Help. anxiety solipsism OCD thoughts?????? I'm so scared!!!!!!!!!

[lop5678]

Hello everyone.  I am 18 years old and about 2 months ago i started having these thoughts about whether the world is real.  I got so scared and I started feeling this thing called derealization.   I started questioning whether or not other people exist and were simply a figment of my imagination.   Now it has gotten extremely worse.  I keep thinking that I am living in some kind of simulation and some alien form is controlling my life and experiences.
Also weird coincidences are what trigger these thoughts in my mind and makes me believe that my life is a simulation  For example sometimes I hear a word on tv or the radio and I see that word somewhere at exactly the same time.  Other times I don't remember doing certain things.  For example yesterday when i got back to my car, the window was down.   But the thing is I don't remember putting the window down.  And I get these thoughts that what if these things are glitches in the simulation or that this alien deity is trying to hint at me that this world isn't real.  I know it sounds ridiculous but I just don't know what to do.  And even If I start to feel better I begin to thing what if the simulation is just making me believe I feel better.  So i am basically kinda stuck.   My thoughts somehow just find loophole and loopholes and there is no escape.  Maybe this anxiety is causing me to be paranoid.  I'm not sure. Please someone help.  I can't even look at my family without questioning if they are real or not.  I love my family but these thoughts just keep popping inside my head. I can't even go to college right now because I think what's the point if everything isn't real.  I started taking prozac a few days ago and I'm hoping it will help a bit.  But this has been giving me huge anxiety and depression and I can't take it anymore.  Sometimes I feel like ending my life but I know I won't do it.  Because deep down inside I know its all in my head.   I am so scared right now and i feel as though i am forever trapped in these thoughts. I just want to enjoy my life

Any help would me much appreciated.  :)

This post is a couple years old, so hopefully the person is okay now, but the person isn't describing OCD.  It's a diagnosis that is so overused now it's ridiculous, and mostly because several drugs got new approvals from FDA to extend their patents to cover it.  I think nobody answered this post because the description is very hard to follow but nothing in it describes OCD.

Oh woops I didn’t realise this was old. The reason for my comment is that I have this same fear and wS diagnosed with obsessive thinking anxiety and OCD last year

Yeah, this is a common thing these days, people with obsessive thinking being diagnosed with OCD.  You apparently have OCD, but most people don't.  Obsessive thinking is common to all mental disorders and also to people who are just perfectionists or highly committed.  OCD is when it spills over into repeated ritualistic behavior.  If it doesn't do that, then, although there are "categories" of OCD now they aren't treated any differently than any other form of anxiety.  Hope you're doing well.
