That's how it started with me when ocd became too much to handle, seek therapy, you cant give away what you don't own. You belong to your Heavenly Father God, He made you He loves you He will never abandon you. Let not this be a form of reassurance but a truth to know, the thoughts won't go away by just doing reassurance, it takes time and understanding of how ocd works, therapy will help, spiritual guidance will help, you're not the only one who has those intrusive thoughts, don't worry, ocd will not defeat you, the Lord is bigger than our fears. God bless you, don't be afraid.

I have religious OCD too, it’s bad. Constant anxiety that I can’t be forgiven for something and am going to hell. Fear is always looming. I try to remember “my grace is sufficient for you” and “whoever comes to me I will never drive away”. Part of faith is walking through and moving forward through uncertainty. We can never be 100% sure being mere humans, but I am confident that God is good and he is 100% loving and gracious and he calls us to be the same to others. I will pray for you and me and all those suffering from religious OCD. God, give us the strength to resist our compulsions and to know you are for us despite our feelings.

I worry I will have mental health issues the rest of my life. Not sure I could live a life like that, Not really sure why I'm posting this, I guess does anyone else have the same thought?

I feel like my life isn't my own anymore. I live by OCD's rules. I can't ever switch it off. I spend most of my day mentally reviewing and constantly checking myself. I have to do things in a certain way or i dont feel safe. All this time that i've lost and for what? Idk how I let thoughts have so much power over my life and yet here I am. Every day. I can't even get away from it in sleep because i have dreams about it and I wake up anxious if i manage to get any sleep at all. I'm so over it all.

I feel like OCD has taken up a massive chunk of my life. I don't really have anything else, most of my time has been spent with obsessions for years. I'm 21 so I know I'm young and everything but that is time I won't get back, and it's had aeasurable impact on my future, with stuffike grades, or just missing out on social stuff due to obsessions. I wasn't even aware of what was wrong with me for so long.
