Trust in Jesus. Pray about it.
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!
Hey guys... On heaven and hell... Erp is about facing fears. So... What if I don't want to go to hell? For other obsessions it would be like, well, say it did happen? Would it really be that bad? But the thing is going to hell is actually that bad... So uh... How can I not be so worried? Like its irrational to believe that a loving God would send someone who is genuinely trying to follow him to eternal damnation... But stinking OCD is still a punk. Any tips? On how to just chillax? Sorry if this is either triggering or unclear. ??
hi guys it’s been awhile since i’ve been on here but right now i’m starting to get really scared i’m scared to go to hell because i swear, have intrusive thoughts and compulsions (obviously) and i look at and do s*xually immoral acts i am a catholic person and i’ve always stood by the notion that if i act with good intentions then there is no issue, but my mum was talking about her fear of going to hell (her ocd subtypes are about this) and now i feel guilty when i sin, even tho i only want peace in the world i go to reddit and look at some answers for this stuff (i have a really bad compulsion of searching questions on google for hours) and they mostly say i will go to hell if i sin i also get really depressed then question god’s existence and then wonder why i should be alive and stuff and then i’m guilty later i really don’t want this to become a major subtype. i have health ocd but it’s calmed down since i’ve been diagnosed with a health condition (for some reason??) can someone, christian or not, please respond with their experience with this subtype or anyone with advice at all?
Hi, I hope everyone who is reading this has a wonderful day. I recently went to my place of worship for a wedding and had a thought, 'what if we all go to hell when we die?' This worried me and I had another thought later, 'what if we could all be taken to a hell-like place right now or at any time if Gods are real?' This worry completely is making me loose all sense of reality. I feel scared for the next second. I know that they are irrational but this is just causing me constant fear and leading to other worries - "What about my family members? Could they be taken to hell at any time? What if? What if?" I have been suffering from OCD since I was very young but only learned that it might be OCD recently (about 2 weeks ago). I missed my last day of the school year to this worry and I feel pathetic. What I'm trying to ask is if this can get better and are there any experiences of people with similar worries who got past it? And how? I would be extremely grateful for anything. I have been feeling desperate the past few days and so scared.
