I have ocd and asperger's. I'm not sure if this will change my circumstance but here I go. I've been having extreme struggles with my faith lately. I did not grow up in a Christian home but I turned to Christ due to my own experiences, studying history and testimonies of evil spirit attacks stopped by speaking the name of Jesus. I've been having doubts lately which makes me question if I ever believed at all in the first place. I struggle with just about everything in the gospel, from believing that I am inherently evil, to believing that Jesus is God and that he died for my sons are rose again the third day. I feel like it would be incredibly easy for me to become an atheist and that terrifies me. I don't want God to be fake or go to hell because of my unbelief. I remind myself why I became a christian in the first place but that does not seem to help. I feel I am possessed or beyond helping, please what do I do?

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

That is why you are so vulnerable. Get & take medicine so you can get to church.
"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 NKJV

I used to have various medicines prescribed to me by my doctor, but they all amplify my symptoms 10x and made me a angry person. I since then stopped going to a doctor and I am afraid to take medicine again because it's bad effects may not reverse this time.

I don't know much about Asperger's, but I do know that OCD makes us chronically doubt things, even when we don't want to. It sounds like you are a Christian and want to be, but are afraid that the doubts are going to make you lose your salvation. Fear of losing one's salvation is a very typical theme for OCD. Do you have any sort of therapy/support for your OCD?
