You probably have heard of this, but understanding Egosyntonic and Egodystonic thoughts is help. Egodystonic are the thoughts and feelings that you get that are opposite to what your values are. I think you have to accept that those intrusive thoughts are Egodystonic and allow them to be there.

Have you ever experienced this before? I don't want to feel I'm the only one.

I have absolutely no advice here seeing as I’m seeking treatment myself but I can relate so much. It’s always the what if’s for me..what if you don’t believe this? What if you’re brainwashed? What if you accidentally renounce God? What if you do something to make him hate you? And thus my spirals begin. I just want you to know you’re not alone. And God doesn’t blame us for our brains and the way they work/don’t work

I dont know what religion you are thinking of converting too. but in this case i advise that you read. reading in this case is recommended because this your right not a mistake to be worried about. if you read and find that you are convinced then ask and talk to people and look for opinions. I may help more but i feel this is dnoigh for what you mentioned

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.

So about 2 years ago I gave my life to Jesus. I've always been a "Christian" but never truly lived liked one. Honestly never truly felt love for them until 2 years ago. It was the best couple months of my life!!! I felt so happy and loved and unstoppable! I thought this fire for God & Jesus will never burn out. One day I had a thought about is God real? It bothered me so bad and I went into a massive spiral. Doubting everything. My faith. if I was good enough. Am I really saved? Do I have enough faith? Is my doubt real? Is it too much? Have these blasphemous made God not want me anymore? Or Jesus? :( But I knew I was and that they were real! I know I've heard them. Then I started having horrible blasphemous thoughts but then it would go back to doubting thoughts then back to the blasphemous ones. I hated the thoughts and doubts. The thoughts are so mean towards God, Jesus & HS. It’s anywhere from evil thoughts to cussing thoughts to rejection thoughts/denying. Demonic thoughts. Literally anything bad you could think of! Even thoughts of if I really love them or wanna follow them. I learned about OCD from what I've looked up but I've been dealing with this for about 2 years now. It's hard. I doubt if it’s OCD. Definitely feel like I'm trapped or my faith isn't the same. Which makes me sad because I want my faith! I feel like I've gotten lazy and honestly that I don't deserve them or am "too far gone" from them. I feel like idk how to be a Christian or how to have faith or just exist tbh. I wanna love God & Jesus! I want faith! I just feel kinda stuck. Has anyone gone through this or has advice or tips?
