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.

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?

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.

Hi! I have been struggling with ocd for many years of my life, however, I have recently been struggling with religious ocd. Currently my ocd has been putting thought into my mind like, “you shouldn’t go to that party, because “God” doesn’t what you to” or “don’t do this or else it’s going to make “God” mad.” These thoughts have been overall causing me so much anxiety, and truly I don’t know what to do. I’ve been struggling to identify it’s actually Gods voice or not. Also, my ocd has been also making my prayer a very stressful part of my day, which is not how it should feel at all. Now finding peace in prayer feels more like a chore, than a conversation. Does anybody else have ocd like this? If so, any tips?
