I have been going through the same thing. I found I was looking at too much social media posts with so many different people talking about it now. What helped me to feel better was the older generations saying people have been saying this since they were young. I keep thinking to myself ..no one knows, but then I can’t help but worry about it. I’m trying to avoid being on social media due to the amount of comments.
People literally do say this all the time. Have been since I was a kid. BUT, if you’re a Christian, and I’m assuming you are if you believe that this is something that will happen, then this is part of the plan that happens before the new kingdom. The unknown is scary but have faith and pray about your fears. Give them to God
Hi! I’ve been feeling the same—anxious and overwhelmed by the state of the world. Social media only intensifies it, with algorithms triggering our fear responses to keep us hooked. What helped me was reading about how fear has been used by religious and political leaders during major events like the Cold War, WWII, 9/11, and others. I even had an AI write an essay on it, which certainly helped me calm down and see things more clearly. If you’re someone of faith, I'd recommend you to disconnect from social media (especially on creators that use this as an excuse to get you to follow them and not to get you closer to your faith), and find hope and joy in the world by going outside and exploring it. Remember that you are currently safe and that you are what you consume. Focusing on the negative will not stop your rumination, but working on yourself and disconnecting may help you a lot. I hope this has helped you in any way, God bless you and stay positive :)
There’s a guy names mark de Jesus on YouTube who has helped me tremendously with ocd and he has a segment on this :)
guys im so scared right now and i know my ocd is making it worse. i keep reading things online about the antichrist and whatever and im so so so scared. i keep reading things and i feel so scared like im choosing a wrong side or something. but i know i love God and Jesus. im so worried im wrong and i have no idea how to overcome this one :( sorry if this scares anyone or anything but any help would be very appreciated
I opened one of my old bibles and it was mark 13 talking about Jesus second coming which is what I’ve been thinking about a lot recently because it’s a heavy topic right now and my ocd also clings to that and I try and pray and pray but I wonder if He was speaking to me telling me He is coming soon because I never ever read that bible I just felt like looking at it and now I don’t know what to do with the information if it was confirmation that he’s coming soon I don’t know how soon or he’s telling me to get ready and I’m kind of afraid and don’t know how to find comfort.
So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
