Accepting I’m an atheist helps me manage my OCD better, amongst other things
I grew up in a Catholic conservative background and between those things and my autism I feel my ocd got out of control. But I feel between therapy, Luvox and accepting I’m an atheist helps my OCD a lot. I feel religion does nothing but weigh me down and make me feel bad about myself and superstition that makes the OCD worse. Accepting my attraction to men and my gender identity as a trans woman and the fact that gender, sexuality, neurodivergence, etc is how you feel most yourself and “normal” as and that simply liking a certain TV show or liking a certain clothing doesn’t make you a same way helps too.
Personally I feel my OCD flares up when I force myself to be a man or attracted to women or religious and honestly the “person” that my parents brought me up to be (straight cis Catholic conservative man) was hurting more than helping me.
