Anybody else struggle with religion OCD? Would love to hear what it’s like for others! I’m a Christian, but more spiritual the older I get. Borderline agnostic with a lot of fear that I’m moving away from Christianity. Fear of hell even though I don’t believe in hell. Fear that there is no God, even though I believe in God. Please no responses with scripture! I’ve had way too many people in my life try to “fix this” by sending me sermons or verses

hi! i’m christian and i also have religious ocd with an extreme fear of hell and i’m not sure if i believe in it either.

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.

Thank y’all for the replies. Feels so nice to know I’m not alone in it
