    Not sure if I should talk in a different language but I'll try English first to help you but you're in the late phases of O.C.D. 

    This is gonna be hard for you to combat this because you usually have to fight this at a young age but what you should do is talk to somebody you really trust. You're overwhelmed at this stage you really need help like a therapist but you and you may have to result to some anti-anxiety medications (not abuse them). 

    Right now this will be very hard to listen to but we are all going to die in one way or another, I know you're fixiated on it because you're worried about what happens after death. You feel constantly at war with the ideas one thought leads onto the next and then the next and youf feel like you don't know what to do. But you need to take steps to help you zone out and get a break from that way of thinking. 

    I know you feel afraid but if I tell you not to think of something like a lion, you're going to think of it, ain't you? But you have to let the thought pass, move on let it go. But this is for later on, you need help to talk to somebody. I hope this helps.

      Go listen to a song Bathory - Ring of Gold, helps me all the time. 

      I ain't gonna lie when it hits in the twenties it's kind of a long term thing you have to deal with it as it comes and goes. But take a little bit of valium to take the ease off the thoughts but don't take it everyday. 

      Watch cartoons helps for me.
