Is it a sin if you watch a show that you feel like God is telling you to not watch it?

I will admit, I have anxiety for 2 months. I had intrusive thoughts that caused me to go coo-coo. I still watch South Park because it makes me feel good when I laugh at the humor. However, I don’t feel as good watching it compared to 3 months ago, I feel like it’s God telling me to not watch this but I feel like it’s really me talking to myself and going dramatic.

If you are having intrusive thoughts and anxiety, the best thing would be to speak to a priest.
 
I don’t have them anymore, but I feel like I still have some leftovers. Like this one, where when I try to watch a SP episode, my chest feels like it’s tight and something tells me you’re committing a sin by watching this show. I don’t know if that is actually me, or perhaps it’s God and I’m scared because if it is God, I’m ignoring his commands but then again, it could be me going insane.
 
I don’t think you’re insane, but it does sound like some runaway anxiety. I do think that getting some one on one help from a priest might be wise.

My personal take is that South Park is fine if you’re a mature adult who is capable of remembering that it’s just a cartoon and not a model for your own behavior.

Thanks buddy, I’m just scared of rejecting God’s command. I love him, but I think he would want me to do anything as long as it doesn’t cause you to sin. 90% of shows nowadays show blasphemy, LGBTQ, abortion, etc. which are also sinful so I don’t think we should shut the door to everything in the world.

Intrusive thoughts may be a sign of an anxiety disorder. Please consult with a mental health professional.

I don’t have them anymore, I simply stopped thinking about it and if it comes back, I would remember it’s Satan trying to mess with your head.
 
If you are violating your conscience or if you think you are ignoring The Holy Spirit, it’s not a good thing.

I suggest you speak with a priest.

OR just listen to your conscience and stop watching the show. 🧐

God Bless
