I think that my OCD thoughts are getting worse. I am not 100% better. I cannot watch a video, movie, or tv show without having the fear of someone cheating or being cheated on, particularly with a lot of people. I have been feeling dizzy all weekend long, plus I have been nauseated. I have tried to enjoy life, but now I have come to a realization that life will be hard because I have to deal with these issues every single day. I should go to sleep, but I am afraid to. It is not as bad as it used to be, but there are times when I wait for the world to end. I have been having thoughts about racism and I have not written in a journal in months because I thought I was getting better, but right now, I am getting worse. After a fun holiday season, I am down. I need help and I don't know what to do. I just need someone to talk to.

You say you have not written in a journal for a while. Did you stop because you were feeling better? Do you think that writing now might be of some help?

I'm sorry things seem a lot worse right now. Do you have a therapist or anyone like that around with whom you can make contact?

What has helped in the past when you felt this way?

the dizziness and nausia are stress induced by your worrying yourself over things you have no control over in regards to the visual stimulation you are trying to avoid, let it go.

life is hard full stop but you will deal with it. and eventually you will go to sleep whether you want to or not.

suggest you reread the journal you started to see how things have changed and why since your last entry.

My answer:

Your best bet right now is to do what you were keen enough to observe for yourself ... and that is to get some sleep.

Sleep can be quite restorative and just may put your racing thoughts / worries at ease for a little while. Sort of a respite from all of the mental anxiety that you've been experiencing.

Additionally, no need to worry about the world ending abruptly. Leave it up to God to decide just when that will occur. OK? A lot of things need to happen between now and then for that prospect to come to pass. If you study your Bible, you'll see that certain things need / will occur before the world as we know it passes away.

Pray. Hope. And don't worry.

Best wishes,

vertebrae
Thanks for this!
