Being an OCD atheist is not easy
#10
RE: Being an OCD atheist is not easy
Actually I see a psychiatrist AND a psychologist. I've worked for years on controlling my anxiety. Fear of God is a major source of my anxiety. I'm slowly getting over it. Thank uh, god or something that my shrink is an atheist. It really helps me make sense of things. He tells me to take religion out of the equation and when I do, I feel so much more at ease and in control of my life. It lasts for a while, anyways.

I need to meditate a lot more. It sure clears things up and it does not require that I believe anything religious. It's just an exercise.
