's a bad word in the book I'll switch it in my mind and say the ok substitute, but if I don't immediately think of the substitute my mind tells me I wanted to say that bad word and I must've sinned so I need to ask for forgiveness. Then I have to ask for forgiveness several times because I wonder if I meant it or if asking more than once will make me more pure.

0:55 Bro, that: "with making sure you do the right thing" was flowing with the beat so nicely! U gotta hop onto em's next track

Great video!

Amazing most helpful scrupulosity ocd video I’ve seen in KZfaq!!!!

Hello! I’m weeping… I didn’t know there was a ‘Name’ for this! And Thank GOD there is!!! I’m glad to know I live in a LOVE/HATE relationship with, well, myself…. I ask for validation to the point of isolation KNOWING others Do NOT see my point of view. Honestly, Iv been quite Sure they would agree with this ‘ unnecessary validation’ Iv accumulated in my head. I’m soooooooooooo glad to know that “this” (Scrupulosity) is even a thing in Existence!!! This gives me hope and I want to RUN WITH IT! 🥰😇🥰😇

I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHY I WAS LIKE THAT. THANK YOU ! I finally know what it's called

Ys...Iam having Scrupulosity. Thanks for d guidance...was really good one.

Thank You! Thank You!!

I struggled with this silently throughout my childhood. Fortunately, I think I grew out of it. I left the faith I was raised in, and focused on developing my own relationship with god as love and god as connectedness. I still deal with anxiety, but discovering my own spiritual path has helped a lot. Thanks for this video, it really helped me understand myself ❤️

I was recently diagnosed with scrupulosity OCD. Thank you for this ❤️✝️

Can you read my mind? I have these exact thoughts!😱

Guys please always remember that no one can separate us from the Love of GOD I did overcome this because I always remember that no one can separate us from the Love of GOD which is in CHRIST JESUS our LORD For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39

i have been suffering from different kind of OCD all my life im scared anxious and hope GOD listens to my prayers...your not alone, better days are coming love from Ethiopia

You just summed up my life in 9 minutes and 13 seconds.

Thanks for this precious video!!! I suffered from this form of OCD since I was a child. And also from other forms such as P-OCD and R-OCD .... I can say, it tears me down and makes me wanna just give up! I hope.......things will get better since I searched for help just very recently. THIS is HELL! It really is ....... And I am so unbelievably sad...cause it makes life unbearable right now. Since I am from Holland and some psychologists don't even know these forms of OCD, I really really hope that I'll find correct help. I have the idea that in the US this is more known since I find more English videos about this topic.

THANK YOU!

This guy explained almost everything that I'm going through I've been going to my mom asking if If I did something wrong I would ask her about it and its really embarrassing stuff and it's hard to explain it a way to my mom and I explain it in a different way and it still makes me fills guilty and I made a promise to God and what its about I can't explain to you but I felt like I've broken it alot and I have had a lot of bad thoughts on jesus and its really making me anxious and when something religious comes up I don't want to hear it and I don't go to church anymore I'm just going through a tough time any pointers on fixing it

i am born into a Christian family i had ocd from childhood ….. i had p ocd , pure ocd and that made me think that i am a monster and i didnt want to pray because even if i confess all the thoughts ….those things come again and i was literally tired with my thoughts and i was soooo scared and anxious...….i took medicine for a while and those things became little okay(but not fully) and now i wanted to be close to god …but i got so many doubts and i felt like i am not worthy and i was soo guilty abt the the thoughts i had in the past and i felt like i am ashamed of being Christian and that made me soooooooooooo sad and felt guilty for thinking like that because i love my JESUS very very much and i dint want to be ashamed to be tht but i had this thought and felt broken ….then suddenly i felt like it may be RELIGIOUS OCD and now when i watched this video its clear …and now i feel relaxed thank u Nathan for this video and THANK YOU JESUS for showing me this...….guys PLS PRAY FOR ME ....

I’ve had OCD since I was 12 but I never had this kind of OCD. I’ve made so many pacts with god after a health scare because I thought god was punishing me for being a bad person because that’s what my abusive ex told me god was going to do. I now stay home and avoid alcohol, dating, friends and doing anything that isn’t considered “good.” It’s been hard for me to accept that it’s religious OCD because I’m afraid of being punished if I do outside and do anything that’s not “good” sigh. I’m trying though.

Thank you, thank you thank you .

