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.
Hey, I’ve been trying to grow in my Catholic faith, but my ocd makes it very hard. I read a passage about a saint going through a great ordeal and start panicking that I need to give up everything and be martyred painfully. I seem to always hyperfocus on unhelpful book passages that make me afraid of God and see Him as a tyrant. I admire those who can read others words on faith, but I get suicidal, self harm, or turn away from God because I get sucked in so deep. That’s the obsessive part of ocd. Do you have any tips on how to get past this?
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
