Hi
What you’re experiencing sounds like religious OCD (scrupulosity), where intrusive, unwanted thoughts go against your beliefs and therefore feel very disturbing and “dirty.” It’s important to understand that these thoughts are not a reflection of your character or intentions they are a symptom of OCD. The more you try to suppress, analyze, or fight them, the stronger and more frequent they become. A helpful first step is to label them gently as “this is an OCD thought” and allow them to pass without engaging or seeking reassurance.
With the right approach, especially Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), this condition is very manageable and treatable. Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

I’m really glad you reached out—what you’re describing sounds like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder with religious (scrupulosity) themes, and it can feel very distressing, especially when it has been ongoing for a long time.
The important thing to know is that this condition is very treatable and manageable with the right approach.medications play a very important role in reducing the intensity of these thoughts and urges, making it easier to regain control. Therapy is also helpful, but medications often form a key part of treatment, especially when symptoms have been ongoing for a while.

Next Steps
I would strongly recommend consulting a psychiatrist at the earliest for a proper evaluation and treatment plan. With the right treatment, significant improvement is very much possible.
Health Tips

This sounds like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (religious OCD). These intrusive “dirty” thoughts are symptoms—not your true beliefs. With proper treatment (SSRIs + CBT/ERP), significant relief is very achievable. Please consult a psychiatrist soon.
