I went through this when covid started and the world looked so scary. I started digging into conspiracy theories, at first just for fun, but the more you read the more you almost start getting convinced that everything is a conspiracy. I think that conspiracies are an awful idea for people with ocd to get into. I know that i started thinking that all the crazy stuff I was reading could really happen. I’d suggest taking a break from social media for awhile. That definitely helped me.

What helps me with this type of fear is remembering that this fear has existed for decades. There were people in the ‘50s and ‘60s and so on who were afraid of all these crazy government things and we turned out okay. Don’t worry

I’ve dealt with the same thing, especially with the topic of evangelical Christian conspiracy theories regarding the end of the world and people claiming the end time is upon us. But what worked for me personally was deleting most social media like instagram and tik tok where I was seeing these things. Seeing the world through my own eyes instead of through the lenses of other people online who purposely tweak information and sometimes outright ignore or embellish certain facts eventually made me realize that it’s okay.

@Brooklyn_99 they’re talking about shutting down all social media , and possibly having chips in us within the next decade and just complete control over us .

@justsomone1 They’ll never have complete control over us - so clear our brains are a mystery so it will be a long time of ever before control would actually work. Social media is a propaganda tool for all and any sides it won’t be shut down. The world was like this in the past just different technology- the 50’s gave rise to the 6”’s - the pendulum will swing back. So can you control all this - no - can you use ERP to manage your thoughts so you can have a life - not easily but yes.

Political OCD
Sometimes i think everyone on the right is evil. I ask myself “how can i love people with values different than mine?” I struggle accepting the fact my parents political beliefs are different than mine. I love them so much but it baffles me. We have talked and they say its fine to have different opinions but i can’t help but wonder if i’m doing something wrong by having my beliefs. And then with all the economic chaos today in the US, I can’t help but think that I was right about everything and I just feel like it is my fault that the world is in turmoil. Idk. I think i wish i could stop thinking about it but ever since the election cycle began around a year ago it has been dominating my life. I question myself, i question others, i appear very extremist and rigid and i don’t like it. I want my OCD to go away. Its apparently OCD but it feels so real right now. Can anyone relate? What are yalls thoughts on this subtype?

Paranoia
Paranoia… I need to know because I’m feeling very alone in this. I’ve never met someone with the level of paranoia that I have. I can logically explain things to myself and somehow my paranoia convinces me of another story. I’m constantly thinking exaggerated thoughts that there are so many scary possibilities. Am I alone in this or what? If so any suggestions on how to calm these thoughts

Real event
I’m stuck in a loop, I can’t stop avoiding the thoughts by watching tik tok, I’m paralyzed on the couch, I’m searching for clues everywhere that something bad is happening I don’t know how to go on like this anymore my fears are so strong so present they feel so real. Any mention of the future sends my whole body into panic. My arms go numb, I can’t keep living like this i feel like I’m going crazy
