Better place better mood,lingering small anxiety

[Blaise N]

Hey everyone!

I’d thought I’d reach out and bring good news,I’ve recently been thinking and doing better,my doctor gave me a increase in medicine and my mood and anxiety have been better.However,I’m still in a state of minor lingering anxiety,like “is everything going better because I’m an apostate and the world is deceiving me?” Or “what if I’m a clueless apostate who thinks they’re a safe believer?”.I do get some comfort from reassurance from a unknown source when thoughts like that arise.But still,the only thing affecting me as of now,is the bothersome question if I’m an apostate who thinks they’re a believer.

overall,I’m thankful to the Lord for everything,and hope that anyone who sees this who suffers similar problems,my advice,never give up and keep fighting.

Or a practical simple answer is that your meds are going you good and stopping some of the madness.


Do you know anyone who is not a Christian?

Have you ever talked with them about what happens when you die?

Do you know that non christian do not care about being a Christian or that as a non christian they are destined for hell.

As you have been told many times, 'Only Christians worry about sin. '

Thank you for sharing your good news! So happy to hear it! It sounds like you are still struggling with the same obsession, just from a different angle. Dr. Steven Phillipson calls being anxious about not being anxious a "back-door spike." It's actually a common trick of OCD! The treatment for this kind of thought is the same as for any other intrusive thought related to your obsession - ignore it, and keep moving forward!
