Guest guest Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 Well, like with all OCD, scrupulosity can differ in people but generally means it is worrying about sin. With my son, at one time he was being a bit too literal about the Bible, trying so hard not to sin, to follow it exactly or he'd go to hell; he also was mentally making all these impulsive/compulsive promises to God (this resulted in his not eating - promise not to eat ham, not to eat anything with " X " in it, not to drink water, no sugar, no milk, no dairy, no yeast or something...list went on) and worrying because you are not supposed to make promises to God and then breaking a promise(??!!)....was worrying if he had a mean thought about someone (sin).... Right now he constantly has blasphemous thoughts so is constantly asking for forgiveness, sure he will never make it to heaven.... Plus just the usual " sin " worries apparently. > > > In a message dated 9/27/2007 8:18:30 A.M.
