can the fear of laughing be a symptom of sensorimotor ocd? i hyper-fixate on the "urge" to laugh and i become hyperaware of how my mouth feels when i see something that isn't appropriate to laugh at. i constantly check my mirror to make sure i'm not grinning and it's so debilitating

I’ve left multiple jobs due to ocd and now I can’t stop thinking about nuclear war and getting drafted and I’m fully convinced we are all doomed any day it can happen any hour of the day

And you can break that down too! I actually hold similar beliefs especially mixed with AI but I am not panicking about it, you can get there too!

I had this around climate change, and fear for my kids futures in an apocalyptic hellscape future. Lasted for months, bombarded my brain all day w terrible, anxious thoughts about it. I promise it will stop one day, tho that’s hard to see or believe when you are in it. But the deeper thing is to face your deepest, darkest fears: fear of death, or not having any control over your life, not knowing what the future wil bring, etc., because OCD is brilliant with finding those deepest fears and sinking its teeth into them. The ultimate solution therefore is to try to face the fear of fear itself. “We have nothing to fear but fear itself” is a famous quote that’s perfectly applicable to OCD.
I wish you the best, my friend. Things will get better and the theme itself (nuclear war, getting drafted, etc.) is not the important thing to focus on. It’s the fear cycle itself that you need to work on! The themes always change, and OCD will seize on whatever it can. Don’t get lost fixating on that surface froth.
