I don’t want to be a part of religion any longer. Religion is what caused this

@Marco I don’t think religion caused this. Ocd did.

@Marco That’s not true. It just latches on to what’s important to you and your moral values. It’s a monster.

I have the same fear with my ocd topic. I see myself as a Christian but my ocd tells me in lying and tries to convince me of believing horrible things, so I check( compulsions) there is never an answer to o.c.d. You have to understand which topics ocd will attach to and put a pin in it. ( mentally speaking) you then need to let your horrible thoughts/ images be there and literally do nothing. Distract yourself with things that give you joy. Don’t let your o.c.d bully win. You have to get therapy to tolerate uncertainty and just live by your values.

As NickD said, OCD latches on topics that are important to you. It could have probably been triggered by another theme. Unfortunately you cannot stop your fear and you have to try to progress into accepting it instead, exposing yourself to the fear without performing compulsions. (I know it sounds impossible, I am in the same situation but it works for so many! ^^) You can search on specialized websites or on YouTube for "scrupulosity OCD" - that gathers religion-related obsessions. "OCD and Anxiety" YouTube account has two videos on the topics :) I hope it'll get better for you!

Struggling just need advice or tips
How do I deal with the thought that my OCD thoughts because of their nature are separating me from God? The one night I couldn’t sleep and prayed about it and just said God if I die and go to hell over this just know I’m doing the best I can. This isn’t me and I don’t want it. — I know that it doesn’t work this way but if you have any advice please share. And also please be nice and respectful of my beliefs. Thank you a struggling Christian.
