I have a couple of rituals. One is the candle light ritual. Every Friday evening I light a candle and try to remember what has happened in the past. I started this ritual in 1999 when I lived in Atlanta. Since then I have had this ritual in many places such as Miami, Los Angeles, Belgium and many other places in the western world. Today I got new candles at one flea market, 10 candles was just one euro, so 10 cents a candle.

As part of my ocd I used to have lots of “rituals”, but that seems to have gone when I fell ill 2 years ago prompting the doctors to diagnose me with schizophrenia.
I have OCD rituals and compulsive behaviors that I do throughout the day. I basically have to do the same thing over and over again each day. Some of my compulsions directly relate to my intrusive thoughts which is part of my OCD. I won’t go into them here as they are religious in nature.
My OCD commands a lot of rituals.
Not as bad as they did when I was younger,
But I still feel pretty controlled by them.
I don’t want to go into details, but they dictate my day a lot of the time.
I had ocd when unmedicated, I was praying 20 times consecutively, I thought God didn’t hear me yet and that the more I pray the more benefits I get. Risperdal 4mg stopped my ocd, catatonia and positive symptoms.

I am not a member of any religion but I pray.
Not because I think I have to but because I want to.
I want to say thank you for all I have.
I want to say thank you every day but don’t daily.
I seem to have similar beliefs as deepak Chopra and morgue but am not in any religion.
Can’t think of any rituals I have.
When I was a Muslim I had rituals often.
Five times a day.
I prayed and did wudhu that often.
I tried to be a Muslim because I had a boyfriend who is one but it’s definitely not my religion but there’s some beauty to it but some not ok things to it too.

I have few. They are, sadly, not the same ones Baphomet likes.
