🕊️ Religious OCD (Scrupulosity)
It’s not about too much faith — it’s about too much fear.
People with Religious OCD experience intrusive, distressing thoughts about sin, morality, or offending God. 🙏💭
To quiet these thoughts, they may pray repeatedly, confess often, or mentally “check” if they did something wrong.
These actions might look like faith from the outside —
but inside, they’re driven by anxiety, guilt, and fear, not devotion. 💔
Healing begins when we learn to separate faith from compulsion — and replace fear with compassion. 💫
