If you don’t mind me asking how old are you? How long do these thoughts last for? Do they cause you stress?
If you are saying that that you are 15 years old, then I would say that this could be partly because of puberty. However, Immoral thoughts aren’t something that can be grown out of. Everybody has them in one way for another. Just remember that if you stop these thoughts immediately, then it isn’t a sin. I would suggest that you talk to a priest that you feel comfortable with and that you pray. (maybe the rosary)
You know, nothing against the other posters. But you really should go and see a doctor if you are hearing voices. A doctor has the expertise to help you with this.
If he is hearing voices as a hallucination, then yes, I would agree with you. But it may just be the way he described having unbeckoned thoughts.
Joe, I am going by personal experience and I’m not saying these are the reason’s, just considerations. Do you have any resentment issues? I have a problem reconciling with certain lose’s and they manifest in this way. Tim
The Son speaks to the bride: “What are you worried and anxious about?” She answered: “I am afflicted by various useless thoughts that I cannot get rid of, and hearing about your terrible judgment upsets me.” The Son answered:
The difference between OCD and a Psychotic disorder is the person is not actually hearing voices.
)I’m going to assume you are clarifying and not correcting me, because I agree that they are different. Regardless, I would say the thoughts themselves are not sinful, just like any other thoughts or temptations. And I don’t know myself what to do about them.The difference between OCD and a Psychotic disorder is the person is not actually hearing voices.
The way I think of it is like this:
Have you ever been driving somwhere and started day dreaming, and soon after noticed that you have arrived at your destination without consciously thinking about driving? This is your sub conscious mind at work. If your subconscious mind it complex enough to navigate traffic then it is complex enough to spit up unwanted thoughts into your conscious mind. These thoughts may take the form of voices or phrases. The distinction between hallucinations and intrusive thoughts is that you hear intrusive thoughts in your minds ear. With hallucinations you actually hear these things.
The intrusive voices in your mind’s ear are actually caused by intense desire by your conscious mind to not think about these thoughts. Because you desire you avoid these thoughts with all the fiber in your being, you create a thought avoidance paradox.
Therefore the more you try to avoid these thoughts, and the more you try to suppress them, they will occur increasingly vivid and more frequent. The human brain it quite malleable, it can rewire it’s self. This has many positive and negative consequences. Unfortunately for the OCD sufferer, who usually has damaged receptors for the neurotransmitter Serotonin, they tend to freak out about these thoughts. They may think these thoughts make them a bad person, an unfit parent, or may put them in mortal sin. They try to suppress these thoughts more and more fervently. Because of this the thoughts get more vivid and more frequent. It starts a vicious circle, that eventually causes the person to develop a clinical disorder.
The best way the combat this effect is to recognize when your brain is malfunctioning. Use your reason to deduce when this is happening. Once you recognize the error, just think to your self “Ok, this is just a glitch. Don’t worry about it.” Then ignore the thought.( The thoughts will not make logical sense.
For example: “I just checked the back door. I am 100% certain I checked it. My brain is telling me that I am imagining it, or I didn’t check it thoroughly. It is telling me that if I don’t check it again I am going to be robbed. This doesn’t make sense because I know I checked it. However I want to check it again.”
Trust your reasoning. You know it doesn’t make sense. Just think to yourself “It is a glitch, don’t worry about it.” Even if it tries to make you think that if you don’t check on it, you will be worried about it the whole time you are out. (The disorder LOVES to do that
If you don’t trust your reasoning and check the door again. It will be even harder to resist the next time. Eventually you will be checking to door twice, then three times, then four times. Eventually you will not be able to leave the house because you can’t stop checking the door. You MUST resist it.
The good news is the same effect that causes your OCD to get worse, can also improve your condition. The more you resist, the easier it will be to resist next time. It will eventually get to a state where you still get those intrusive thoughts, but you will have complete mastery over your condition.
Hang in there, Joe. You’re already well ahead of your ‘problem’ by just recognizing it at 15. Will you be a sophomore next year? I teach sophomores. If so, Joe, *GET READY FOR WORLD HISTORY, PODNA. *
I’m a computer programmer, so that sounded kind of funny. 
I often get those intrusive, repetitive thoughts, especially when trying to concentrate on something (like work, prayer, at church (! - I think I get a little scruptulous about that one sometimes. I’d hate to have bad, repetitive thoughts just before Holy Communion), or reading CAF… 
). I guess MyBrain 2.0 will be available in Heaven. not knowing what these immoral thoughts are I cannot give you advice save that you should pray and perhaps go to Eucaristic Adoration. As for the voices, are they audible voices or voices of doubt. Some have suggested OCD, but I would not jump to conclusions, thats only hallucination voices, not inner doubt questions, if thats what you are experiencing. First, this doesn’t sound sinful, it sounds like you are having doubts or something of that nature, again without details I cannot go further. I would recommend that you talk to your parents or your parish priest about this. Trust in God! He won’t put too much on your shoulders that you cannot handle, seek his help! If you are concerned about telling your parents then go see your priest. They are usually somewhat skilled in rudimentary psych and greatly skilled in spiritual matters, so he will be in a good position to help you. May God be with you, to protect you and lead you, dear child of God.
