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.

I'm going to try and be coherent because I know that sometimes during these moments I tend to babble in fear. I have a mole on the left side of my chest that I've had since I was a kid. Been there for as long as I remember. And I never paid attention to it; it was just a part of my body. I even felt a little sad considering that I might not have it anymore whenever I get top surgery. Yesterday I went down a rabbit hole and landed on Melanoma. Which, of course, prompted me to look at my mole again. And again. And again. It's large, bigger than my other moles. Always has been, at least to my knowledge. I always thought it was cute whenever it crossed my mind. Now...now I'm just scared... I'm not asking for reassurance. None of us on here are medical experts (unless youre an actual doctor) (also insert OCD joke here). I sent a picture to my doctor, and she said that if it hasnt changed size that's a good sign. But she also suggested a follow-up with a dermatologist. And that's what scares me the most. All of this started yesterday, but I sent the message to my doctor this morning. And ever since then...I havent been okay. I can barely eat, and every time I try to I can barely swallow. I've isolated myself in the guest bedroom of my parents house. I cant move. I cant think straight. And...let's just say my thoughts havent been good. Like I said, I'm not asking for reassurance or medical advice. I just...I need help to not feel like I'm dying. I didnt mention that yesterday, in the midst of going down the rabbit hole, I realized how badly I didnt want to be afraid, and yet I also felt like I needed to be afraid. And I realized that that's what ERP is (at least for me in case it's different for everyone). I really did naivietely think that it was just going to be about avoiding compulsions. I didnt realize that accepting uncertainty would feel like a death sentence. And now this has happened. I just...I'm scared. And I dont want to be. I dont want to live in this reality where I'm sick and dying. I dont want to have to tell my family. I dont want to live in that world, but it feels like I'm already in it. My body is just preparing me for it. I dont know. I dont know why I'm even making this post. No one can help me, can they?
