I’m so scared of death!

? I feel like it’s not that easy to just live.... I literally feel myself in the dying panic mode of what it will feel like to die and I’m in a panic

If it helps, I’m not feeling great today either due to this existential crap. I had a weird dream in which I had a month to live, and at the end it all just went black. Then I woke up. I fear I have been reborn or something! But I’m trying my hardest to not figure it out and just let it be. We can imagine how it’d feel to die OR we can simply wait until our time is here and then experience it. In the meantime, we can try our best to live life according to our values and do the things we live and enjoy!

Yes!!! Last night I just had the worst panic attack because I just felt like “what if I don’t want to live anymore” and like “what if death is better than being alive” and I just felt horrible and like I was actually thinking ... “Is this what I want” ??

It’s okay! Just remember, some things don’t NEED to be known. I suffered for a while with existential related thoughts but at the end of it, I reached the conclusion that it doesn’t really matter. Whether my existence is real or not, it doesn’t have to stop me from doing the things I love. Why should I waste my entire life asking unanswerable questions when I could just simply live? Just accept the uncertainty

Lately, I have been able to manage my OCD thoughts kind of. They’re still there but I kind of push them away? I know that pushing them away doesn’t help but it’s been my only way to survive. I get scared often about things like clothes or my voice or how I present myself. I get scared that I want to dress differently or act differently and it scares me. I know for a fact I don’t want boobs or anything like that, but my mind constantly is like “What if?” and it kills me. It has ruined everything for me. Sometimes I can’t even look in the mirror because I get scared that I won’t like what I see. I’ve also been afraid because I find myself relating to many female characters, or I want to act like them. Like Pearl from Steven Universe. I want to be graceful and elegant like her, but I don’t want to be a girl you know? My mind constantly pushes these thoughts of what if and images. Because I am not like most guys. Which I know is okay. It just freaks me out. It makes me question every aspect of my being. I know who I am, but I know that the only way to move forward is to accept that maybe I don’t.. It’s just a lot.

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

I’ve been feeling so disconnected lately, like I’m not even living my own life. It’s like I’m being controlled by someone else, and I have no say in what’s happening. It’s hard to put this feeling into words, but it’s like I’m here physically, but mentally, I’m just... not. Every day feels like a struggle. I wake up afraid of what’s coming next, almost like I’m bracing myself for the next bad thing to happen. Sometimes, I don’t even want to get out of bed because it feels pointless, like I’m stuck in this loop of fear and doubt. I keep questioning everything, life, my purpose, my choices, and it’s exhausting. I just want to feel like myself again, to feel like I have control, like I’m really here.
