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!

Is anyone here Christian?
If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.

I’m afraid that I don’t believe in God anymore.
I need some help. I keep having thoughts that I don’t believe in God anymore or that I don’t want to believe in God. I have always believed but I just recently started following him more closely. I did ask for Jesus to come into my heart. But now I’m scared that I have lost my salvation. It’s hard to read and pray and I keep getting thoughts that I don’t believe what I reading or that God won’t forgive the sins that I have done. I have been having panic attacks and I’m afraid I’m going to go to hell or I’m afraid that it’s true and I don’t believe in God. I’m also afraid that since God does know my heart what if it truly isn’t for him. I just need some help I’m afraid I’m never going to get back to normal.

Pretty Tough Morning
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?
