Hey Everyone, I am new to this forum. So I'm freaking out about this, it's constantly ruminating in my mind every waking moment. I was born and raised Non Denominational Christian and always kept that way of life in my thoughts and actions. For the last 10 years or so I've really been struggling about what religion I should be. I feel like Christianity doesn't resonate with me like it use to. When I go to a Christian church my OCD flares up really bad and I start drowning in Scrupulosity. No matter how much I pray, how faithful I am, research I do, professionals I talk to, therapies I practice, it always goes back to this constant mental torment. I sometimes have a hard time actually believing Jesus Christ actually existed and I feel terrible about it. So now I start obsess if I should be studying Judaism instead because that was the original word of God, but should I work towards being an Orthodox Jew or a Messianic Jew, but then my thoughts become overwhelmed with all the rules about how to correctly follow the Sabbath and eating Kosher. Then I'll say it's just my OCD and I distract myself with something different. Then all of sudden there will be images and videos of Judaism that pop on Facebook and/or maybe a show I am watching and then I'll think maybe this is a sign from God that I should think about being Jewish again. I can't stand feeling like this, it's eating me alive and I don't know what to do. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this before???
