I have been going through the same thing. I found I was looking at too much social media posts with so many different people talking about it now. What helped me to feel better was the older generations saying people have been saying this since they were young. I keep thinking to myself ..no one knows, but then I can’t help but worry about it. I’m trying to avoid being on social media due to the amount of comments.
People literally do say this all the time. Have been since I was a kid. BUT, if you’re a Christian, and I’m assuming you are if you believe that this is something that will happen, then this is part of the plan that happens before the new kingdom. The unknown is scary but have faith and pray about your fears. Give them to God
Hi! I’ve been feeling the same—anxious and overwhelmed by the state of the world. Social media only intensifies it, with algorithms triggering our fear responses to keep us hooked. What helped me was reading about how fear has been used by religious and political leaders during major events like the Cold War, WWII, 9/11, and others. I even had an AI write an essay on it, which certainly helped me calm down and see things more clearly. If you’re someone of faith, I'd recommend you to disconnect from social media (especially on creators that use this as an excuse to get you to follow them and not to get you closer to your faith), and find hope and joy in the world by going outside and exploring it. Remember that you are currently safe and that you are what you consume. Focusing on the negative will not stop your rumination, but working on yourself and disconnecting may help you a lot. I hope this has helped you in any way, God bless you and stay positive :)
There’s a guy names mark de Jesus on YouTube who has helped me tremendously with ocd and he has a segment on this :)
So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
I’m Christian, and I suddenly had a loss of faith. I’m praying constantly and as anxious and scared that God hasn’t chosen me for this religion, even though I believe in it whole heartedly. My brain is telling me these things, and saying how I would be fit for Islam or something else, even though I am perfectly happy being a Christian. I keep getting intrusive thoughts and feelings about not believing in my religion, and whenever I confess how I do believe, my brain tells me I’m lying or I feel otherwise. It makes me feel guilty and abandoned and alone. I still read my Bible and pray CONSTANTLY. Please help (sorry if this is hard to understand I am ranting)
Please help anyone else here with Religious ocd and is a Christian? My brain is going hay-wire and want to know I'm not alone... what do your thoughts say and how do you overcome compulsions? Im going through a rough moment and feel sick with anxiety and stiff. I want to obey God but my thoughts won't stop. I surrender to the Lord and then I have peace with the compulsions and they go away but the thoughts are the scary part please - is this spiritual or is it mental? Or is it both? Would love to hear a Christians opinion on this... because my thoughts latch on and won't dissappear but I know that the Bible commands us to take control of our thoughts and to renew our minds...yet God has grace for this and mercy for our every need... I know God is in control (completely) and my mind creates a lot of the issues for me without any spiritual stuff (it's a very powerful thing) but it's still scary. Lord help me, I surrender myself to you Jesus, counsel my soul and help me.
