Dealing with religious scrupulosity OCD has been a constant battle for me. The endless intrusive thoughts and overwhelming anxiety have often left me feeling like I’m drowning. However, I’ve found hope in therapy and the support of this community. I’ve learned to challenge my irrational fears with rational thinking, and to practice self-compassion when the guilt and shame become too much to bear. It’s been a difficult journey, but I’m starting to see glimpses of peace in the midst of the chaos. I’ve also found solace in connecting with others who understand what I’m going through. I want to encourage anyone else struggling with religious OCD to reach out for help and know that they are not alone. There is hope, and it’s okay to seek support on this challenging yet rewarding path to healing.
