While on her mission, Miranda Larsen experienced constant feelings of unworthiness, leading her to believe that she needed to repent over and over again for everything she could think of. She questioned her decision to serve a mission and go through the temple, convinced she wasn't good enough and God was angry at her.


It was at this time that she received an email from her mom, who suggested she may have a manifestation of OCD called scrupulosity, or religious/moral OCD.


Over the course of the next year, Miranda began seeing a therapist and taking medication. This completely changed her understanding of herself and God, and enabled her to begin her path to recovery.