This is brilliant. I relate to almost all of this. I have some thoughts on where scrupulosity comes from regarding religion. Its probably where a faith turns into a superstition. Faith is trusting in God who has the power to take care of us. Superstitious religion involves our actions to save ourselves and fearing what will happen if we don't.

Hey, just wanted to open up about my experiences over the past 2 months or so. So, I am in college and I was currently experiecing OCD about the Old Testament and whether or not God simply allowed incest for a certain period of time or if he ordained it, and I still don't have an answer to that, but it's okay. In order to stop myself from going down that road anymore, I heard about this whole Travis Scott incident and ended up getting sucked into conspiracy theories that cause me so much panic and anxiety that I've shut out all mainstream music altogether and I'm only listening to Christian music and lofi beats. I'm ashamed that I've done this to myself and my only wish is that I could enjoy music again without worrying about the "symbols" or "signs" in music videos or being afraid every time I look at the dollar bill.

great video. very practical over theoretical. is the treatment for scrupulosity video coming out soon? can you address new age (you created your reality with your thoughts) spirituality/law of attraction (the universe gives you what you’re thinking) based scrupulosity? it seems like that whole movement and philosophy leads people right INTO ocd.. this is what happened to me and i’m stuck :( it’s taken over my life i haven’t been able to escape the loop. i was fine before i learned that stuff. there’s not much material on this topic. please address if you have time :) also, being “punished” or “not deserving” of things like health or wellbeing because you’re not spiritual or pure enough or “chosen” to deserve it making you become an invalid.. i know this happened a lot with calvinism and predestination in victorian 19th century, and has made a comeback in recent decades in form of somatization disorders. like how to free yourself from those condemning double binds?

Christ have mercy on anyone carrying this burden. I do not deal with this particular theme (my theme is primarily existential), but I know that we are all loved of Him. Be well, guys.

Your my hero thank you God loves you!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

i think i have this, either this or i’m battling a spirit of condemnation. i already am diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder, OCD and major depressive disorder. i am such a loving and empathetic person, but lately i am becoming so so paranoid within my religious beliefs. i have been sinning, and i ask for forgiveness and then worry i didn’t sound genuine enough when asking for forgiveness and repenting, or maybe God thinks i am manipulating him. so then i start over my prayer, then my brain will tell me i am so so so sinful and dirty and then i start stuttering and shaking as i’m praying and say “i’m so so sorry,” and start my prayer over again. then i’ll start to have intrusive thoughts of God hates you or you hate God and then i say out loud no i dont, or, please stop shut up, or, i rebuke that, or, i didn’t mean that God that wasnt me!!! then i repent for saying that and when i’m done praying instead of feeling peace i feel worried and so sosos guilty. i feel like i’m no longer saved. i’m so so worried. i feel like such a bad person. i pray several times a day now. also you seem like such a nice nice very kind man, i wish you were my therapist or i could see you!

I know someone that suffers horribly from this. Its almost constant from the time they wake up until the time they fall asleep. The issue is intrusive thoughts about the Holy Spirit. The person believes the opposite, can't stand the thoughts! Like you say the most important thing to them. I reassure daily. Any advice to make this stop would be so much appreciated! 🥰🙏

I have this but it only bothers me when I’m off my anxiety medication and can’t be comforted by a scriptural explanation for why I shouldn’t worry. I was reassured by our elders that Christians have anxiety and need medicine sometimes. I feel god should always be first and that’s ok. The Bible says pray continually and it helps me know that Jehovah hears me talking to him. Trust me god is loving and understands and cares about our problems.

Yup that’s me in some areas. Some of the thoughts are so ridiculous:)

Yup. This is it. This has been me for the last three months once I got saved (again, again)

It feels good to know that I’m not alone

Felt like I dealt with this. I’ve engaged in premarital sex, but for some reason this specific situation caused me anxiety and was totally convinced God would punish me with an std to teach me a lesson. I’ve been tested and NEVER had one. Though the thought would reappear and say “well God let this one go, but next time you’re gonna get something.” Still never have. Brains are tricky.

thank you 🫶🏽

Please make a video on metaphysical contamination ocd & ways to deal with it

I'm not even Christian or really big into religion but I still have constant thoughts about my higher self do to my OCD. I always have these thoughts of wanting to achieve my best self but I feel like it's also preventing me

I think I have this when am praying I have to pray for everyone in my family and if I don’t I feel like something bad will happen. There’s also times when I have to say please protect me and my family I’ll have to say this 3 times in a row to make sure I said it or if I get distracted I have to start over or if I feel like i messed up I’ll have to start the prayer over

My husband suffers from this and it's very hard for me. What can I do to help myself because I feel like I might explode soon. (He just started therapy a few weeks ago but it will probably take a while till we see results.)

