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.

Theme switch: Scrupolosity
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?

Religious OCD
Hi everyone. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for dealing with religious OCD. I'm a Christian and I struggle with Harm OCD but then somehow, my religious beliefs got mixed into this where I am suddenly asking all these questions on whether God/Jesus is even good. And as a result, I feel so distant from my faith which makes dealing with my harm OCD so much harder 😢 Any advice would be appreciated.

Religious OCD
I used to have religious OCD. Still kinda do. Accidentally thought something bad about God once, panicked thought something bad about the Holy Spirit. Fell into doom. This was recently after recomitting myself to Christ. Since then I pretty much gave up. Unfortunately, it also led to me compromising my morals many times because I figured I was going to hell anyway. I wish I knew what OCD was then. I think it would have saved me a lot of pain. I no longer have a relationship with God, and fear I never will again.
