This is definitely some kind of disorder I
have. What do you all think?
My problem is religion-based. I started
out by promising god little things all the
time. Like sacrficies. This snowballed
into such a severe obessesion that every
decision I make is based on promses.
Everything I want to do, I get a strong
impulse to promise not to. Finally I was
forbidden by my mother to make any more
promises. That helped a little. But
now instead of promises I ask god to let
bad things happen to me if I don't do
this, don't do that. I can't even tell a
friend a story without battling these
thoughts in my head- thoughts telling me
to stop telling this story now or i'll ask
for bad things to happen to me. I hate
living like this. I can't check my
email, I can't choose what color lipstick
I want to wear, or what clothes I want to
wear without being invaded my these
thoughts. I cry at night from it
sometimes. I can't overcome it and I
can't talk to a priest because I think he
wont understand and he'll think i'm nuts.
I just wanted some people to tell me what
you think is wrong and what I should do.

My father is a pastor. I'm
.D.E.F.I.N.E.T.L.Y not an expert, but i've
heard of this kind of thing before. In
fact, I went through something very
similar. I feel strongly that this was
satan trying to take control of my mind
and trying to get me to go against .God's
will by trying to make him do mine. The
way I got over this was to think really
hard at night and pray carefully for .God
to clear satan from my mind and thoughts
and ask .God that his will and his will
alone be done in me. After a few days, I
felt better. Once in awhile, I get a
feeling like this again and all I need to
do is say, "satan, get out of my thoughts.
I belong only to .God. " I hope this
works for you.

I actually think that you may have a case
of ocd, there are many cases of ocd that
are religion based, it can be treated with
medication I would try and talk to a
family doctor for a correct diagnosis
