OCD about confessing

[lodius33]

I’ve posted about this issue on this site before but I wasn’t aware of the actual Christian forums OCD thread so I’m seeking advice from this area of the site now.
I want to start out by saying I do have OCD and confessing is one of my themes but my ultimate Goal is to be right biblically but I want to make sure that if I am to confess about this that it is what Im supposed to do biblically and not me acting out on OCD.
This is my situation. I own an Air Conditioning Business. I have one Employee who works full time for me. I started the business a few years ago. The main reason behind me starting this company is to leave behind my current profession. I’m currently a firefighter paramedic and I wanted to find something else to pursue due to the stress of the job so I decide to start an ac business. ( I currently do both bc my schedule allows me to )
Well heres my question :I know in the bible it talks about confessing our sins to others, and being in the light, not lying , leving gift at alter and making things right before we go back, ect ect. Well my main concern is that I want to be right biblically in everyway in my business so with that being said here is my situation
To obtain a Contractors license to have an AC business where I live you have to start by taking a state test in which I successfully passed and then you have to prove proper experience.
The experience requirements from the state are to have 4 years experience in the air conditioning field in which one-year you have to be a foreman in charge of Jobs. Well, This is my issue… I had the working the experience but I was lacking the one-year of foreman experience. So what I did was when I turned my application in I stated that I had the working experience and lied and stated that I had the one-year of foreman experience. When I started my business I really had no business running a company. I really didn't have the experience but I did hire someone who did and they have been training me and I’m still learning from them to this day. I have done very well with my company and I love what I do. I know for a fact that this is what I want to do until I retire. I have had the company for about 2.5 years now .
So I’m wondering if Its biblically Ok to leave this in the past or do I need to confess to the State Contractor Licensing board about what I lied about to get my license.
I do have Ocd and confessing is one of my OCD themes but despite that I want to make sure I’m ok biblically.
What do you think? Is this OCD or should I take action and confess?
This has been stressing me out for so long now. Can I leave this in the past or what should I do?
Thanks for the help!!!!
I need it
I want to move forward but I need to make sure I’m doing the right thing but I also don’t want to lose my business by confessing especially if its not necessary

This is driving me nuts with all this constant guilt

I am sorry you are in this situation! I said a prayer for you. I don't know what to tell you to do except for pray about it, and God will lead you to what you should do. I know how terrible OCD is. I'm struggling with it terribly myself. Maybe someone else will chime in. On another thought, there is a forum where you can ask advice from a chaplain. Maybe they can help you with your decision.

So, you're repetitiously obsessing about whether to confess. I could say confess it to God and move on, but that doesn't really help us when people say things like that, does it? If it were that easy, you wouldn't be here sharing your obsession of confessing what you are obsessing about. (and yes, I noticed you wrote three times) So, you've confessed to God. You've confessed here in this thread. If you give in and confess more, then you are encouraging your obsession with confessing by continuing. And furthermore, you are going to face some problems that you probably don't deserve--but knowing that likely makes it worse. This is a bit like going to the police to turn yourself in for speeding on a country road. I personally hate when I go through this. It is like I checked out some girl, I confess it to God, but then I'm caught with whether I confess it to my girl. Do I hurt her with my confession? Do I risk losing her? If I confess that, will she think I do other things? Would she confess to me? Would anyone else confess? And notice I'm obsessed there too. So, you're already obsessing and confessing. What do you think that says about the thing you are obsessing about?

And no, I don't expect my post to take away any desire of yours to confess.

(only checked this post 8 times myself . . . I so hate that I keep having to come back and change the number)
