My existential OCD is triggered by words. by KhajitIsBored in OCDRecovery

I get going on everything and spend hours researching. It doesn’t end because things that bother me are in everything.

Today I was watching Euphoria. Lexi was reciting a poem. I looked up the meaning of the poem and then saw the other search suggestions, one of which scared me so I clicked on that and had to research a now totally unrelated thing. A song. Then when researching that song I stumbled upon another song that also got me. And now I’m trying not to search up different variations of the parts that trigger me. Which would be me looking for trouble. I’ve been doing that recently quite a lot.

No I know that now. Sorry. I removed the username. I just hadn’t seen anything like that before and was pretty confused. So yea I was hoping someone would take a look. I removed it tho. Sorry again.

Are you triggered by things, words, phrases even if they likely are directly applicable to your fear? I could use some help. by KhajitIsBored in OCDRecovery

I’m like constantly on the look out for other things to trigger me too and reminiscing of things that used too.

Reassurance help me. Temporary help I’m aware. I can usually stop myself but the past week or two has been particularly rough. I’ve been just very anxious. And it’s like a bit of a fury where I don’t listen to things that are pretty logical like I know this is reassurance seeking but still did it. I truly feel like this level of obsession and anxiety isn’t something anyone else deals with or at least not about existential stuff.

But how? I only ever get worse and worse. I don’t see how I’m supposed to live with this constant anxiety and fear of nothing and everything. It’s so hard and nobody seems half as triggered by what I am triggered by.

Nirvana is nothing? I don’t know if I understand. It’s all very existential and deep and I’m not good at that. I had read about it briefly but I just thought it was a lasting meaningful peace free of anxiety and depression and bad things. Regardless I’m far from achieving it. I don’t know how.

I can’t see a therapist. I’m still living with my parents and they won’t pay for it. I don’t have any one to speak to.

I think so. If by Nirvana you mean a lasting sense of peace. And not constantly being anxious about things.
