Politics

Has anyone else become obsessed with something related to politics or news? For the past two weeks I can’t stop thinking about one issue and I end up researching it endlessly. And when I’m not researching it I’m ruminating on it constantly, basically from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep. I want to stop thinking about it because it’s exhausting but I feel like I can’t. I don’t know if this is my OCD manifesting or if I just have an obsessive brain and fixate on things. Has anyone else experienced something similar? Any tips on ERP for this?

These things might just be a series of coincidences but lately, if im reading about political/religious topics that are in my area of interest or directly affect me, i instantly start beliving the opposition is right and that the people on my side are all wrong or i doubt everything that my side believes and is fundamentally flawed and that we have all been mistaken. (even if its a million people on my side and even if there sizeable proof that supports us). This causes alof of discomfort and dread. This is kind of similar to the example above. If i was taught about certain things growing up now im all of a sudden questioning them and believing that again the opposition is right, it causes discomfort and dread. If i like a character, have always liked it or a show or whatever, my mind starts to look for flaws or inconsistencies in the show and if something my character did that was "morally wrong" i cant just let it slide, then i start losing my feelinfs towards it or my view is shifting and this disturbs me alot.

does anyone have any annoying ocd triggers? mine include anything scary or crime :( I love horror and true crime but can’t enjoy it without my state of mind being harmed :/
