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?

Possible religious ocd?
I'm a Christian, I've been a Christian for as long as I can remember. I love my faith and was in the midst of getting back into it. However now I'm afraid. The troubling thing about the abrahamic faiths is that there is a heaven and there is a hell. I'm not sure much about Judaism but I know in Christianity and Islam that he'll exists. Now I saw some thing stating a claim that all Christians will go to hell in Islam and now I'm questioning my faith and can't stop thinking about it. Not to say that I don't love my muslim brothers and sisters. I'm I just very confused and scared. I can't afford to be wrong.
