New to Islam and still anxious about old warnings of hell

Assalamu alaikum. I’m very new to Islam and came from a Christian background. For years I had trouble accepting the idea of God becoming human, and that pushed me to explore the belief that God is eternal and beyond time and space. That curiosity is what led me to learn about Islam a few months ago. But I’m dealing with something heavy. I grew up with a lot of fear about hell-my old priests warned I’d be punished if I didn’t accept Jesus, and those images and phrases keep coming back. They talked about being thrown into hell and tortured forever, and even after choosing Islam I sometimes wake up terrified that I made the wrong decision. I’ve been getting anxious, stressed, and losing sleep over it. I’m seeing a Lebanese Muslim woman, and I’ve shared this with her, but the old fears still pop up. Sometimes I stumble on old verses or memories and it all floods back and scares me again. I’m looking for guidance, reassurance, and practical advice from fellow Muslims who might understand this experience. I want to learn correctly and find inner peace. I sincerely hope I’m on the right path and that Allah accepts me. I’m really afraid of being turned away from Allah and missing out on Jannah. Thanks for listening.
