hi i feel like im in hell right now

enrique trujillo · Dec 27, 2017

hi regards lately i have been struggling with an ocd related with thoughts of selling your soul i had these problem back when i was 11 at that time i didnt know it was ocd so i felt terrible i cried i went to confession all the time and i guess i was afraid to ask to the priest about it because in my head i was thinking tha he was going to say something like : "you are condemned you have no salvation " so i just managed to go on with my life thinking just that maybe god will forgive because i was just a child you know i also thoght that he wouldnt i started thinking that maybe i will go straight to hell and that evrything good that happened to me i didnt deserve it that it was not a blessing that i could never be blessed . now lately around a week ago i been struggling with the same type of ocd i know that god loves me i know that even though i probably dont deserve it so i decided to go something that made feel terrified at the time and i asked a priest of my church about selling your soul and he said and i quoute"you cannot sell your soul your soul belongs to god he created evrything angels archangels humans no one butt god can be the owner of your soul " and then i asked him “so all those things about selling your soul getting something in exchange is that just a myth” and he said “yes is just a myth you cannot really do it” and then i remember feeling hope like i always thought and i will never go to heaven and i really believe that there is a small chance of going to heaven now im still strglling with the same thing i just want it to stop because my soul belongs to god it have always belong to him and i as never in mortal sin however i really want overcomeit because is making depressed and less productive i will do appreciate if you could give some advice about it or pray for me
today a thought came into my mind that i will sell my soul if a coworker had a bad day i inmedietly refuse that thought and prey for him to have a good day i became obssesed with that with him having a bad day at the end he ended up having a regular day he always has good days butt today was regular i dont does that means that the devil owns my soul i really need a therapist butt i dont know i feel very depressed right now i feel suicidal i just want this to stop

You identify yourself as a Christian. Therefore, you'll never go to hell!!

This sounds like classic OCD! The issue is not whether or not you can sell your soul; it is that your mind is making you feel like you want to when you don't really want to. Do you know anything about fighting OCD? If not I can give you some advice and send you links to some resources. OCD basically plays tricks on our minds, making us hyper-focus on a specific topic or theme and feel like we don't know the truth about it, because we're too afraid to listen to our common sense. But there is LOTS of hope for overcoming it. I've had OCD for most of my life, and have lived through lots of different obsessive themes. But the wonderful thing is that I have made my way through all of them and continue to grow stronger and more free from OCD. I know you feel awful right now, but it won't be like this forever! There are ways to become free again!!

please i cant really afford to pay a therapist if you could send me any information i will apreciate itand thanks also yo know i wanted to ask my coworker to ask if he had a bad day and he told me that he had a bad day at first butt then he told me that his day was good after all so that means that im safe i guess he said and he quote"you know what it was a good thanks good " so that means that im safe right butt even if he had a really bad day that wouldnt change anything my soul will always belong to god i have repeated that since the begging "my soul belongs to god" or for example "i sell my soul to god in exchange for nothing" i repeated that numerous times since this nightmare begun that has to mean something right

Friend, I am so praying for you. I have dealt with this disease as well, and I know where you are coming from. There is always hope in the Lord, and you haven't thought too far. I will keep you in my prayers. You are not alone! If you ever need to talk, please message me. I understand the exhausting battle that can take place in our minds. There is always hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 40:31
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us of all unrighteousness.

John 6:37
All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.

1 John 3:20
for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything

Mari17 · Dec 29, 2017

So glad you are feeling better! You are right, with OCD we have to learn to treat the intrusive thoughts as meaningless. That means letting them come without trying to cancel them or push them away, ask forgiveness for them, etc. That doesn't mean we agree with them, it just means that we recognize that they are just random thoughts coming to bother us and they do not mean anything. Definitely get some therapy help if you need it - look for a therapist who is familiar with treating OCD, specifically using CBT and ERP therapy. Also check out these resources:

The ocd is trying to trick you into thinking you've already sold your soul. When you said you heard about how Jesus can get your soul back... well you don't have to worry about that because you've never sold it in the first place. Ocd tries to create a world where you've done what you fear or dread most. Don't wanna be a serial killer? Ocd will try to convince you that you are one. Don't want to blaspheme God? Ocd will try to convince you that you have. You love husband or wife? Ocd will try to convince you that you don't love him or her. It does the exact opposite of what you want.

YOU KNOW youre right also i want to say that im almoust recover i understood a lot of important things through research and after talking to a christian priest and and a pastor

1) you cannot sell your soul because it doesnt belong to you in the first place it belongs to god thats on the bible

2) some people do covenants with the enemy trough wichcraft in exchange for fame and money or other things however they can break that covenant and go back to god always

3) the enemy cannot read our minds sometimes we give the devil too much credit he doesnt know or hearst or minds he is a lier a deciever and more important a deceived foe only god knows all of our thoughts and our hearts

4) only god is omnipresent and omniscient

5) Mark 8:36
What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?
that part of the bible is more phylosophical it means that you can have it all you can have money fortune fame woman however you can have your soul corrupted and your soul in danger

i just want to say thanks to all its been to hard weeks for me butt i feel like im 90 % recover in this new year and i feel hope hope in going to heaven is like god is telling "youre a free man now is up to you" god bless you all

Hey,
I know the feeling your going through right now, I have had severe OCD before as well. One of the symptoms of OCD is actually religious worries, so if you do have OCD it isn't too unusual to have religious worries like this.

As for you selling your soul, I seriously doubt that you will go to hell. I personally think that its impossible to sell your soul for the same reasons your preacher said, and that the verses about selling your soul are a metaphor for selling out and becoming like the rest of humans.

Even if you could sell your soul, you were a child, God wouldn't hold you accountable when your brain is still developing. You brain was not mature enough to make a decision like that. God wouldn't send a baby to hell if it died when it was a baby and didn't repent, so why would he let you go to hell? As long as you repented, you will NOT GO TO HELL.

I know this next part might sound a little depressing, but OCD stuck with me for most of my life, and its likely it will with you to, however, I shook off most of my OCD by being subscribed to a medication called 'Prozac' it really changed my life as my entire life I was plagued with thoughts VERY similar to yours that drove me insane. I can relate very much to what your going through right now. Again, I recommend talking to a therapist and maybe asking about medication you could possibly get onto.

Again, I am 100% sure your not going to hell. I know, with OCD your answer is never satisfied and you always seek out the worst possible scenario, thats how OCD works, but you can work through it.

Trust me, things will get better, they always do.
