I question the same thing. Sometimes way more.

I started just accepting this is MY reality and Iām okay not knowing why. I just know Iām here and living my life with meaning. I have struggled with the existence of others too- which hard when itās your family. But itās all just thoughts- there was a time you didnāt have these thoughts and these questions didnāt matter. Itās all ocd.

I had searched "questions that scientist ask" the same ones that came out the same ones I have I just have to accept that no one knows and move on. I never had these questions either before or I might've but I would move on from it easily and forget but I agree.

Hey guys so Iām new here and just recently started struggling with some health ocd and thinking I had a brain tumor but itās taken a turn for the worse and become this existential ocd where Iām questioning quite literally everything in my life, the purpose of being here and stuff. I just started meds yesterday, which is scary for me cause Iāve never been on them before. I keep having thoughts like, why does everything feel like a blur, whatās the meaning of this and I wake up every day with just existential dread. Iāve been having very vivid dreams that make dreaming and reality confusing I also am scared cause Iām dealing with some DP/DR as well. I just wish my life could go back to a few months ago before I knew all of this was possible. I guess Iām just writing this too get it off my chest and see if any of you all have gone through something similar and made it out okay?

Hi guys so this existential theme is like a final boss in all ocd themes for me. I just dont know what to do tbh. My main problem is that whatever iam doing my mind goes: whats the point? Iam watching tiktok about workout my mind goes: there is no point. Iam planning vacation: there is no point. Iam tired of this. I donāt know if its still ocd or what but what i know is that it complitelly ruining my life and i have zero peace. If someone can help me with these meaning of life and point of life thoughts i will be so gratefull because iam starting to feel hopeless.

Everyday I wake up with a pit in my stomach and it doesnāt go away. I question reality and if anything is real. How itās real and why itās real? Everyday I wake up Iām disappointed I donāt have answers to life. By answers I mean the afterlife (if there is one) I find it hard to accept someday our life ends. It makes me wonder if life even has a point. It consumes me everyday and I canāt function normally. I wonder what Iāll do when my family members pass and where theyāll go. If Iāll ever see them again. I cry every night because I genuinely donāt know how Iāll handle that one day. Iām deeply afraid of losing the people I love and never seeing them again. Overall, I question everything about life. Thereās so I donāt know and I know I canāt find the answer and that devastates me. I truly wonder how I got here and why I was chosen to be here. It freaks me out. I try to find solutions. For example, I consider myself agnostic. And I would like there to be a God but itās difficult for me to believe it without evidence. What if itās not real? And thereās so many things out there. I wonder if reincarnation is real or if itās just something us humans made up for comfort. Iām working on my relationship with God but I donāt know. I feel guilty because I feel like Iām only doing it because Iām afraid.
