Should I turn to religion?

Christianity is amazing and cannot hurt you! But I would say don’t rely on it to completely cure you or to pray for it to go away. Pray for strength! And rely on your faith in Christ and also yourself that you can get thru this!

I personally feel a lot more safer believing in Christ. I welcome anyone interested in pursuing a life with Jesus Christ as something as simple as a morning prayer can guide me throughout my day. However, do not feel obligated or forced to. It should be on your own accord and on your own time.

I know Jesus loves me from the Bible and that does help with ocd. He wants me to have a full life. It is my job to do the work of ERP. ‭ Psalms 34:4 NIV‬ [4] I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.34.4.NIV

it's really brave of you to share your journey and thoughts about intertwining your faith with your healing process. 🌟 it sounds like you're navigating a complex relationship with religion and looking for ways it might help with your ocd. i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, but i totally get the search for anything that brings comfort and support. one thing that's been a game-changer for me is this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools." my local ocd support group recommended it, and it's been amazing for providing AI-personalized guidance and exercises right when i need them. also, you might find the ocd stories podcast really insightful. it covers a wide range of experiences and themes, including how people intertwine their faith and ocd healing journey. might be worth a listen. 🎧
