No not at all. This isn’t normal for Christianity or non Christianity. Although the opportunitist in me is seeing a way to use this to your advantage 😈
yikes. that sounds scary?? i can totally understand why that would make you uncomfortable. it sounds like they’re both engaging in beliefs that are distancing themselves from the world and you. idk what’s normal but i can tell you that i don’t think their behavior is okay especially if it’s uncomfortable and worrying to you. i wonder if there is a person/group of people in your life that you feel like you could talk to about this. therapist comes to mind, but also like a good teacher that you connect with or another trusted person. calling you the chosen one is a little beyond the average fanaticism.
I can indeed relate to this on some level . My parents are both conservative Catholics and we def have strict rules set at home - church weekly, joining on family stuff, but def not crazy and I have my boundaries considering I am 18 . They’ve always encouraged me to become a priest , which I am opposed to only bc I want a normal life and don’t get me wrong I believe in God, just not religious the way they are . But, it does bother me the fact that they only rely on God for all problems and o can’t come to them when I’m in a mental health crisis. They’re not very open minded ; not to mention, I’m also gay which is scary for them to find out bc who knows what they’ll do.
this is def not normal.
No offense, but you parents sounds really delusional, they may go through some sort of psychosis. I would get away asap or find help for them. This is defined NOT normal.
So not normal to the point where I can’t tell if this is a troll post or not. That’s how not normal this is. Is there a chance ur parents could be in psychosis like… whaaaat (This is all in reference to them calling YOU Jesus and chosen one)
Yeah but you’re parents saying all that does in fact sound scary 😂maybe just try talking to them aboht it
I keep randomly getting scary evil/ demonic images or thoughts in my head. I can’t specifically describe how or what they are but I just feel scared & unsettled I feel like I’m possessed or that a devil is controlling my mind or something! I’m catholic I haven’t really been that religious but I’ve been so scared that I started praying to feel better and I feel like I need to pray to make whatever this is go away. I never believed in possession I’m more of a scientific based person however I’ve reached the point where my beliefs aren’t firm anymore I feel scared I don’t know what to believe it’s like I’m slowly believing my mind is being controlled I’m scared :( is something severely wrong with me? Is possession / devils real? Do I have a severe mental illness am I going crazy / developing psychosis or becoming delusional?? :(
I have a talent for singing and it’s been what my life has been about since forever. My religious mother once told me “you should only use it for God since he gave it to you, if you don’t you’ll be punished.” and “one day you’ll wake up and your voice will be gone, and you’ll be like everyone else.” For the next 9 years I went on to be scared of everything I did, wondering if that would be the reason I would lose my voice and my talent and then I’d have nothing and BE nothing. In my little 7 year old mind, I interpreted that as “you’re nothing without it and God can choose to make you nothing if you mess up.” So now, I live in constant fear that one day God will punish me by taking away the one thing that makes me ‘something’. Today, my little brother started singing and I could hear that it was good. For some reason I began to get so scared that I had a panic attack, thinking I was going to be replaced. I have severe abandonment issues so I always thought I had to preform or do something amazing to deserve love, and singing was that thing. I was so scared that this fear I felt made me narcissistic I began to shove my own feelings down in a way to deny it and prove that thought wrong. I’m not sure what I should do, I don’t know if it’s normal to feel like this, but I feel like an absolute monster for feeling this way about it. Now my OCD won’t let me rest and keeps telling me that I’m such a narcissist for being “jealous” even though I’m just terrified that I’m going to be forgotten. Has anyone else ever been in a situation like this?? Can anyone help me? I’m just at a loss right now.
I keep seeing things about end times. I have always suffered with OCD about religion. Like solar storm/solar eclipse knocking out cell phone service and the solar eclipse happening. Does anyone relate??? I feel so alone I keep talking to my boyfriend about it but i don’t think he understands what I am going through mentally from it.
