Don’t you worry =) He adores you, and knows what’s going on. Tell Him all this stuff. Go to a doctor when you can okay? It helps a bunch if this is what’s going on.

I’m so sorry for barging into this again, but usually if you dwell on these kinds of thoughts too much, you just make them stronger and more frequent. When I go to confession I tell him like this " Father, I have OCD and have intrusive thoughts that I can’t really control as far as I know. They come out of nowhere and they get stuck. They are of a blasphemous nature and involve Our Lord, Our Lady and other holy people. I want to confess if I in any way ever gave into them." If the priest needs more information they will ask you, until now, not one of them has asked me for more information. They actually just say, okay, and ask me to move on.

You see, I just repeat over and over " I don’t want it, I don’t want it". This is what your brain uses to try and cancel out the thought. Try to only say it once. If you give into it too much, and you do have OCD, it’ll become what’s called a compulsion. These can become impossible to control. Research more about OCD ( specifically intrusive thoughts). Getting diagnosed will give you all the benefit. Your doctor will help you figure out OCD thoughts.

read the article and see if this is what you’re feeling. Make and appointment, don’t dwell on the thoughts as best as you can, and trust Our Lord =)

Brianna, also please note most OCD symptoms involve a pattern of using numbers. For example: washing hands a certain amount of times, touching something for a number of frequencies, stepping in and out of, say, square tiles on the floor out in the street or a mall, etc. But don’t get scared, as most people have some level of OCD to an extent, they just don’t even know it because it is so minimal and unobservable for the most part. Simply consult with a doctor (or ask your parents if you’re a minor) for a check-up, it’s an easy visit.

Yes, however there are different kinds of OCD. You see, like I said, in my case, it’s called Pure-O OCD, so I don’t really have any kind of compulsion. It’s called “Pure-O” because it is “Purely Obsessional”. I don’t have the need to count, wash hands, stepping in and out of things, at all. It’s purely about the mental obsessions and mental compulsions. Sometimes, pinching of the fingers, but other than that, nothing physical. So yes, I totaly agree with @CatholicTurk The best thing is to see what kind of OCD you have if you do have OCD, or if you have something else.

Hi!
Just to say that with pure-ocd, the best thing you can do is accept the thought and let it go.
1.I thought xxx
2.What a odd thought
3.let it flow out of your mind.
My psychiatrist told me to visualise a train passing through my mind. It drops off the thought and then picks it up again and leaves my mind.
It was hard to change my thinking now but
now I have no angst about it at all. I will never be fully cured of anxiety (which pure ocd is a symptom) but intrusive thoughts don’t feature in my life (or if they do, I just let them drift away). I don’t welcome the thoughts but I also don’t feel any guilt.
The absolute worst thing you can’t do is panicking and try to stop thinking the thoughts. Your brain will just keep producing them. It’s like being told not to look at something and you have an incredible desire to look.
And EVERYONE has these rogue unwelcome thoughts. Even your priest. Probably even the disciples. It’s just how our brains are react.

They’re intrusive. It doesn’t sound like you’re consenting to them. God mist definitely DOES NOT hate you! God can never hate you. Get a psychiatrist and, if you need, talk to a priest. Try not to be too afraid. God always loves you. I’ll pray for you.

Yes, God will forgive you, so long as you are truly sorry for having offended him, resolve to try the best that you can not to commit that sin again, and, if it was a mortal sin, to resolve to go to confession as soon as possible.
You also have to be willing to accept his forgiveness after you satisfy the above conditions.

I suffered for years and got to the point of suicide so I know exactly where you are coming from. It took my mother begging me to get help before I did.
After a few months of treatment (cognitive behaviour therapy) coupled with short term medication, it hasn’t plagued me since. Part of the healing process is to accept that these rogue thoughts are just that- rogue. They mean absolutely nothing.
I might get a random thought of stabbing my husband while we are cooking dinner. Am I going to do it? No. Do I want to think about killing my husband? No. It’s probably just the synapses in my brain making a connection between using a knife to chop veggies and an old crime film that I watched years ago.
God didn’t leave me during this painful time. He might not have sent me an angel or written me a note but he was working through the undying love of my mother to enable me to see the need of getting help.
Or working through my psychiatrist who helped me to heal?
How do you know that the same thing isn’t happening right now? How many moments had to come together for me to stumble on your message and try to help you?
God would be a very fickle being if a couple of random unwanted thoughts damned you! Trust in Him and His love. There is NOTHING that you can do that He won’t forgive you for.
By all means, go to confession if that gives you peace but I urge you to seek medical help.

Is there even something to forgive?
Remember, you are not a thought.
Look at the Crucifix.

Yes. Thoughts aren’t generally sins and if they are they aren’t generally mortal and even if they are mortal there is no unforgivable sin. Love <3

Yes. If you feel it is grave go to Confession although I’m willing to bet a couple of bucks it isn’t even a sin. Just so we clarify what constitutes and doesn’t constitute sin:
A) Thoughts that pop up in your head (mean things about other people, sacrilegious stuff, sexual stuff) are all not sins yet
B) If you dwell on any of them THEN they become sins. Dwell means that you like the thought and are entertaining it and you agree with it, dwell does NOT mean that the thought keeps popping up into your head for 2 seconds intervals. The key is to reject those thoughts and really really try thinking about something else. If you do so then you have not sinned.
So I’d challenge you to really think if you dwelt on that thought. Also doubt is only a sin if you go out to disprove a Catholic doctrine but doubt aiming to consolidate understanding is not a sin. Despairing of God’s mercy (sorry to say) is a sin though (which you haven’t committed in the mortal sense because you didn’t know it was a sin). So yeah, go to Confession it can only help.

Also this may help you:
God loves you very much and isn’t looking for excuses to dam you, trust in his mercy.
Unforgivable sin= final impertinence
final impertinence= refusing to repent of mortal sins at/to the point of death
Since you are alive (aka have not reached that point of death) and you seem to want to repent of whatever this is your sin is 100% forgivable if there is a sin at all in that regard.
God bless you
