I think about this sometimes too. It's tough but at the end of the day all of the universe is made of separate tiny pieces and that's what makes it beautiful. We are the universe itself, you are also a part of something bigger. Something extraordinary. It's a beautiful thing.

I think you may be looking at it with the wrong perspective. I used to struggle with fearing this too. However, now I'm so intrigued by it and feel so blessed. I am nothing and I don't need to be. I don't need to have some grand purpose for life and existence. Thats just my ego fooling me. Now I feel I can relax and do what I was meant to, just enjoy the gift that is life. Who knows what comes after? We don't need to know. But the truth will be revealed in time. Until then, just relax and dream up a good life. :)

I understand how hard existential OCD is. For example, sometimes I start thinking, "What is the point of me being a vegetarian if so many other people eat and use meat all the time?" Basically, my advice is, there are a lot of questions out there like this that don't have solid answers. Try to accept that you won't have the answers and that you don't need to find them, as tempting as it is to try.

Two things are happening: I get thoughts that just keep looping. They almost feel like song stuck in my head. Also, I’ll imagine something and I feel my stomach drop. Then as the seconds go by I keep getting fragments of the this thought but with different details. For example, it’s kinda like how a “vision” is portrayed. I’ll get a glimpse of the thought and then it’ll rapidly expand into something worse every few seconds. I don’t know if I’m causing this or if it’s just an automatic thing like any other intrusive thought. It feels unavoidable, idk if this is a compulsion or if it’s just another manifestation of an intrusive thought. Apart from that remembering an intrusive thought triggers the full thought again and then it just keeps looping or expanding. I don’t know how to stop any of this. Help?

I can't live with OCD anymore. It's ruining my life. I feel like I'm being constantly bullied in my own mind all day everyday. I don't know if what I think and feel is ever real or normal or okay, what is me and what is the OCD thoughts. I don't know if any of my experiences are normal. I'm exhausted from picking apart every single conversation I ever have with anyone until I'm strung out by a vague and ambiguous feeling of guilt. I'm tired of feeling like I'm a bad person and feeling scared all the time and not knowing why and having my brain spin me out on an endless spiralling train of thoughts that never goes anywhere and just makes me feel disconnected from everything and everyone around me. I don't know what I feel and if what I feel is normal or if anything I am doing is real and actually me or if I'm 'losing my mind.' I don't even know if this makes any sense. I get into these states of mind where every thought in my head and everything I feel and perceive makes me question my own sanity. I don't know if anyone likes me because I have absolutely no concept of what I am actually like. I feel completely lost and confused CONSTANTLY.
