Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a relentless condition, the primary symptom being the occurrence of terrifying ideas, images, and urges that jump into a person’s mind and return again and again, despite the individual’s attempt to remove them.

Christians who suffer from OCD may grapple with additional guilt, as the undesired thoughts are frequently of a spiritual nature. Yet people may be surprised to learn that some of the greatest leaders in Christian history also struggled with this malady. What did they experience? How did they cope? Were they able to overcome these tormenting, often violent, obsessions? Where did God fit into the picture?

Ian Osborn shares the personal accounts of Martin Luther, John Bunyan, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, as well as his own story, in exploring how faith and science work together to address this complex issue.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder – OCD and Obsessions With the Past  

Posted on by

Article by Derek J. Soto







Usually people with OCD don’t obsess over the past, they usually obsess over now and the future. They usually try to do things that will prevent bad things from happening like performing rituals.

However, sometimes when someone obsesses over the past, they may have had a tragic experience and they will perform rituals now in order to try to prevent the same thing from happening again. Although the rituals is usually not rational and would have no realistic affect on stopping the event from happening. This is the type of OCD where a person does rituals based on the past.

What can be done about this? The person needs to realize that what is in the past is in the past and that sometimes bad things happen, even to good people. What they need to do is to realize that the rituals that they are doing are not going to prevent the same thing from happening again. They just need to move on.

Moving on is part of getting over OCD. Getting the skill to get over something and let it go is vital in becoming OCD free.

People with OCD not only sometimes hoard things and stuff, but sometimes they hoard thoughts and rituals. They may keep adding different rituals to their routines making it harder for themselves. I have seen a lot of people say that the rituals are taking so much of their time that they barely have enough time in a day to fulfill them all!

Take action: right now, realize that the past is past, just let it go. You are going to feel anxiety once you truly let it go, but after that subsides, there will be peace and a weight will be lifted off your shoulders and you will be well on your way to learning how to become OCD free!
