Not sure if I should do OCD treatment or if God is convicting me.

Considering OCD treatment to be able to play video games again, but I wonder if I’ve just changed from sanctification.

Considering doing OCD treatment to be able to play video games again. Thoughts?

Honestly, I really do enjoy video games as a form of art and as a hobby.

It does not affect me to go out and sin, but I understand that it is also not 100% beneficial for my spirit because of the violence themes, but like I said it doesn’t make me violent or sin. I just have scrupulosity.

This is something that would make me happy as my OCD affects this, but I am thinking is it worth it to go through OCD treatment to play games like GTA, Mafia The Old Country, Ghost of Yotei, etc.

I’d like someone else’s take on it.

I have always wished to feel free as a Christian that I am “not perfect” in order to feel free to do things like play a video game without any guilt!

I feel miserable to be honest not playing these games because I look so forward to the story-telling and gameplay, and not just for the “violence aspect” or “killing people in the game which is part of the story unfortunately like GTA or Red Dead Redemption 2, Call of Duty”. These games offer fantastic points besides this like the storytelling and protagonists.

It’s no different than watching a movie honestly.

Games have been a big part of my life. I’d be miserable and feel legalistic if I didn’t play and I don’t know what God thinks about this.
