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.

Just wondering if anyone else has fears about the world ending, or dooms day type stuff that would in all honesty probably never happen; like asteroids, alien invasion, nuclear war, government take over, science fiction stuff. These are constant intrusive thoughts of mine after I heard about conspiracy theories about aliens and other science fiction stuff earlier this year.

World Event Anxiety
Recent world events have me stressing so much about the state of the world and I’m panicked that the world is gonna end and I won’t be able to live the life I want and the thought of other people suffering is incredibly distressing. It’s stupid I know. But I can’t rly enjoy anything. The second I enjoy myself a thought pops in like “hey you can’t be happy right now, remember this?” And it’s super stressful. I know I have no control so it’s pointless to stress about but I felt this way during Covid too. I hope nothing escalates to the point of like, apocalyptic catastrophe but my brain won’t let the thought go. It’s so silly I know.
