Hello everyone,

I have been struggling with religious OCD for the past few months. I watched a lot of condemning YouTube videos and turned from specific sins because of them (cursing, masturbating, etc). But I realized I did those things not out of pure love for God and all He has done for me but because I was trying to prove that I'm saved. Is turning from certain sins and doing good works a common OCD compulsion? Is wondering about your motives (did I do that because I love God or am I trying to prove I'm saved) a common obsession?

If you've experienced something similar I would love to hear.
