Religion OCD.
I’m on the brink of becoming some kind of crazed fanatic. I’m avoiding talking to spiritualists because the bible says not to talk to wizards. I don’t want to be this person.

I have that problem here and there. What I do is try to read a story from the Bible or a video to distract me and get me closer with god. I’m still a newbie but I know when you’re feeling upset John 14 is there. Or seeking peace ?Matthew 11:25-30. Idk exactly what your religion OCD is about but just know you’re not alone.
@Kk1152 I’ve read the bible just so I could know the facts as a lot of people just make stuff up and I feel it is better to be able to know when they are wrong. I follow Christianity all day long to excess and I know it says do not be overly righteous, do not make yourself over wise. I do it all day long for no reward only a perceived future benefit and it wears me out. I don’t want to become intolerant. I just want to be easy going, live and let live, that sort of thing. I’ve had a long day tbh and my nerves are frayed.
Oh and the AONB. Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Easiest thing to do would be to go to the Lizard. The “coastal path” is worth checking out and stunning is the only word I know to describe that.
It is on the other side.
I used to have religious OCD. Still kinda do. Accidentally thought something bad about God once, panicked thought something bad about the Holy Spirit. Fell into doom. This was recently after recomitting myself to Christ. Since then I pretty much gave up. Unfortunately, it also led to me compromising my morals many times because I figured I was going to hell anyway. I wish I knew what OCD was then. I think it would have saved me a lot of pain. I no longer have a relationship with God, and fear I never will again.
Please help… my religious ocd is now thinking horrible thoughts about Jesus and I feel like I should be freaking out more…
how do I not treat God like a checklist I don’t want to do the bare minimum but then I feel like the more I try to spend time with him / in the word I will unhealthily obsess with how much time I should spend and if this or whatever the situation may be
