I have religious OCD too. But your thoughts aren't sinful. They just are. God understands your struggles and loves you so much. I have an OCD diagnosis and all this sounds very familiar. I also have harm OCD and suicide OCD. The guilt and the shane that can come from those types of thoughts can be horrible. I suggest getting a therapist who understands OCD and specializes in ERP. ERP is crazy hard. But it works. I've noticed a major difference. Good luck and God Bless

@JaydenBingham I totally get it. OCD targets what you love most. Your faith is obviously very important to you, OCD latched on to it.

I’ve been struggling with religious OCD for the past month or so (blasphemous intrusive thoughts, fear of going to hell, etc). I’m a Christian. I’ve been in ERP and I’m learning to let the thoughts just be which is hard, but I’m struggling with the overwhelming feelings of guilt about having the intrusive thoughts. I know the thoughts aren’t from me and don’t reflect my true self, but sometimes if feels like I’m bringing the thoughts on if that makes sense. Does anyone have any advice on overcoming the guilt? OCD is also telling me I’m never going to get over this and my relationship with God will never be the same. I just want to be able to praise God without all of this and it’s making me incredibly sad and lonely. Any words of encouragement are appreciated.

How do I deal with the thought that my OCD thoughts because of their nature are separating me from God? The one night I couldn’t sleep and prayed about it and just said God if I die and go to hell over this just know I’m doing the best I can. This isn’t me and I don’t want it. — I know that it doesn’t work this way but if you have any advice please share. And also please be nice and respectful of my beliefs. Thank you a struggling Christian.
