Well I just copied a little bit from GotQuestions , Question: "What is scrupulosity, and how can it be overcome?"
Answer: Scrupulosity, sometimes called “religious OCD,” is essentially an excessive and debilitating concern with morality. Paranoid Schizophrenia, Delusional Disorder, and similar psychological illnesses may accompany obsessive religious thoughts or delusions of a religious nature. And sometimes religious eccentricities appear in other personality disorders. Scrupulosity is considered a psychological illness in modern psychology.
Often, those suffering from scrupulosity will focus on one particular aspect of morality, such as sexual purity or blasphemy. Someone with scrupulosity might continually doubt his salvation or go to extreme measures to ensure she is forgiven. He may attend religious services compulsively, pray repetitive prayers for salvation, perform religious rituals until she feels she has done so perfectly, require constant assurance from clergy members, make frequent pacts with God, or obsess over fears of moral compromise...
Mine attacks my salvation , and although I know in my heart I am Gods child , and when my mind is in normal state I am fine and growing well in our LORD , but when I get attacked with the OCD in my mind , it is like the evil one knows my weakness is my mental health , so this is what suffers...
I can not shut the voice down , neither can I stop it by distraction to something else ...Last week it was so bad I was scared to read my bible because everytime I read it , the voice was louder then me and telling me the oppisite to what Gods word is...Thank God these past few days it has gone from the front of my head , I can still hear it now and then in the background , but like I said , the comfort I got when reading that God knows my thoughts was such a relief , He knows that voice in my head is not from my heart , so I get my healing by trusting God , leaning on Him , and what I feel that God is showing me is that I do not have to run and hide from Him in shame , I dont know why I have this and I have asked God to take it from me , but His words as Hhe said to Paul comfort me also " My grace is sufficient " so I rest in that...xox...
