I just now realized that everything I do is more or less an obsession. I am concerned yes but today I had a realization that I am obsessed about television. I had obsessive thoughts this morning about a new show. It features two people who are adulterous but want to work out their marriage. The woman and man are both cheating with escorts. I wondered if I should watch it but if I do, I would only be drawn to it. I wouldn't be a fan of the show, but over time I will just move on and not watch that show. That is how I feel about any show I watch nowadays. Most of television bores and bothers me because of the content. I just cannot believe how much television has changed in the last 20-30 years. I wondered if I can overcome or be healed of obsessive compulsive disorder and just move on. How do I pray for healing since I am obsessed with matters that to me, are trivial?

Hi! Are you wanting to not watch TV and movies at all? Or only avoid the ones that show inappropriate behavior and use inappropriate talk?

You could get someone to put blocks on channels you would be tempted to get into.

And, yes, prayer can help, in my opinion. Find other hobbies and interests.
Thanks for this!

I do watch tv and movies but I am careful for I don't wish to be drawn to the show or movie. I have a specific like and dislike just like everyone else. There are certain shows that I refuse to watch because of content. I like to listen to music and watch clean wholesome films.
