I am a very devout (at least I think) Maronite Catholic Christian teenager. Recently I realized I have an issue with scruples (again, can not confirm because what if that’s not true and I am spewing lies). I have not been diagnosed with anything, but I never really had a test either, but I would say I have OCD, or at least am scrupulous. To make matters worse, reaching confession is not very easy and we have a hard time to make it. To add even more to that, I made a foolish promise to God and while I haven’t broken it, I don’t know If I will be able to keep it. Even worse, I cannot tell if I have sinned because even if I rule that I have not sinned, a voice in my head always goes “what if you did and youll only figure out when you’re dead.” I cant tell if that’s God trying to warn me or Satan deceiving me, and I know God loves me, but I don’t want to disappoint him, because I love God.

Sorry if I did anything wrong, this is my first post and is in an attempt of desperation to reach out to other Catholics for help. Please tell me if something is wrong.

Please talk to your Priest about your anxieties, and seek out a therapist who is placed to help you.

I’m sorry you’re struggling ❤️ you don’t deserve to be. That voice in your head is completely wrong. Please reach out to your parents, your Priest and a therapist. They will all be able to support you.
 
Thank you, I really needed that. I will try my best to reach my priest.