"I confessed this to them, but did I really say it in a way that they understood?" I always think this, but when I'm praying, I think I haven't prayed for it properly, or I got distracted in thoughts, or someone walked in and interrupted, and then I feel like I need to pray again, and lately it's been worse and I haven't been able to feel good about the prayer I've prayed. It's so difficult because I know God hears and accepts my prayers but I still feel like I need to redo it, and I know that's not what prayer's about. It's so difficult. Does anyone have any motivational thoughts or tips on how I can improve?

I have a variation of this, I think. I have OCD tendencies. My obsessive thoughts involve things I did in the past. It’s almost like a scrupulosity variant with regret. I obsessively think about things I did wrong 25 or 30 years ago and wonder if I should confess those things to people from that time, who probably don’t even remember the event. These are not criminal acts but rather silly things teenagers do. What’s interesting is that the events I obsess over are sometimes the most trivial things versus other things I did wrong that you would think I would be more likely to obsess over. Very frustrating

It’s crazy to see so many people who suffer the same the same way I do. I have known about (my) OCD for a few years now but looking over my life I’ve always had it. It just manifested in ways I didn’t catch at the time. Romans 8 is a good book to read if you feel like you not good enough or walk on thin ice with God. Let me tell you he isn’t mad at you 😅 the fact that you even care should be a sign that your a good person and our new covenant with God is based on grace through faith you cant be afraid of something or someone you don’t believe in. Our minds like to split hairs. And don’t feel ashamed that you get mad at God about it. I did too and we have had some interesting conversations because of it 😂. But like any good father he has compassion on he children he gets you don’t understand and he is not mad about your questions and frustrations that was the point of becoming a man (Jesus) there is no condemnation (Rom 8:1) so don’t worry live free he loves you and he has made enough room for every error our minds( and ourselves) could make. Whole point of Easter 🤷🏾‍♂️. Y’all don’t worry so much and God bless you all 🙏🏾❤️

I want to discuss somw symptoms that have been keeping me on the edge.. My ocd started way back in 2016 when i was alone in home.It started with harm OCD and later shifted ro Religious Ocd and scrupylosity During this i faced derealization and depersonalisation as if i was separated from my body. [5/1, 03:00] Dany: My psychic powers memory and creativity increased which made me dive into these thoughts.Now my symptopms have greatly increased .I constantly smell scents and receive a lot of precognitions and dejave moments.Please can u relate to anyof my symptoms

Does anyone get where they pray and pray and think they say the wrong thing while praying? Then you think something horrible will happen to you?

Thank you so much for the help sir.

I feel like I have to be nice. And if I even think something wrong I have to rethink it

This video helped us OCD Community.Thank you man.I know God loves me and he won't let me suffer from this OCD,it's just a mental illness and it won't change how God loves me and how I love him.We all OCD people can get through this through Jesus Christ our Lord❤️

I’ve realized how bad my OCD is and I have it with this too... I didn’t know how bad it was until I started messing up by irrational thinking. I got off obsessing the end of the world was almost here the other day. It’s like I’m stuck in my head. I know Jesus loves me, I just feel so awful for these thoughts and for the obsessions and irrational thoughts and thinking. I don’t want to mess up my life. I’ve been getting voices in my head lately and I’m not sure if it’s demons or mental illness. I feel so torn between reality and the reality in my head. Edit* I also have that, feeling like I’ve deceived someone if I tell them I have to go at 6:00 and I end up going at 6:15 I feel like I’ve committed a horrible unforgivable sin. The ‘worse’ the sin feels, the more I obsess over it, it will send me into a manic episode.

I have a girlfriend who I think has scrupolosity; she doesn’t miss a single service that is available in church; but it’s ruining us because in the beginning she was hiding this but now it’s come out and she told me she is obsessed with church to the point that she took off a day from work to go to a day liturgy; I care about her a whole lot but I’m always second or third even after her priest in this relationship and despite caring for her I don’t know that I can have a long term marriage living this way. I’m religious also but not with this compulsion. I told her to balance better and spoke to her but she feels restricted when I tell her that. Hence we re on the verge of breaking up. Any input anyone????

