I just wanted to share with you all how happy and full of the Glory of God I am, 5 weeks ago when I was here I was near death, I was showering 8-10 hours at a time and 60 % of my body had sores equal to 2nd degree burns from scrubbing myself raw, I was averageing 32 washcloths per shower and 4 32 ounce bolltes of body was and a family size bar of soap. I was house bound and suisidaly depressed, yes I know I can not spell please bare with me, anyways I forced myself to get out the house but I had no idea where I was going just OUT and I found myself at a church aways from home I have never attended, tho I have always had a strong relationship with God I don't have a strong relationship to religion, so anyways, here I was on a Thrusday and there were a few cars in the drive so I went in, they were haveing a prayer meeting immidealy one woman looked at me and with out my saying a word say FEAR real or IMAGINED FEAR weird eh? and of course we all know OCD is FEAR mostly imaginged.......so they laid hands on and prayed for me for at least 20 minutes I felt such a yoke broken it was unreal and I have been getting better every day since. I don't know why it took going there as I have been praying for years, no I am not totally cured but I belive if GOd wills it, it can and will be done but I will be glad to GLOFIY his name for just how far I have come so far and for all the things he has given back to me, for instance I don't take for granted the abilty to cook, or run the dishwasher, or step outside my house, and my showers are down to 2 hours and getting better every time. I just wanted to share with you all HOW GREAT OUR GOD IS and HOW if we put HIM FIRST in our lives how much freedom he has to offer us. Thank you for letting me share, and for thoes of you who do not belive, I am sorry for all you miss out on but please allow me the right to belive and don't write me bashing my faith in God. THank you for your understanding. is there spell ck on this thing?

That is surely something to celebrate and I am so glad that you shared your story...God knows your heart...don't worry what people say. Your the one who was there and knows what happened to you. You don't need to explain God and He doesn't need us to defend him. No one can tell you what did or didn't happen to you.You just keep writing it down for us.I didn't know why your name was bubblesaway....wow you poor thing! No wonder you were suicidal! Jesus Christ has power in His Blood...

Be willing to live with uncertainty. It is an act of faith.

Thank you for sharing and my faith is strong as well.  Through God we can accomplish all things great and small.  I think maybe you should get out and attend this church or another close by when you feel overwhelmed with the urge to shower and scrub.  Do you think this will help?  My name is Laura and I have a couple of OCD issues and germs and cleanliness are one of them.  I will pray for you and God Bless you and keep you today and always.  Laura

If GOD was great you would never have had the OCD in the first place.  Also, the woman coul.d tell by your expression and/or body language that you were fearing somethingLots of people , including me have asked God to help with our OCD, including me with helping me get ready quicker so I can go to church, and things just get worse.  Now that harldly sounds like a FAIR and JUST God , does it ?

I'm Charlotte and so new to this site that I'm still learning the ropes.

I'm so happy for you. This is a life saving event in your struggles and just keep doing what helps. You were very brave. I believe that one can believe in God and have a great relationship with spirituality and nature. Whatever works for you do it. I'm so happy for you.

I never showered that long. I do feel as if I have to shower and certainly washed my hands if I go out of the house and shop. I even wash all foods, in boxes and cans.

I'll tell you more. I just wanted to say that I'm so very happy that you have found some reassurance and do hope that you are around a young time. How old are you? I've had OCD for years and I'm 66.
