Scared of future

OCD definitely makes me feel like my future is nothing but bad. A bunch of what ifs and it feels super anxiety inducing. I remind myself that no matter how bad my life gets, I never want to harm myself or end my life. I want to get through each struggle in a healthy manner. I just have a fear of bad things happening in my life and Im scared how I would react to it. My OCD is definitely super anxiety inducing and I would love for anyone to share their thoughts.

I also have suicidal ocd it really is stressful worrying you maybe one day may what to hurt yourself and fighting your thoughts all the time . I have been doing ERP and and working on not doing my compulsions and I feel that I am slowly getting better highly recommend looking up how to treat OCD if you don’t already know how to get some relief that OCD stereotype really sucks.

Fear of future events

How can I stop obsessing over future events and there potential outcome (personal failure etc)? I've noticed that I start to analyse the situation compulsively and think about every scenario possible. It causes lots of anxiety. This is probably also OCD?

Hard time with harm ocd

I have a really hard time with harm ocd. It makes me believe that I would do in the near future surely something bad… And I don’t know what to do to make me feel better. I started to sit with uncertainty and accept the presence of my thoughts but it feels like I accept the content. I’m desperate, I think that I’ll suffer all my life with that. I know that there are ups and downs but those downs are really scary, demotivating, unhopeful.

Future!

Hi! I have a recurring thought that I need help reasoning about. I'm 21 years old and have been struggling with OCD since I was very young, and it's been worse than ever since I turned 16. Anyway, I'm young now and I don't plan on having children until I'm maybe around 30. Unfortunately, I have a strong fear for the future, what if I can't have children because they might also be affected by OCD? I've experienced most themes, and I wouldn't wish this terrible illness on my worst enemy, so how can I possibly risk my future child having it?