I dont know how normal this is but i have severe emetophobia but despite being terrified of being sick, due to my alcoholism (used to cope with my anxiety), i got sick frequently and it only seemed to intensify my fear. I haven't figured out how to work with my phobia but i always found it weird and particularly frustrating

Thanks so much for this discussion about scrupulosity. My question is about ERP and this subset of OCD. If I understand correctly with ERP you imagine the worst case scenario and work to prevent a negative response. In a nutshell. But how do you prevent a negative response when your worst case scenario is that you are destroyed? Are you supposed to be ok with that happening? This is my dilemma. Hope you can help Thanks!!

My son has an addiction problem. He is convinced that he is going to hell. He has OCD ADHD, depression and anxiety. He has been through a lot of pain and I think that the addiction opened a door for a stronghold on him. I believe that for the past 10 years demons have been whispering lies to him and now he can't distinguish what he believes or if it's not from him. He has lost all hope, faith, and the will to live because this OCD is about him going to hell and he is obsessing on it which gives him the compulsion to do his addiction. I know he was saved when he was about 13/14. But his addiction started around that time too. He has lost the will to live , can't feel anything no love from or for people. He needs prayers. I hope God shows him that he's been there and that he loves him. Every day he want to talk about his obsession. I don't know how to help him. He says he wants to die.

I suffered this during my childhood but now after so many years I finally understood what it was

I want to say I have this but at the same time I think I’m being dramatic and failing god. I have nasty intrusive thoughts about got almost everyday and they just won’t go away. They have even taken away motivation to do any study and the smallest amount drains me. Sometimes I really think if I’m going to live forever

I’ve been getting obsessions lately of questioning if I really believe in Jesus. Then I would look for that reassurance and at times feel better for a bit but then the obsession would come back. It is rather frustrating. My faith in Jesus is important to me.

This is me. It is so hard. I took a 1 month electronic fast, tire myself out by serving others, ... I'm going to try to focus on doing good not not doing bad.

I feel so understood rn

I'm having this issue where when I see something or think of something whether it's good or not I think of god and jesus saying to my self "I shouldn't do this" but then my issue Come's with when They seem to fused together and become something bizarre,creepy, and so bad that I Think it was my fault and it scares me and it keeps haunting me . Help me please

I suffered from this at a very young age cause so grew up in a religious home I always thought I was a bad person for these thoughts

Please pray for me as well I suffer from intrusive thoughts. They say "I love satan" or "satan is God" but I don't believe these AT ALL and I'm so confused as to where they came from. They came out of nowhere I don't even know how my brain thought of these things. I'm so scared I know I don't mean it I don't know why I have them and I hate them so so much. I want them to go away.

i have this. i love God and really want to go to heaven. its so sad and annoying im having suicidal thoughts just to end it. how do i overcome it it feels impossible please help me im begging you

I have been having bad thoughts about this stuff for a few days now. I have had these kinds of thoughts since I was a kid but recently Its gotten the worst since I was a kid. It feels like my mind is just coming up with bad things to scream at me over. I wish it would go away. I'm looking for videos on this now to hopefully make me feel better. I never talk about this kind of stuff because I feel like everyone I know would judge me. I have brought something similar up to my mom but I made it sound like scary videos are causing it. Its messing with my sleep last night I stayed up way later then I usually would because of it.

I believe that God would never punish someone with OCD, he knows the mistakes you make before you make them and he'll never leave nor forsake you, I bet he knew the day you'd find out your diagnosed with Religious OCD which means he knew beforehand. He Loves you anyway and understands your situation and sees your still want to be loyal to him and return to him. And its not like you "meant" anything unwanted in the brain. He love is everlasting ❤ Hope this helps 😁

Insightful video. By the way, are you Jordan Peterson's son?

Helps me understand what my poor daughter is suffering. 😥

My mother had this. From the age of 5 we had to go through rituals with her otherwise she believed she would die. These included having cold baths, fasting,saying the Lord’s Prayer 7 x7. Being told that my mother would die if I didn’t love her enough has been so damaging. She said God appointed my oldest brother as the head of our house - he used this to sexually abuse me and my siblings. At 58 I have been diagnosed with OCD with Rumination - it’s exhausting and life is an uphill struggle but I have made a decision to fight this ……. Not just accept it . I can’t believe I actually get to put this into words - thank you so much 💜

