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.

I know I keep talking about This but I’m too tired :( I’m really struggling and I don’t know what to do anymore. I feel like I might be the only person who experiences this in the way I do. It’s gotten so bad that during intimacy or self-pleasure, I feel like I’m acting on a thought — like my body is moving because of it. It’s terrifying and deeply hurtful. The moment it happens, I immediately panic, try to rewind everything in my head, and ruminate to figure out what I was thinking at that exact second… but I can never remember. That makes it even worse. feel so lost and hopeless, like I’ll never be able to heal or move on from this. People tell me “it’s just OCD,” but it doesn’t feel like OCD to me. It feels like I’m the exception — like no one else truly experiences it like this, especially the part where it feels like I physically responded to a thought. I know people say “others go through this too,” but my mind keeps saying, “not like this, not this specific thing.”Sometimes I just wish I could go back and relive those moments so I could be sure what happened, but I know that’s not possible. I feel so stuck in guilt and doubt that I don’t even know who I am anymore. I’m scared I’m a bad person and that I’ll always feel this way. I’ll never be free or be the same again everyday I live with deep depression

No I’m not attempting or anything. I am just really in a depressive state as of now. I am so convinced that my fear is real you don’t even know. I don’t know what to do. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in a reality where this is all gone. But honestly I don’t know if that would change anything. I’m scared that this is who I was all along, and I’ve just been delaying what I will eventually become. I don’t want to do ANYTHING that my intrusive thoughts say AT ALL. But honestly that doesn’t mean anything anymore. I’m so convinced of the thought “you’ve been doing it this whole time without realizing it.” I think it’s true now. I feel incredibly stuck. I just want to be hugged :(

I CAN'T STOP THOUGHTS. I think about meaning of life, time, afterlife and other shit. I can't stop thinking. I cannot distract myself. When my thoughts are the worst I'm thinking about su*cide, and it scares me because I'm not suicidal and I don't want to die. But what if I do something with myself? Please I want any advice what to do, I can't afford therapy at the moment
