I have struggled for so long with that exact obsession. I’m just now starting to feel more calm about it, and I was able to do so by trusting that God knows my true intentions and heart even if OCD is making me question both. I can obsess all day on whether I’ll go to hell or not, but in the end I trust God more than I trust my OCD, and I trust that part of my brain that tells me what I really know: I’m trying my best to follow God, I know that. God won’t hold me accountable for my OCD thoughts or actions bc he knows my true intentions at their foundation. Sorry this was kind of long, hope it helps! ❤️

As weird as it sounds it is biochemically possible to habitate yourself to a fear of hell. Religious OCD has been my most enduring theme, so I am not belittling the fear. Beating OCD is not about "not being that bad". Other suptypes have this too. It is that bad if I really did harm someone when I did x y or z. I wish I could say I had a religious breakthrough that made it easier but what turned it around for me was when I hit rock bottom I just learned that God has mercy. . . OCD does not. I had to make the firm and unapologetic decision that I was not going to give up healthy self-love for anything, even salvation. If you can, maybe read a bit of the Divine Comedy as an exposure or by a C'thulu plush toy idol as an exposure. Give it chocolate chips as an offering. I have "Idle Apocalypse " on my phone which is goofy game about running a cult as a safeguard against scrupulousity.

That means a lot. Thank you. You're right. God does have mercy. Its so hard to remember. But I guess logically if I just stopped worrying about Hell and lived my life happily and did the stuff I would normally do... Would God hate me to judge me for not freaking out more? No He wouldn't. I really don't want to go to Hell haha. I guess though that maybe that is a good sign. I mean if I was evil I wouldnt worry about it. Thanks for you help? good luck to you too

Existential OCD and fear of aging
Hello, I am a young girl struggling with OCD, specifically existential related OCD. I feel constantly like my life is pointless, like my goals aren’t significant, because, I’m just going to be forgotten and die. What is the point? I don’t want to get old and not be able to do what I love. Sometimes I wonder if not existing would be easier, but I don’t want to die yet. It’s really confusing, and I’d love some tips I could get for motivation. I really want to be spiritual, but I struggle in believing in stuff so…?

Idk what to do
I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....
