Hi all
I am writing because I need a bit of advice and support
I have had OCD for many years and it has been on an off but in the last few years has been ok and I have been taking a low dosage of medication that has been keeping me stable
My OCD has come back in the last year with the war in Ukraine and the news in tv and internet etc
My fear is this shall lead to nuclear war. So that’s the basic outline. Since the invasion there has been two main times of anxiety
The first was at the start of the invasion for about a months with the talk of putting nuclear weapons on readiness
For about 6 months following this I felt a lot better and did not obsess about it
I went on holiday had fun etc
The second time was about a month ago when the talk was about using nuclear weapons because the war was not going so well for the Russians
Since then it has stayed and remained at the same level of anxiety
I am looking for ways to make my mind relax and not obsess about this and feel more secure about the future
Any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks
