It sucks having OCD and struggling to reconnect with faith because of it. I love reconnecting with my faith and want to reach out to my faith community again but having OCD anxiety sucks. 😭😔

Sending a hug if okay.

Sounds like you are going through a really hard time.

I'm thinking about you

OCD often targets the things that matter most to us, including our beliefs and values. In your case, it sounds like your faith is something you cherish, and OCD’s intrusive thoughts may create a lot of anxiety, making it harder to feel connected to that part of your life. This can feel like a tug-of-war between your desire for spiritual growth and the mental struggle OCD imposes.
