God may be real, God might not be real, but he’s real to me :). I went through a few years where I was pretty much atheist after being raised in church. I was angry at how people twisted things and made stuff up about religion. I was so angry at how judgmental, hypocritical, and ignorant people who claimed to be devoted followers were. It took a long time honestly, but I eventually came back and realized that I shouldn’t let those people taint my relationship with my God. He might not be by definition the God they follow, he might be 🤷🏻♀️, I really don’t know, but he’s a God I’m comfortable with following and believing in. Full of empathy, love, kindness, and understanding. I don’t know anything for a fact but I’m okay because even though it took nearly a decade, I finally feel comfort in the thought of a God and not fear. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now, I went through a terrible existential crisis before I was diagnosed and in the end I decided to just shrug. It might end 🤷🏻♀️ but I’m going to continue what I’m doing because what’s the point in wasting away time that I could be present in. I forced myself to think about the present and not the future. It was hard and I failed a lot but I eventually was able to breathe at the thought of the unknown because I was okay with the present. Anxiety isn’t a problem of the present. It’s always brought on by the past or the future. Stay in the present. You’re strong, even if it feels hopeless hang on to that strength. You’re never alone.
Watch nathan perterson youtube channel ocd-anxiety he has a video on Existential ocd and how to do ERP for it
God's real. No matter what god you pray too. The OCD struggle is real. I understand it all too well. It's stressful. You can achieve your goals. You just need a therapist to help 100%
@Glitchgkojdyu! How did u really get that strong faith!? I envy that! What about the whole evolution theory?
@sophielove I prayed to jesus and he returned my prayer blessing me with £80. I prayed to Allah and asked for forgiveness and got gifted a book. Turned a page it said Allah forgives. Now I pray to Ganesh and hope he removes my obstacles. I'm not clued up on it. Happy to hear all about it.
@Glitchgkojdyu! But I thought there was only one God?
@sophielove Well I believe god has many names. No matter who you call them they'll still answer.
Certainly, everything in this life will eventually come to an end, but there is the promise of an eternal afterlife. According to religious teachings, it is up to you to decide where you wish to spend eternity. To secure a place in the good part of the afterlife, such as Heaven, it is essential to perform good deeds and lead a virtuous life. This makes setting and achieving goals in this life incredibly important.
I need help! Can anyone tell me if this sounds like Existential OCD? For the past year or so always think “what is the point” about so many things . This started because I realized me and my husband don’t have any friends, so every time I try to exercise or look nice I start thinking “what is the point, why do I care to impress random people” I don’t know .. it’s so fkd I hate this shit I need help or I’m gonna end up killing my self
*Huh!? Whats the point in doing that?* WHY? My mind has decided it will ask me this question whenever i'm doing ANYTHING! For instance; *I'm at work* - Why am i here? To earn money - For what? House, car, clothes? - For what? Well i dont want to have no money and live on the streets? - Why? Coz i'll starve and i dont want that - Why? Because evolution has taught me to survive - Why survive? I DONT FUCKING KNOW Like obviously when you look at life in the big picture, thousand years from now my life won't matter. I love my family, friends etc but what am i here for? To work, have a couple holidays and nights out a year and grow old and die? Since i had this awakening i can't seem to dismiss this belief. Anything i do seems pointless, because i look right through it to the core and say why am i genuinely doing this and the true reason is never justified. Whether it be for fun or health...what does it matter in the grandscheme..NOTHING. 'So why do anything' is my brains new logic. Anyway, i know ERP would be to except that lifes probably meaningless and i'll never get a minutes peace in my life because i'll always be reminded by this fact but is anyone dealing with anything similar? Cheers.
Existential OCD Bit of a rant... Are the majority of people unaware of how meaningless their lives actually are or are they aware but think fuck it and carry on? Example; Saving up to go on holiday Brain "why would i want to go on holiday? You're going to work all year, to go to a warmer part of the world for 1 week and lie around sun bathing, maybe get drunk a few days and fly home?" .... As much as i don't want to look at it that way, its true. I look at it right at its core, what it truly is. I can do the same with life... My brain - "whats the point in working all year, every year to go on a few holidays (warmer parts of the world) in my life, have some good times to die, like whats the point in that?" And im baffled because its true. I'd literally go on holiday to see some pointless monument or get drunk like i could anywhere, eat food i could get anywhere (nowadays) Am i supposed to try and stick my head in the sand and pretend its not a thing or do people just accept it and get over it and live their life knowing its quite meaningless. Its just so annoying that i question 'why' am I actually doing this. Does everybody ask themselves these questions? I can't believe its took me to get to my late 20s to realise this. Its like BAMMM everything you've ever thought was cool or fun actually has no meaning to it. How do people continue to do their daily lives, care free without feeling what they're doing is pointless? I suppose i have a few options; 1. Its true but accept it and get over it. (Currently trying) 2. Freak out forever about it and become depressed 3. Freak out and try and find purpose desperately before realising there is 99.9999% no point in my life (tried) 4. Other..? Anyway, ye any thoughts would be appreciated ??♂️?? Cheers.
