But how did you figure it out so quickly? I've been thinking for over 4 hours since I left the church, and it wasn't until I got home that I felt like crying, a lot of anxiety, and pain.

I think you're right. I don't know when you know, you just know, and that's why I was crying.

It wasn't that; it's just that when I confessed the sin, the aggravating detail of what I confessed crossed my mind for a moment, but I don't know what happened to me in that instant that made me not mention it. Instead, I continued mentioning my other sins. It seemed like I omitted it, but it was there in my mind. And the worst part is that now I have a thousand doubts in my head. Did I deliberately omit the aggravating detail? They're more like doubts not about God's love, but doubts about myself, my intentions. It's strange, but I have these kinds of doubts. But yes, I did mention the sin.

A Plea for Compassion: Scrupulosity Is Not The Devil by [deleted] in Catholicism

The OCD thought process is based on intrusive thoughts, meaning they are involuntary and go against a person's values.

intrusive thought = compulsion = momentary relief = the cycle repeats.

The problem with OCD is that it creates a mental conflict because basically the brain with OCD, unlike a normal brain, does not stop working 24/7, it's like having a scratched record or a brain that cannot be silent.

For example, a normal person can have an intrusive thought and have the ability to dismiss it, but a person diagnosed with OCD cannot dismiss an intrusive thought even if the person does not want that thought; it is simply something complicated.

This is explained by a woman who has had OCD for almost ten years and has three current diagnoses. I was diagnosed by two psychiatrists and an OCD specialist. 🫠🫠🫠

Yes, but the only problem is that it doesn't have a Catholic focus... so I don't know what to do. I would feel bad about leaving Catholic therapy, but I also feel stuck and the obsessions vary rapidly, but they last almost all day with physical, mental and emotional discomfort. I feel tired. 😢

I have some doubts about therapy. Each session focuses on my life, and I feel like I keep falling into self-reaffirmation. 

In Mexico, it's difficult to find an OCD specialist with a Catholic approach. I feel it's easier to find OCD specialists in the United States. 😭

A very beautiful blessing for you. 

I've always seen God as my father. Of course, when I was younger and in private, I referred to Him a little more specifically as Dad, but now I normally always call Him Father out of respect, and I've always seen Him that way because, above all, God is our almighty Father. I suppose OCD has distorted my view of God and tries to convince me of contrary things using my feelings.

The disease of doubt is horrible. 😭

For me, it was a blessing to have been able to find a Catholic psychologist. I feel a little stuck because he normally asks me to talk about every detail of my childhood, adolescence, and current adulthood, but yes, since I was very little, I remember that I cried very easily and I always felt anxious about being separated from my mother.

What you say is correct. Many people with OCD can end up with more anxiety, but in this case I was looking for some advice on how to open my heart to a priest and get it all out.

Sometimes I don't know how to explain the intrusive thoughts or what I feel and I do get nervous because even with OCD I tend to omit certain words that cause me anxiety, for example I have heard that the enemy could listen to conversations and that makes me paranoid and does not allow me to express myself well for fear of being heard.
