But I came to the realization it wasn’t because it’s my inner monologue and not a voice telling me. It’s one of the scariest parts. My thoughts used to be what if and I think ocd tried getting smarter and taking that part away

@Windte My brain is always trying to tell me that I am probably going to hell. My whole OCD focuses on fear of slipping up and losing my salvation and going to hell. But it is not true, though!!! If your brain is telling you those things, remember that it is not true! OCD’s job is to lie to us and deceive us and make us miserable and unproductive. OCD works very hard at doing this to us. But we can try not to believe the lies

@Kaila Conquerors OCD This is very common for OCD. I have had similar issues. You would be surprised to find out just how many people with religious OCD have had similar experiences. It’s just so common. You are not alone, and you are okay. The answer is most often ERP therapy. You can do this through NOCD. I got really good training from them.
