Obsession I need to quit and wipe

Post Reply New Topic

Ok this is driving me nuts and I would like to wipe it from my mind.

I use to be on a regular forum and somebody asked the question what happens when the oil runs out.
A link was provided to the Peak Oil.

From peak oil boards I then followed to Alex Jones and his Infowars around 2006.
Something was telling me he was not giving the full story about the so called New World Order.

I have since discovered the Jewish control of banking media and their stranglehold on western Governments.

I find myself watching David Dukes videos.

I have also watched and read up a lot of stuff about NDEs Near death experience.

I forgot to throw in how the Iraq war got me into all the above political stuff.

I did not come here to debate the above subjects the Jewish control of media is real.

The real question how do I stop concentrating on things that only drag me down and have no direct affect on my life?

Would SSRIs be worth a try?

I was always obsessed by things but before my internet days it was things like Star Trek and Star Wars.

Two more things I was made redundant from a job I was in for a long time about 18 months ago and nearly 3 years ago a person I was close to died and I think about this everyday.

I really wish I was a fun person and I could look to positive happy things.

Maybe find a bigger interest?

Maybe an Competitive game? Like League or Starcraft?

That is not a bad idea really.

Acknowleging your anti-semitism as an issue might be a good start.......

I believe I just did that.

I did say I wanted to wipe this from my mind.

Agreed, the best therapy for eliminating negative thought processes (for me) is occupying my mind with anything else. The busier you are, the less time you have to ruminate on things that are detrimental to your anxiety levels. Video games, good books (not related to the initial topic), new tv shows and athletic activities keep me afloat. In fact, I attribute A Song of Ice and Fire to one of the more peaceful and fantastic one year periods in my life. Lately, table tennis and bodybuilding have kept me from researching various aspects of the flu season, thankfully.

I have the same tendency and often waste so much time without being productive at all in any way. Things that I read in the newspaper or something, particularly about certain unfair things that happened, can make me angry and I keep thinking about them. Sometimes something from a decade ago can come back to my mind and haunt me. So I avoid reading papers or watching tv news. A doctor told me it's a kind of OCD. It significantly affected my study etc, because I might be sitting for hours ruminating on totally irrelevant things when I was trying to study. Trying to force myself to stop it didn't help because even if I try to do other things, part of my mind is still subconsciously telling me that I should not let it go and doesn't let me focus on the other things.

Sorry I ended up just telling my story. I'm sorry about your losses. I think unhappy events can sometims make your obsessive tendency even worse.

I noticed when I find something truly interesting, I can keep away from the habit. Being very busy can also help. It doesn't suddenly change, but getting into a routine that keeps you busy in a productive way can gradually change your habit. Or at least it seems the case with me. Also, feeling happy and positive somehow keeps my mind relax and not focus on the negative thoughts.

Yes thanks I really do need to keep myself busy.

I think you need to fine-tune your bullshit-detector. Of course obsessive thoughts are a lot more serious than just that and have little to do with rationality, and I think it's a good idea to see a therapist.

Maybe you should spend some hours browsing something more benign, like TvTropes? There are articles about almost every trope and cliche and plot device ever used in a movie/game/etc, which should satisfy wanting to know what goes on behind the scenes. Also it's really really fun.

I was concerned about peak oil for a few years, I got on to the peak oil study from my general obsession with the end of the world/civilisation.
Eventually I can to the conclusion that we all might be OK, unless the government does something stupid like artificially lower the price of oil thus stopping the free market doing what it does and letting better alternative come through.

As for the new world order stuff, sometimes I think a small group (maybe Jewish bankers but their religion is not relevant) might be in charge of the world and manipulating us all into slavery and death, I don't really think it exists....... though maybe???



Ive never had to stop an obsession though, generally their will be a tangent of my researching that is left unexplored and thus it just kind of morphs into something a little different and then a little different again. At the minute In thinking and wondering how to produce enough power to grow food after an ice age type event. I'm thinking wind power if I can figure out how to not have the turbines freeze up. Maybe the CSIRO will let me go to Antarctica and try a few things out??

Hmm, I don't think you'd need Antarctica; northern Canada, Alaska, or Russia would work fine, too. Plenty cold there. I don't think an ice age type event would involve glaciers over everything, though. I don't think they'd advance much farther south than Ohio, which is where they stopped last time. It would involve more moving toward the equator than learning to live on ice sheets. At least, I think it would.

The idea of branching out from your current obsession into one that's more healthy for you could be a good one. Perhaps something in the area of science rather than conspiracy theories; science tends to intrigue many of us.

just....stay...away...from conspiracy thinking. It does no good at all.

This.

At last I agree.

Remember this: "The Jooz" aren't out to get you - that is merely senseless chatter from Right-wing extremists carrying over the animosity of the Nazis and other anti-Semitic (I hate this word, as the term Semitic refers to all persons of Middle Eastern origin, not just "The Jews"). Alex Jones is not exactly someone one should take much stock in. I can definitely understand the concerns about exhausting the oil supply and the potentially catastrophic economic consequences that may result, but blaming everything on a single group of people isn't very logical. If you wish to still follow him, just think to yourself "What are the other sides of the story?" As Straczynski famously stated: "Understanding is a three-edged sword: Your side, their side and the truth."

Rupert Murdoch is Jewish?
