If this helps, Jesus wasn’t here to be a strict religious man either. He came to show people that the old, strict religious rules that you’re feeling condemned by don’t work for anyone. I struggle with religious ocd too and it’s gotten better over the years but it’s a learning process. And please don’t let other people’s beliefs effect yours. God loves you and that’s what matters. I once read a quote that says “if you think you’ve ruined gods plan for your life, remember, you’re not the powerful.” Keep being you love ya!

I don’t know what I beleive in anymore. I’m obsessing nonstop over the question of whether I’m a Christian or a pantheist (someone who believes that God and the universe are one in the same). I came across the word and it described what I beleive nicely. But then I did some googling and apparently a lot of Christians don’t like pantheism because they beleive god created the universe, not that god is the universe. I’m scared if I beleive the wrong thing my punishment will be that God will kill someone I love. But I can’t take this strict Exactly what the Bible says religiousness anymore, I just want to go back to before I had ocd when I didn’t care whether god exits at all.

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.

Guys I need help. I feel so alone . Basically I have this compulsion where I feel the need to write everything but this stems from me being anxious about EVERYTHING. Like my mom came in my room and I was irritated and snapped, immediately regretted now I keep writing “don’t be mean to mom next time” but I keep thinking about it. Then I think about how I finally left my house today and all the surfaces I touched that could’ve been contaminated and now I’m writing “next time don’t touch this and this”. Then I think about all the things I need to be doing for this week and I’m writing “don’t forget to do this and this” even though I’ve written it 5 times already. This is what happens everyday btw. My brain always thinks about something I need to be doing and making me anxious that I’ll forget it which is why I write it down on my notes app. I’m sooo mentally exhausted I need help pls!! Anyone have any advice ? I used to think I need to stop the writing but really I need to stop the anxious thoughts coming into my head . People say I need to accept the thoughts and let it go but that’s too hard for me

I’m anxious about HIV. What if I get it? That’s a scary thought to me. And then I’m scared/worried about giving it to others, not knowing if I have it, etc.
