I have your subtypes and have the exact same thing. I really fear I'm going to hell. 3 months ago I was better and felt like God was helping and the new pill was a God send, but now it's not working and I've spiraled out of control. I don't think my husband loves me anymore. I can't work.... I'm debilitated. I'll talk to you more on this bc it seems we are in same boat and I'm so terrified.

Hey there. I've been there. Here is a resource. Please consider reading or listening to the author's lecture on the topic. Honestly, the author doesn't seem to fully grasp ERP but the theological insights here may be helpful. https://www.ccef.org/jbc-article/scrupulosity-when-doubts-devour

i'm really sorry you're going through this. it sounds incredibly tough, especially when your faith is a big part of who you are. š i've battled with a different ocd theme, but i know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel when your mind is stuck in a loop of fear and doubt. one thing that's been a game-changer for me is this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools." it was recommended by my local ocd support group, and it offers ai-personalized guidance and exercises that can really help in moments like these. also, the ocd stories podcast has been a comforting resource for me, hearing how others navigate their ocd journeys can make you feel less alone and offer some helpful perspectives.

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.

I have religious OCD and the thoughts have been becoming really bad. Iāve been hitting myself punching myself screaming quietly if that makes sense pulling my hair out talking to myself nonstop. I canāt even hang out with my family without doing these things or going to another room to do these things, these thoughts of overtaking my life I will always be Christian God is most important to me and Iām so scared because these thoughts are terrible. Theyāre disgusting they never ending. Thereās always something going on in my mind. I donāt understand. Iām scared. Iām turning into a bad person. I donāt wanna dishonor the Lord God, I donāt know if this is just OCD or something else.

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
