Im coming through one of the most painful experiences in my life. OCD with intrustive thoughts and depression.

Two months ago I was reading something online & was struck deeply by what I read about Solipsism **(dont research it if you dont know what it is?) - **

I wasnt searching for it or about it but it appeared on the screen in front of me I wanted proof that it wasnt true - but couldnt find any absolute 100% certainty that it wasnt.

I immediately rejected the idea but found myself in a downward spiral of obsessions & losing my faith & trust in God?

It was strange but I had trouble focusing on what I needed to & obsessing about what I shouldnt! I take anti anxiety pills as needed but try to not self medicate because I feel it can mask the problem for some?

Im trying desparatley to get back to the faith I had prior to this! I’m glad to say that I’m slowly coming out of it - I’ve accepted that it is just a scary thought & nothing more - but it has wounded me deeply! It just felt like the rug was ripped out from under me?

Ive dealt with weird intrusive thoughts - what if thoughts - fear of death - fear of the unknown! I feel very distant from God! I pray - not as often as I should but I try to!
 
Hi. I am having depression too, and had posted in this Forum for prayer intentions just 24 hours ago…

Am praying, don’t lose the faith (I know it’s tough)!

May God grant you His peace and joy:)
 
Lord,

I pray that Kate(name removed by moderator) finds a way to enjoy the role that she plays in the body of Christ. I pray that she seek her vocation and that this is satisfying to her. I pray that she find people in this life who are able to convince her of you and your glory.

Amen.
 
May the Lord Jesus grant you the peace and confidence to know that these intrusive thoughts will pass and are not worth your worry. I pray that you can laugh off these thoughts as harmless and don’t give them any power over your faith or emotions.

Fortify me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit
and give Your peace to my soul
that I may be free from all needless anxiety,
solicitude and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You
so that Your will may be my will.

St. Dymphna, pray for us

Amen.

I know what is going on . I was diagnosed with OCD/Anxiety disorder 10 years ago. God is not against medication. If you had diabetes would you not take medicine. You need to get help. Soon. You owe it to your kids. I do therapy, cognitive behavior therapy, and medication. I think if your meds are not working you need to get reevaluated by your pyschiatrist. I can tell you I feel free again. I too would obsess on Dying. My preocupation was certain deseases. I am married with a 5 year old and 3 year old. God loves you and like Paul the apositle, this is your thorn in your side. I know that this disorder has humbled me. I can focus on the Lord more and my family and friends. The best therapy is to face your fears. LOVE is all around you. The more you let this go, satan will keep attacking. You can do it. I pray for you freedom from your own mind, because you are a prisoner. If you don’t get help, your children will learn this. PLEASE call your doctor TODAY!!! READ READ READ YOUR BIBLE!!! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Love,

Jill:thumbsup:
