Conspiracy and anxiety

[RiskyBoots]

Hi all

I've really been struggling with biblical conspiracy theories. I don't know why, but I feel like my brain forces me to look into these things even if I don't want to. It's bound to happen, just being on the internet recently I ran into a dedicated biblical conspiracy Subreddit, and it's just so anxiety provoking. Also while on YouTube today, I came across a "the bible is the mark of the beast" YouTube channel. I know these things are false, but something in my brain just forces me to worry and keep thinking about this stupid stuff. I wish I could just wipe all the imagery and conspiracy from my brain.

I want to break freee

Why do you think your brain forces you to look at things ?
Have you discussed this with a qulified medical person?

Do you suffer from 'intrusive thoughts ', thoughts that argue/talk to you either accusingly or persuaisvly to do thing.
If so you need to learn how to cope with intrusive thoughts.

You have to start by not watching that stuff. They affect your mind. Just know that they are not presenting things that are true and factual, so by watching that stuff, you are forcing your mind to be occupied by them. Substitute them by watching other wholesome and good things. Watch things that are truthful and accurate. Watch good programs and movies that portray bible accurately. Watch things that will create in you sound mind, not doubt and anxiety. There are plenty of good stuff to watch. That, will keep your mind off of the junk that's out there.
