Yes, it gives me anxiety to think about eternity how people want heaven or hell because everyday is already hard enough with ocd šI donāt believe in the afterlife at all but it still makes me feel guilty that I donāt want life after death

I always think about that. I imagine myself at hell looking at my family in heaven. I get anxiety when super religious people start blaming with that speech "you're going to hell for it..."

I'm not religious, but I still find myself terrified of the afterlife. Because even if there is a heaven, eternity is FAR too long to exist.

Yes, I had it. And it intensified because of my scrupulosity ocd +I had a lot of bad thoughts about God, now I'm accepting but I feel faithless š¢) I know people w ocd have this, but it messed my mind. Don't forget a lot of people are struggling w this, be strong and kind w yourself. Sending love š„°š„°š„°

iām an atheist but used to be a christian. hereās what iād say about this. if you believe that god knows your truest self and your heart, you never have to fear hell for what you feel inside. a loving god would never create someone who is fundamentally broken inside just doomed for hell. if he loves you, you can rest assured that you have so much goodness inside of you. if you do believe in hell, maybe see if you can reframe it to be action-based. we really canāt control our brains to the level we wish we could, but we can control our actions.

Religion related thoughts
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understandingā¤ļø

Religious OCD
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.

OCD 'feeling real'
I suffer from religious ocd. My only goal in life is to live in God's will and to serve Him - to live and enjoy His eternal purposes & His presence. Jesus Christ is my life. That is my only desire on this earth, this short trip into eternity, and it's being stripped by ocd thoughts and intrusive thoughts 24-7. I have read many times that ocd can 'feel real', and this is true, our minds lie to us because of fear and anxiety we can't and were never meant to carry. I have begged and tormented myself in every way to find an answer from God. I think His answer may be that this is OCD, but I'm not sure. I started therapy again because I am so exhausted and this had stolen so much of my life in a spiral of negativity, depression, and constant anxiety & intrusive thoughts. I have spent about 2 years trying to figure out if my thoughts are real or not, especially with ocd it can deceive so easily as a spiritual matter when in reality it is just a thought, which is confusing and scary to say the least. Can anyone share their experiences with this sensation? No matter what the theme is... Thank you & Praying for your comfort