My mom suffers from extreme religious OCD and has always forced her religion on me my entire life causing me to have religious trauma and has made me hate anything that's related to Christianity or anything Catholic. I want to support every religion but because of her and what she's done I just can't get myself to be ok with anything that's related to Christianity. Sometimes I feel extremely alone and misunderstood because I can never seem to find anyone with the same problem as me. I want her to see a therapist and hopefully she can open her eyes and see for once what she has done to her daughter but of course she doesn't believe in doctors. even when my own doctors, school counselors and teachers asked my mom to get me a therapist/psychologist cause i seriously need one, she automatically said no because she believes that praying to God will heal me. I can't even have a simple conversation without her mentioning something about God, Jesus, holy Mary or anything of the sort. Now every time I hear someone is Catholic i physically cringe and have a strong opinion on them automatically. I really hate it because i know that not everyone thats catholic is as crazy as my mom is but I can't seem to control it. Now that I think about it I don't think I've ever had a conversation with her without her mentioning God. i hate talking to my mom now and avoid her at all cost because of this. It's really upsetting that I can't have a normal relationship with my mother because of this. i just hope i'm not alone in this and that someone can help me. thank you

I recently got religious OCD and the fact that every single thing I doubt and have questions around, this is so tiring and I'm so sad😢 the problem is , how will I ever get treated. Since I started thinking this way, no way i can unsee the way I think about things

I am really confused I was really tensed and frustrated so I went online and I saw it was actually a thing and I think that made me calm down a little but then the thoughts didn't stop .and now it feels like I am the one wanting to think this way and keep asking myself each day.. what is wrong with me Now I just know I don't feel right

Nathan, I have OCD telling me a demon is going to get in me, and that I don't want to be a Christian anymore and it is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with, I'm trying to watch your KZfaq clips for help but it is very very hard to deal with this.

I very much so have it. And I've tried to combat it by experimenting with what feels best for me, like learning about different philosophies,teachings, spiritual leaders and I know I believe in God a higher power but I don't know HOW to believe in that anymore without ruminating obsessively about what that means to me and how I'm going to live by that. I've been trying to meditate and I've been taking sertraline for a while now and I feel only a slight betterment. But it's like I don't know who I am without my ocd it's like I have a sense of loss of identity (I also have borderline I should mention) which I'm assuming comes from this. But it sucks. It just sucks because when I was younger I played by OCD rules but I also had it under control I didn't have to do it always. It's like I was able to negotiate with it. And when I turned 15 I said no more, no thank you I don't want to play by your rules anymore I want to discover who I am and that's when this paralyzing fear that I still suffer with about who I am if not that who always tried to do the right thing and if not the one who always tried to modify her thoughts and behaviors to be who I wanted to be, I feel like I exchanged my OCD into an existential identity crisis. And I'm 31 now, have taken ALL of the medications for both OCD and BPD and also for ADD lol. It's like my brain just wants to make my life difficult for fun. I just want to feel relief and stop feeling this horrible fear that I need to "get it" in order to have a sense of self.... If that makes any sense.

I feel like I have to pray absolutely right and make sure I get everything that I need to cover cause if I don’t something bad will happen or , anything that I didn’t cover will go wrong. Sometimes it takes me 45 minutes to say a prayer that should take 5 minutes. I’ll also pray upwards of 50 times a day. It’s exhausting and I feel so guilty for feeling like this.

i have internalised homophobia and am constantly looking to religious guidance but and developing this crazy ocd of nonstop searching but it’s all linked to me not accepting myself

Well this explains my whole life

I do the excessive praying thing, but the thing is, I'm not even religious! I pray super often, because I'm scared that if I don't, something bad will happen. I beg God to make it so that everything will be alright, and I don't even believe In God! And if i think I said a prayer incorrectly, maybe I could've made God misunderstand what I was saying, I'll have to redo my prayer because if I don't, I'll be so scared. Would that be considered the type of ocd that this video covers?

OMG! I have all the symptoms. In fact I have had it since 2009 or so. I also have GAD and depression. Due to GAD and depression, I sought help from Catholic Church. But no matter what I do I hear sin and sin. When I go to evangelical church I hear sin. Now, I am in tremendous suffering. I am divorced. I have to be chaste for the rest of my life. No lust thought. Now I am destined to hell. Can you suggest what kind of therapist I should look for?

I've been struggling with this for 5 years. My household thought I was crazy and it was just nothing. Now is the only time I knew about this. Please pray for me and help me!

What about feeling like what you do will be paid by family. For example, if you do something as small as jay walk, you kids will be punished? Same thing?

im not religious but im constantly worried about doing the right thing, if i should reply to that random racist comment online or not, if my thoughts are bigoted or hateful, if the things im doing make other people think im bigoted or hateful
