God may be real, God might not be real, but he’s real to me :). I went through a few years where I was pretty much atheist after being raised in church. I was angry at how people twisted things and made stuff up about religion. I was so angry at how judgmental, hypocritical, and ignorant people who claimed to be devoted followers were. It took a long time honestly, but I eventually came back and realized that I shouldn’t let those people taint my relationship with my God. He might not be by definition the God they follow, he might be 🤷🏻♀️, I really don’t know, but he’s a God I’m comfortable with following and believing in. Full of empathy, love, kindness, and understanding. I don’t know anything for a fact but I’m okay because even though it took nearly a decade, I finally feel comfort in the thought of a God and not fear. I’m sorry you’re struggling right now, I went through a terrible existential crisis before I was diagnosed and in the end I decided to just shrug. It might end 🤷🏻♀️ but I’m going to continue what I’m doing because what’s the point in wasting away time that I could be present in. I forced myself to think about the present and not the future. It was hard and I failed a lot but I eventually was able to breathe at the thought of the unknown because I was okay with the present. Anxiety isn’t a problem of the present. It’s always brought on by the past or the future. Stay in the present. You’re strong, even if it feels hopeless hang on to that strength. You’re never alone.
Watch nathan perterson youtube channel ocd-anxiety he has a video on Existential ocd and how to do ERP for it
God's real. No matter what god you pray too. The OCD struggle is real. I understand it all too well. It's stressful. You can achieve your goals. You just need a therapist to help 100%
@Glitchgkojdyu! How did u really get that strong faith!? I envy that! What about the whole evolution theory?
@sophielove I prayed to jesus and he returned my prayer blessing me with £80. I prayed to Allah and asked for forgiveness and got gifted a book. Turned a page it said Allah forgives. Now I pray to Ganesh and hope he removes my obstacles. I'm not clued up on it. Happy to hear all about it.
@Glitchgkojdyu! But I thought there was only one God?
@sophielove Well I believe god has many names. No matter who you call them they'll still answer.
Certainly, everything in this life will eventually come to an end, but there is the promise of an eternal afterlife. According to religious teachings, it is up to you to decide where you wish to spend eternity. To secure a place in the good part of the afterlife, such as Heaven, it is essential to perform good deeds and lead a virtuous life. This makes setting and achieving goals in this life incredibly important.
I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
So I’m not sure how many/if any of you are Christians, but I’m assuming this can still make sense to some of you. This morning has been rough. I’m constantly thinking, “am I saved? Have I never been saved and I’m tricking myself into thinking I am? When I’m listening to Christian music am I doing for the right reasons? Is it too late for me?”. Things I know the truthful answers to but yet I still think these thoughts. I don’t understand why. Why do I constantly think about these “what if”’s? My heart always feels so heavy and I feel as if I need to talk to God right then and there to make it stop and go away. But then am I talking to the Lord for the wrong reasons? And the cycle repeats. Thankfully, day one of my therapy is tonight and I’m hoping to find at least a little clarity on this stuff. I’ve had OCD for 7 years and I don’t even know how it works. Any advice?
I feel like im no longer living im only 17 and i use to be so excited to turn 18 recently i feel like life is pointless and its all i think about including philosophy and i never liked that before. It has taken complete joy out of my life anything simple like watching a movie feels pointless because it has no meaning and i feel as if my life has zero meaning because i am not important. I am constantly criticizing everything. For example i went to a concert ive been dying to see and when i got there i didnt enjoy it all because i felt like it was pointless. Is there anyone that has experienced this that has advice I feel like im in hell rn
