Existential crisis

Hey guys. I really need some help or someone to talk to. Even before my son was born last week, I have such a strong and irrational fear of dying/going to heaven. It’s so bad I hyperventilate. I worry that heaven isn’t real/I’m believing the wrong religion/etc. It’s 1000 times worse now that my baby is born because of my hormones being a roller coaster. I’ve convinced myself my moles are cancerous and I’m going to die without watching my baby grow up and I don’t even go to heaven because I’m scared it’s not real. I know these are all crazy irrational thoughts but I can’t get them to stop. Can anyone help me?

It sounds a bit like post partum anxiety which totally sucks! (I struggled with that and PPD) Talking with my therapist and a lot of reality checking helped me! (A lot of my anxiety stemmed from irrational thoughts that someone would steal my children). As far as religion, you need to invest time in studying the Bible and listening to solid teachers of the Bible. Allen Parr is good and easy to understand. Also, taking a moment to understand why the other religions don’t both account for sin and the fact that Jesus Christ was an actual person. Studying the Bible helps strengthen our faith during these trying times. If you need encouragement I run an IG page @and_you_are_Christs
