I’m so paranoid about everything that’s been going on in the world and I keep seeing it everywhere and I have a deep Fear of everything going wrong in the world getting crazy.

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.

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

Hypochondria

Im a hypochondriac and recently I’ve been seeing posts about sicknesses and I got worried why all of a sudden they’re popping up on my page. I always think it’s a sign and it scares me especially if i accidentally skip over the videos anyone else?

Struggling with the political state of America

I'm doing a lot better with my OCD episode but I'm finding it hard to cope with what's happening in my country. It's hard because it is scary and people keep telling me I should be afraid. That everything is over and it's the apocalypse. I don't think it's productive to be gripped with terror but I don't know how to calm down.
