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.

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

so i have ocd but this is the main theme ive been dealing with for the last few months, im obsessed with my mortality and i feel trapped by the reality of death. i dont really believe in an afterlife which makes it scarier, not that i dont wanna my brain literally just wont let me. but i have daily panic attacks thinking about death all day, its honestly the toughest thing ive ever dealt with. does anybody have any tips on how they manage this if they have ever dealt with it? not looking for reassurance, just some non compulsive ways to kind of lessen the grip of the fear.

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.
