๐๏ธ Religious OCD (Scrupulosity)
Itโs not about too much faith โ itโs about too much fear.
People with Religious OCD experience intrusive, distressing thoughts about sin, morality, or offending God. ๐๐ญ
To quiet these thoughts, they may pray repeatedly, confess often, or mentally โcheckโ if they did something wrong.
These actions might look like faith from the outside โ
but inside, theyโre driven by anxiety, guilt, and fear, not devotion. ๐
Healing begins when we learn to separate faith from compulsion โ and replace fear with compassion. ๐ซ
