I’ve has this too.
I had it too, eventually I stopped caring (idk if it’s because of the medicine I’m taking). I should clarify that it’s not that I don’t care, but I slowly realized that is the ocd speaking, and everyone has these thoughts but it doesn’t mean they are true, it’s all just mental noise. But for sure the medicine has been a huge help.
It may in part, but my ocd changes what i like to call “it’s” attention and tries to get me to worry about something else, it started with me going to hell, than my family going to hell, and eventually I completely lost any interest in it so my ocd moved on. Remember that you knows it’s ocd when it starts to attach what you love, which usually means your the opposite of your fears. (If that made any sense).
This hit me really hard last summer. At the time I knew I had OCD, but I didn’t connect the two. It has by far been the worst thing I’ve ever dealt with during my OCD, perhaps in my whole life. I still deal with this, but on a much smaller scale. I tend to believe that if I was beyond Christ’s redemption that my heart would be hardened against Him and I wouldn’t be worried about my salvation.

@alexN the exact same thing happened to me too. Idk if it’s the meds but I just slowly stopped caring
TW Are you talking about fear of committing the unpardonable sin?
@alex it makes complete sense. I had a very similar experience. I think what helped the most for me was the meds and moving on to college and getting out of my home environment
@catlady it hit me hard over the summer too, especially with traveling. I remember the first tome it happened I was a scared 15yr old sobbing in my room thinking I had committed the worst sin imaginable and that the “metaphorical spiritual safety net” under me was broken and that I was helpless. It’s a terrifying feeling. With time these obsessions do pass. It’s taken me 3+ years but I’m getting on the right track and I know you will too :)
My religion ocd is so terrifying. I’m Catholic, and I get thoughts that I’m going to hell constantly It’s so exhausting and it scares me so much when my brain tells me I’m going straight to hell and that I’m a horrible person, and it makes me believe it
hi guys it’s been awhile since i’ve been on here but right now i’m starting to get really scared i’m scared to go to hell because i swear, have intrusive thoughts and compulsions (obviously) and i look at and do s*xually immoral acts i am a catholic person and i’ve always stood by the notion that if i act with good intentions then there is no issue, but my mum was talking about her fear of going to hell (her ocd subtypes are about this) and now i feel guilty when i sin, even tho i only want peace in the world i go to reddit and look at some answers for this stuff (i have a really bad compulsion of searching questions on google for hours) and they mostly say i will go to hell if i sin i also get really depressed then question god’s existence and then wonder why i should be alive and stuff and then i’m guilty later i really don’t want this to become a major subtype. i have health ocd but it’s calmed down since i’ve been diagnosed with a health condition (for some reason??) can someone, christian or not, please respond with their experience with this subtype or anyone with advice at all?
I don't think it's ocd anymore. I'm convinced that I'm going to hell and there's nothing I can do. I don't want to i want to go to heaven. these thoughts are killing me. I can't do this anymore.
