religious ocd
I have a fear of committing sin and every day I think of going to hell. I have a fear of disrespecting God, knowingly or unknowingly. I realised recently that I only pray out of fear and not because I’m some “devout Christian”. I pray because I feel if I don’t then something bad will happen to me. Everytime i have a thought that i think is “blasphemous” i feel the need to apologised to God. Its to the point where i avoid reading my bible because i don’t want to be triggered or be scared. When i was younger i remember being told that it was a sin to have friends that are atheists. that scared me at the time because most of my friends group were atheists. they often made jokes about Jesus and it triggered me and i thought because i didn’t defend my religion that i would go to hell. i also have these distressing dreams about judgement day and i’m always left behind in the dreams. i avoid talking about the end times because it triggers me. i’m a little scared typing now. i feel like i’ll never be worthy of God’s love, and that scares me. does anyone have any advice?
