I have prayed for you. I have no advice for you, as I do not know you or your situation, except to say that God is more merciful than we can imagine, and please try to believe that. He is not an Ogre in the sky waiting to punish us. He loves us immensely. Perhaps it would help if you Would pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet.I am a 35-year-old woman with an extreme fear of death and doubt of God’s mercy. I always think I am dying and God is going to punish me. I conquer one “ailment” I believe I have and then it is replaced by persistent fear of another. I am taking medication for obsessive-compulsive disorder and have seen a therapist regularly, but nothing seems to work. Priests don’t help either. I need advice
I will keep you in prayer. I have a neighbor who struggles with the same ailments as you. Not an easy cross to suffer. But you can try what a priest suggested to me a few months ago. I was going through alot of spiritual warfare when my dad passed away. He said we have spirits that protect our wounds so that we cannot have true freedom of spirit to do the will of God. He suggested that everytime a spirit tells you a lie to bind it up in the name of the shed blood of Jesus and think of the opposite virtue and repeat for the Glory of God, The glory of the Son and Glory of the Holy Spirit to be healed of this spirit.I am a 35-year-old woman with an extreme fear of death and doubt of God’s mercy.

Hi, Look into St. Faustina’s life and the Divine Mercy Chaplet and maybe prepare for the indulgence for Divine Mercy sunday. This has helped me alot when it comes to doubt. He wants you to trust His mercy. We are drops in an ocean of Gods mercy, but we have to accept it. Listen to the Priest’s, even if it seems shallow or silly. Pray the Lord speaks to you through them and be obedient. Doors will open, just knock. Prayers out, TimI am a 35-year-old woman with an extreme fear of death and doubt of God’s mercy.

:knight1:I have a relative who has had OCD for the past 14 years and has been taking medication (Paxil) for it. He leads a fairly normal life but occasionally struggles with it. I’m not competent to offer you any advice but will keep you in my prayers. Hang in there God loves you.I am a 35-year-old woman with an extreme fear of death and doubt of God’s mercy.

I am not to sure what to say to you. The best advice that I can give is not to give in to all of those thoughts of death. We all have a time to go, but if we all dwell on that we all would not have a life. You have to enjoy life! Try to keep yourself busy, so your mind doesn’t drift and start thinking about that. My mom started to have anxiety like 8 yrs ago. She is not the type medication. She will take her meds when she really felt that she was going to loose it. Now she keeps her meds in her purse, but doesn’t take them daily only on an emergnacy. She controls herself by prayer. My mom prays a lot! She feels that anxiety, and some mental illness are mind games. You have to take control! I hope this helps. I will pray for you.
