Anyone with religious/faith doubt/spirituality OCD available/want to talk? Struggling with this right now :(

Hey, I have struggled with this a lot in the past. It got to the point that I just gave up my faith altogether. I am just recently trying to get back into the church, and I’m actually finally getting excited about it. What exactly are you struggling with right now?

Sure! What’s going on?

Same.

Yes, I struggle with this too. I have found a lot of ways and mechanisms to work on this.

I just had learn to accept the fact that we can’t 100% know what the end will bring until we get there. It took a LONG time, but I surrounded myself with people that believed what I so strongly wanted to believe, read a lot, and really paying attention to sermons and taking them to heart. I struggle with feeling like a burden to people to general and always feeling like I don’t deserve the concern of others, so one thing I really tried to focus my thoughts on is the fact that He loves me unconditionally. It brings me comfort when my thoughts feel chaotic.

Thanks so much for sharing ❤❤

You can talk to me about this. Im struggling with something very similar (spiritual/existential ocd) I'm not able to get any sleep

Thank you everyone who replied to this ❤

I mostly experience intrusive thoughts and fear about losing my faith in God, converting to a different religion, becoming an atheist, dying and going to hell, not having enough faith, that sort of thing. My faith is really important to me and central to my identity so it's pretty distressing when I get these thoughts. I'd love to hear how you guys tackle the thoughts that you got, if you did ERP(and what sort of content you covered in it), general advice and tips would be amazing. I really want to beat this but I'm finding it hard to find my footing and take a stand, if that makes sense.
