OCD doesn't have any limits and it often confuses people to the point where they question their core values. I really do understand what you're talking about, it can be extremely hard and lonely fighting OCD and Depression. But, judging by the way you worded your post, you are ruminating to no end. If you haven't already, you should look for a therapist or atleast get a good OCD book. It can get and it will get better. And that war is pretty unlikely to happen btw.

Thank you for the answer, i still deal with that thought bc that happened a lot of times that when something felt hopeless or bad i got feelings of i dont want to live like this, i want to die... or if something will happen i dont want that to happen, or i will kill myself bc life will be hopeless then. And this thinking scares the shi out of me and puts me to feel disapointed about myself that i thinked that so i reather try to say its ocd... but idk what is it...

@woahman It can be pure torment, a lot of what you're describing is very familiar to me. Almost all of it is a symptom of your brain malfunctioning to a certain degree. It's really hard to explain to you what I want to say but I believe you already know most of it. If you can, buy one of the recommended books on OCD (Brain Lock might be a good one for you) but the thing that'll help you the most, even if you currently may not believe it and it all seems hopeless, is ERP. A painful process but the most effective one. Try finding a good therapist who has experience with OCD and specifically ERP. Your main theme seems to be Suicidal OCD, which is a common theme and can be treated, like all themes, to a fairly high degree.

Am so tired I see no reason to clean no reason to try or think it’s all going to get better. My OCD, keeps telling me we are in the second great depression and we’re going to head to World War III soon. And that there’s no reason in living anymore and I should end it before I see the horrors unfold in front of me. It tells me that I am suffering enough and it’s time to let go. There’s no reason to keep suffering only to die later without any sort of fix to the situation. I cry constantly to myself about the economy about who’s in charge of the US about how I’m gonna live in such a world about how different prices were about how the older generations had it better.. And now my OCD keeps telling me that they’re the bad people. They’re the ones who should suffer. They’re the ones who did this to us. The boomers are the ones that led my generation down into this hell. And it drives me crazy. I think about it every day and it constantly repeats itself telling me that I should just let go that it’s time to let go. I’m only 18 but I’ve been worrying about the economy in the third world war since the age of 12. My psychiatrist said that I am burdened by my intelligence. And my OCD loves to torture me with it. I can’t get out of this malicious cycle of feeling OK OCD coming back giving me anxiety leading to depression. And compulsions of suicide, I just don’t think I’ll be able to live in this world. I don’t think it’s worth it and I think it’s just going to be painful. I went to an abandoned gas station that was abandoned in the early 70s. I found a Coke bottle from the 1960s halfway embedded in the dirt. It was fully intact not even a scratch on it. The glass was thick and sturdy. It looked like it can last forever. Instead of having a rapper that displayed all of the details on it all of the textures of the words in the brand and everything you needed to know was engraved into the glass itself. And you know what?? Back then that was only $.10.. now a Coke with a plastic wrapper made out of plastic in a smaller size is about 3 to 4 dollars.. I just can’t I tried to take my mind off of it, but while I’m growing in, and my OCD loves to taunt me. I can’t seem to pretend like everyone else it’s just too out in the open and my OCD, won’t let me forget. It’s like my own personal hell.

This is sort of a sub part of the religious OCD, but I have Meta OCD as well. My main fear is ocd driving me to do a horrible prayer. Unfortunately, one thing my mind does is prays for things I want constantly to prove that I can choose what I pray for. Some of these things include either my ocd to go away, people to be safe, or to die by being killed by a an animal or something when I’m running on the trial. The issue is with the being killed thing. I have prayed for all sorts of things I know are not going to happen. Unfortunately, one of them was almost world war 3. I’m not usually that kind of person. I read someone say they basically prayed for disaster every day on Reddit and people didn’t completely destroy them over it, so I thought “well I could pray for world war 3.” The issue is, if I were my normal calm self, I wouldn’t do that. All I would be thinking about is how I would die if it happened. I’m not sure if testing the prayers are somehow warping my actual values or if that’s an excuse I’m making for myself. When I’m running on the trail, I really wouldn’t want to be killed by an animal either, but I guess I mean it, cause I want to die. But I know it’s not going to happen. So I’m not sure if this is an ocd issue or not
