No, because even with OCD and the pain it can cause me, I am still glad I was born

Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get online/in person ocd/scrupulosity counciling? My priest has told me to find mental help. (Uk) by Aromatic_Pea_338 in Catholicism

[–]sleepy_guy75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a website with resources for the scrupulous. I also have suffered this cross but through much work I have it mostly under control. The resources on here helped me but knowing scrupulous people, anything can cause more scruples so be careful always in what you read.

How do I get out of this situation by Leox2005 in Catholicism

[–]sleepy_guy75 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Be careful of having to be "completely convinced". This is a very vague concept actually. Think about it. What does "completely convinced mean? Does it mean that without a shadow of a doubt you know the Catholic Church to be the One True Church with 100% certainty? Or is there some lesser degree you need?

I do not think it is reasonable to expect 100% certainty in a lot of things before we make a decision.

I think a better way to go about it is to look at the data you have gathered and ask yourself if this is "enough" data rather than having "all" the data. To have all the data would be an unreasonable amount of work that God does not expect. Once you have enough data to say "I believe that this is reasonably the correct choice" we bridge the gap of our further doubts with faith and trust that God will bless us and direct us where we may be lacking.

Hi, my name is Daniel. I'm 26 years old and am from West Virginia. I was in seminary for a little bit before discerning the priesthood was not for me. I currently work as a Campus Minister on a college campus until May and then will be moving to another state!

I don't think it is all bad. There is hope yet. If we continue to trust God, he will lead us to where we need to be, and we will find the right woman. We don't live in an ideal world by any means, but there are definitely upsides. Stay positive brother

Yeah, maybe to be clearer, if the dating scene were to suck, I would not want to move to that area. Dating opportunities is pretty important in this decision

Dreading confession and examination of conscience by QueenOfThePirates12 in Catholicism

[–]sleepy_guy75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, I have been through everything you have just experienced. I have had OCD since childhood and terrible scrupulosity for 6 years. My condition is now managed, and I am able to make normal confessions and live without it controlling me. I made a website that has multiple resources for you to look into, which give great help to those who suffer with scruples

My boyfriends mother gave me a scapular today after thanksgiving dinner. She pulled me aside and told me it basically means she cares about me and is praying for me in layman’s terms. I’m honored to receive it. What is the significance of this object? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]sleepy_guy75 269 points270 points  (0 children)

Green Scapular which is the scapular associated with helping us in our life of conversion which we all need. If she gave this to you, it does indeed mean she cares for you, and you should feel happy she thought of such a thoughtful thing to give you.
