I’m in a similar place, feeling like I can’t fully embrace my faith of origin (Roman Catholicism) for various reasons, but scared of going to hell or losing my relationship with God. I don’t want to give up the things that matter to me—the Eucharist in particular I don’t know how to live without, but I feel like I’ve got one foot in the church and one out, it’s scary and hard and I just don’t know where I am.

I am also a Christian and my ocd started with scrupulosity back when I was a child and learn about God. Ocd tries to target what you really give importance too. I believe in Jesus and want to be really close to Him then all of a sudden I will doubt Him. And many more instrusive thoughts. It’s been more than 20years and with OCD morphing to other themes. But I am just pressing on. I totally understand you about bible verses, many people who don’t know ocd will give you a lot of verses. Just like it’s shows we don’t have enough faith or we are winning. But the reality is, it’s our brain (chemical imbalance etc.) that has problem, not our faith.

Is anyone else here a Christian dealing with ocd? I could use some support because I've been having a hard time growing close to God ever since my ocd started getting bad. I deal with a lot of religious intrusive thoughts such as being unforgivable, or being cursed or possessed. What's some advice?

If you suffer from Christian OCD and feel Jesus hates you and you’re going to hell every few seconds but I keep fighting it because when I pray it says Lucifer and I refuse to pray to him. If I do Jesus will send me to hell. I’m terrified. When does it end. Some Christian’s are so peaceful, I want that.. why.. I feel cursed forever. I have faith in others journey… not mine. I’m stuck like this forever. My mind will never be the same.

OCD has decided to latch onto my religion (Christianity) and I find myself doubting my belief in Jesus Christ. Yet when I research, I even find myself doubting the atheistic and agnostic approach as well. I’ve been a Christian since I was 13, growing up in a non-Christian in truth but nominally Christian household. This is rough. Any advice?
