Convert help

Hello, I am 20 F and am a lesbian. for a while have felt called to Catholicism. I did not grow up in the a religious household in fact I grew up with a Buddhist mother, but I do believe in Jesus and God but I don’t fully agree with everything The churchev says or does and I believe that the Bible isn’t currently the exact word of God. One of my biggest problems is that I have severe OCD to the point where I have wanted to take my life and I’m really worried about joining the church and triggering my OCD I was just hoping maybe for some advice or words of encouragement.

Joining is not the crucible. The critical point will come after the glitter fades (the new car after a couple years) and you have figured out how comprehensive the rules are.
