Looking towards the future
Ive been doing great for months but since yesterday have been having intense obsessive thoughts about global Politics and war for no reason. I think it will pass but it is hard...

Glad I’m not the only one with this OCD theme. Not that is voting or joining activist groups does not matter, BUT I could know EVERYTHING about how the Israel Palestine conflicts works, I could know EVERYTHING about how the Ukraine Russia conflict works, Hell I could know THE answer of who is right and wrong and how to fix it etc. But even then I still wouldn’t be in a position to stop it and bring about world peace. FYI this advice sounds way more basic and boring and unhelpful out loud than it did in my head haha The point is I’ve learned the HARD and LONG way that caring is good but channeling it through acts of kindness to whomever you meet is honestly the most EFFECTIVE way to affect the world.

@annatonks WHAAAAAT DOPE I was super lucky to be able to see her last year so all I can say is it will be THE night of your life I went completely feral when she sang Cruel Summer Also does the bridge line sound like: “He looks up grinning like a devil” Or “He looks so pretty like a devil” ? I hear the second one even though that’s not the actual lyrics haha

News stories
I keep getting triggered by news stories related to my obsessive thoughts. I was feeling ok for a few days but now I'm spiralling again because of the news.

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?

OCD
I’ve been triggered so bad this week I’ve had bad anxiety and feel depression coming on. Last night I had a thought oh let’s plan it and I immediately thought why would I think that and started crying bad. I’ve had these thoughts for 7 months I really don’t know why I’m having these thoughts, if I knew I would work on it. Like people say has something happened in your life for you to have these thoughts and nothing has happened, it all started off from what if thoughts , like “what if I’m a psycho” because I saw this fb post saying introverts are more likely to become psychopaths and it all spiralled from there I started getting thoughts about harm towards others and myself. What do you think guys should I treat it like ocd or do you think there’s something seriously wrong with me.
