God does not hate you. God does not need to scare you. God loves you. John 3: 16-17. God gave even His son to save you.

Call on the name of the Lord, and you will be saved. Is there a trusted counselor you can talk to? Or a therapist?

Not really tbh because my mom is always busy and she says I can go to her with anything but I just feel bad and there's never really a good time to talk.. and I can't get into therapy at the moment.

This isn't me even trying to hate on my mom I just wish she told me something different. She's always telling me to turn to God but God SCARES ME. how am I supposed to turn to someone I think hates me. Anytime I think of anything I do I think "that's why I'm going to hell". I could even play music or lay in my bed and I'd start freaking out which yeah that might be ocd but the times where I completely lose it and start hallucinating is so scary and I can't do it

Trust in Him. Trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding (don't rely on your wisdom), in all your ways submit to Him (surrender everything at Jesus' feet), and He will make your paths straight (He will counsel you and show you what to do). Ephesians 2:4-6 For my GRACE you have been saved thought faith, it is not of your own doing, so that none may boast! Jesus Christ took your punishment away, so that what God looks at you He sees Christ. Do you have a Bible? I strongly urge you to start reading the Psalms as much as you can.

Demonic influence is very real and can attack the mind, however the mind is a very powerful thing in itself, take for example the medical placebo effect, patients healed through fake medicine. That's why we need fellowship with Christ daily and to be intimate with the Holy Spirit in us.

@Anonymous I don't have a Bible. I used to and tried to read it but I'll try again. Thank you

@Vee4 That's good, the Bible is not a physical book but a spiritual one, "man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word from God"; John 1:14 says "and the Word became flesh" Ephesians calls the Bible "the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God". I would recommend you start reading in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John - the life of Jesus from the Men that walked with Him. Remember He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind (Timothy). Enjoy Christ and speak to Him about everything in your heart. God bless!

The Lord will never forsake you. He knows your heart and you can trust in him. Lean on Him. You will be fine. Whenever you get those intrusive thoughts or hallucinations read the Word and sometimes a specific verse may stick with you can recall and turn your focus to for the day. The lord doesn’t hate you, he loves you. So please let that put you at ease. I encourage you to read the bible more if you can just so you can familiarize yourself with god’s true character. I understand some of the things you face with religious ocd. My dad often blames demonic spirits for almost everything and it made me stray away from christianity for awhile but I came back after reading the bible for myself and not accepting everything my dad says concerning christianity. Sometimes you have to just listen and discern respectfully bc they are your parents but just take things one day at a time :)

I had a period of time where I thought God hated me these type of videos helped me out …..there is alot of helpful ones on his channel about religious OCD and how you may have been raised to view God. I posted it in this comment not sure if it’ll show or not but it’s Mark DeJesus “ Healing our distorted God filter ” https://youtu.be/nQAk09Mhn6k?si=Qaf9s5NlfrQOBDRo
