Religion

I am very into my religion and grew up in a strict religion and ow I’m convinced I’m going to hell. I have awful awful images of me doing the worst thing I could possibly think of and it’s the thing I fear people doing to the ones I love. I was reading an article with someone with my subtype and his priest basically said he’s going to hell and now I’m convinced I’m going to hell and I want to go to heaven and I’m panicking because I’ve never felt so far away from myself and from God idk what to do. It’s really hard for me to let this go because my religion is so important to me and I don’t want god to hate me or not be saved

I have your subtypes and have the exact same thing. I really fear I'm going to hell. 3 months ago I was better and felt like God was helping and the new pill was a God send, but now it's not working and I've spiraled out of control. I don't think my husband loves me anymore. I can't work.... I'm debilitated. I'll talk to you more on this bc it seems we are in same boat and I'm so terrified.

Also, I feel like I'm going to die soon bc of this. I can't live like this. I'm in bed, can't get daily things done. I'm paralyzed by it. I feel there is no way out

Hey there. I've been there. Here is a resource. Please consider reading or listening to the author's lecture on the topic. Honestly, the author doesn't seem to fully grasp ERP but the theological insights here may be helpful. https://www.ccef.org/jbc-article/scrupulosity-when-doubts-devour

i'm really sorry you're going through this. it sounds incredibly tough, especially when your faith is a big part of who you are. 😞 i've battled with a different ocd theme, but i know how overwhelming and isolating it can feel when your mind is stuck in a loop of fear and doubt. one thing that's been a game-changer for me is this app called "unstuck ocd therapy tools." it was recommended by my local ocd support group, and it offers ai-personalized guidance and exercises that can really help in moments like these. also, the ocd stories podcast has been a comforting resource for me, hearing how others navigate their ocd journeys can make you feel less alone and offer some helpful perspectives.

Intrusive thoughts

I'm religious, so anyone else who is religious I need to know if this happens to y'all. When I read the Bible, which I want to do twice a day, I feel like I have to reread and reread stuff bc if I didn't comprehend it properly, something bad would happen, or my fears would come true. I also have intrusive thoughts that come into my head about what I'm reading and the thoughts will say something bad about the Bible or about God, and it's like I know God knows I didn't say it but I have to "undo" the thought by getting up out of my seat completely, and saying something that "undoes" it then I can sit back down and read. Sometimes I also shake my head or hit myself in the head trying to rid of the thought. And say "no, no, of course not" and stuff like that trying to undo the thought that intruded...

Taken to Hell Worry

Hi, I hope everyone who is reading this has a wonderful day. I recently went to my place of worship for a wedding and had a thought, 'what if we all go to hell when we die?' This worried me and I had another thought later, 'what if we could all be taken to a hell-like place right now or at any time if Gods are real?' This worry completely is making me loose all sense of reality. I feel scared for the next second. I know that they are irrational but this is just causing me constant fear and leading to other worries - "What about my family members? Could they be taken to hell at any time? What if? What if?" I have been suffering from OCD since I was very young but only learned that it might be OCD recently (about 2 weeks ago). I missed my last day of the school year to this worry and I feel pathetic. What I'm trying to ask is if this can get better and are there any experiences of people with similar worries who got past it? And how? I would be extremely grateful for anything. I have been feeling desperate the past few days and so scared.

Absolute Worst Ocd theme i’ve had

I don’t even know how to start but this is the worst type of intrusive thoughts i’ve had and it’s breaking me down.I really need to find comfort in this but have no idea how.I have intrusive thoughts about my religion and God which I can’t even describe in detail because I feel horrible about it.Its thoughts about death,contradicting my beliefs and saying i don’t like my religion and what I believe in,terrifying thoughts about afterlife. really need help with this It’s literally tearing me down and it’s sickening to me.I’ll try going into more detail if anyone needs it,if I don’t feel too uncomfortable.
