hi. my OCD has been particularly exhausting lately. i get so frustrated because people don't understand what we go through every day. i was wondering if anyone on here has religious/moral obsessions. if so, do you have any advice? they consume me and sometimes i don't know how much more i can take.

i'm so sorry you are struggling.Are you in therapy and on meds?

i too have religious obsessions,especially at night,trying to fall asleep.

The only thing i can tell you is that what OCD does is prey on the fact that at your core you are a good,decent person,the thoughts go against your true character.

i know that is not really advice,i'm struggling too,and working through these,and my other obsessions in therapy....

i hope that if you aren't already,you can get some help.

you have all my empathy.

thank you so very much for your kindness and empathy. i'm so sorry you also have to live with these thoughts. there's comfort in knowing that i'm not alone. :) i'm in therapy and i'm taking meds, but they are all for different anxiety things haha. they kind of hoped that all of it would help the ocd too i guess.

I also wish people, especially my husband could understand my anxiety disorder. It's frustrating.
But they don't. Prozac helped my OCD. But everyone is different.
