OCD often fixates around two things: 1. What we value and care about the most. 2. Things that we can’t find absolute certainty around. Religious OCD / Scrupulosity is a common OCD “theme” that brings with it much distress, worry and doubt. From their prayer not feeling “right”, to worries about offending G0d, to wondering if they are sīnning, to having an intrusive thought during prayer or worship…the fear and discomfort can be high! Of course, having faith and praying for protection and support does not mean you have OCD. However, if you notice your prayers are becoming obsessive loops, or you’re feeling like you MUST pray in an exact way or else something bad will happen and you’re responsible, this may be a sign your OCD rather than your faith is running the show at the moment.
