It’s really bothering me too. I’m discusted by what is happening to people of color but it doesn’t mean all white people are bad!! I really don’t appreciate when people say thing like “use your white privilage to *insert sentence*’ or “if you don’t show support you’re the problem” when really I just don’t post about heavy topics on social media. it’s really frustrating because I love people who are black, white, brown, I love everyone and so does everyone I know. None of us would ever do something like that. We support people who are black and I don’t like being yelled at for something our ancestors did or something terrible sick people did. I don’t like being accused of being racist because I’m white. We would never do those things- it’s not ALL white people!!! There’s just some sick people on this earth. (I’m probably gonna get a lot of crap for this post, please no one do. I know my feelings aren’t as important as what’s going on but I’m allowed to have feelings too.)

I feel similar. There is a lot of uproar right now over police brutality against black people and though I think I support Black Lives Matter and the protesters my OCD seems to be trying to convince me that I don’t care or that I only care because I know that I should not because I actually do. It’s so confusing ahh honestly I just wish for one moment I could look at this issue as a normal person would, not a person with an ocd brain, so I could see the truth about what I believe.

PLEASE do not argue over political stances in this post that is not what this is for at all. For context I consider myself someone with mixed views (politically homeless) and I am connected with people of all stripes and beliefs and stances. After the inauguration in the USA this weekend there has been an overwhelming response from the populace especially online. I feel like I’m completely surrounded by people (on every “side”) who are making very intense and unyielding statements about other people’s morals and values and “good-“ or “bad-ness” based on their beliefs, opinions, responses or non responses to all the different things going on politically. I feel like it’s driving me insane. My head has been spinning constantly and I can’t stop crying. I feel like I’m drowning and cornered and under a police interrogation light. I’m so terrified of saying or doing or thinking or not thinking the “wrong” thing, I’m feeling my heart being torn in so many directions and I’m struggling to stop ruminating and spiraling over feeling like I don’t belong anywhere and no matter what I’m always going to be evil to someone. This is not me taking a side or revealing what I think, or trying to make an implied judgment or comment on ANY political figure, policy, etc….My point is: the issue I’m having is with the way people are talking about these issues and about other people in the midst of these issues, so black and white, so moralistic, and my OCD is having a field day. Just looking for camaraderie and to know I’m not alone in this. I please ask again do not bring up specific political issues or take stances in the comments. Thank you.

I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.

Sometimes i think everyone on the right is evil. I ask myself “how can i love people with values different than mine?” I struggle accepting the fact my parents political beliefs are different than mine. I love them so much but it baffles me. We have talked and they say its fine to have different opinions but i can’t help but wonder if i’m doing something wrong by having my beliefs. And then with all the economic chaos today in the US, I can’t help but think that I was right about everything and I just feel like it is my fault that the world is in turmoil. Idk. I think i wish i could stop thinking about it but ever since the election cycle began around a year ago it has been dominating my life. I question myself, i question others, i appear very extremist and rigid and i don’t like it. I want my OCD to go away. Its apparently OCD but it feels so real right now. Can anyone relate? What are yalls thoughts on this subtype?
