Yes I obsess about similar things all the time. When my thoughts go round and round for minutes/hours/days where it makes me exhausted and anxious it’s a flare up of my ocd. Medication has helped a lot for me.

I cannot stop feeling confused, im tired of looking at things and scared ill experience that, scared of my future with loosing a loved one, scared of death. Im so scared and tired that im like ugh i dont want to but also this is becoming to much. I just increased my medication today to 50mg of seratline (zoloft). I hope this helps soon. The dr wants me to get up to 150/200mg as this is the amount to help with ocd.

It takes anything from 4-8 weeks generally for medication. Stick with it. Your living in fear and I done the same for years. I used alcohol as a crutch because of this. Now in recovery for 4 years. Looking back I wished I’d not done that obviously. This will pass. Write down your fears on paper. For me this helped tremendously. Try staying in the moment. Meditation really really helps, little walks , self care , give yourself a break. Accept the thoughts and fears for exactly what they are. An emotion similar to happiness and sadness. They don’t define you.
