If u have OCD is it normal to be afraid of everything yet nothing if that makes sense

In my case I've been afraid of pretty irrational things (like my life being a TV show). But something like the pandemic doesn't faze me.

@chichi 24 As my response indicated, I think I can relate to "silly" thoughts. "Maybe theyre real, maybe they're not".

I'm afraid all my fears will come to Life e.g monsters, urban legends, scary cartoons or that they are here and just watching me every little sounds creeps me out I know it's silly but I don't know just scared really need company

@chichi 24 What would you like to talk about? Note: You still may have thoughts and fears, but that's okay. Just let them be there.

@Ben84 It's kinda hard to let something so disturbing just be there more I think about it the more it scares really want it to stop but don't know what to do what would u do just asking

@chichi 24 Well I was just a little older than you when I had my fear that my life was a TV show. What would have been your advice to me back then?

@Ben84 I guess I would embrace it try to make fun of the whole thing if that would have been possible cause making something scary fun would be hard so what did u do to over come it

@chichi 24 Good question. It's hard to say. I think my values may have come into play. What did I want out of life? Are you familiar with Sept. 11? That major event happened and I think it slowly drew me out of my fear. I saw that the world needed me and ruminating on my obsessions wasn't helping me live the life I wanted. The world needs you too ☺!

@Ben84 I really would wanna make a difference but when ever I say "Today I'm gonna be a better person" by the end of the day I'm back with all sorts of mental problems and silly fears I have said I was gonna change so many times I stopped believing in it

@chichi 24 It may take time. It didn't happen overnight for me either. It was a long process, but I didn't fully understand what was wrong. You're aware you have OCD and that your thoughts can be OCD related. You're ahead of where I was ☺!

@Ben84 Well I just showed symptoms and I want to learn to handle it early but I'm not a doctor maybe I don't have OCD or maybe I nothing is wrong with me I really don't I'm kinda worried

@chichi 24 Even if you dont have OCD, learning to deal with uncertainty and anxiety is still a good life skill ☺.

@Ben84 Okay that's true thanks for taking the time to talk to me ☺️

@chichi 24 You're welcome ☺
