Scary immoral thoughts

PLS HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

recently i've been having involuntary thoughts which obsess over the existence of morals..i'm so so scared because i know this is derealisation induced (as well as ocd and GAD anxiety) but the thoughts stay with me throughout the whole day.

i just obsess over the fact that morals are socially constructed and that they don't actually exist...i think about how the worst things (harming people) were only "bad" a couple centuries ago...

honestly it creeps me out so much because i think what if one day i lose my morals (which their existence i have no explanation for) and start doing horrible things? what if i do everything and anything because i don't care because morals don't exist?

the main thought is "good and bad don't exist" and it drives me crazy...

it makes me want to revert back to islam, because i had set rules and guidelines and they had an explanation and i didn't think about these things. however, i've tried and tried and i cannot seem to believe in something that has no evidence. it makes me feel so horrible knowing that we're living in this world with so much freedom ...this newly found freedom is scaring me so much.......

i'm really scared, please tell me that all of this is only ocd and anxiety and that it'll go away and that i'll be able to think normally and not so obsessively soon

the best way i can describe this is "depersonalisation derealisation harm ocd" 

it also makes me realise that i'd rather have harm ocd (which i have had) than this sh*t...

sad

(i haven't spoken to someone about this, i'm not on medication and never have been, and i don't do drugs/smoke/drink...i'm 16)

    We all have morals, and some peoples morals may not be the same as our own, the holer than though can come into this.

    i look on Morals as how deep I would go to hurt someone or steal something. To be a liar comes into the equation. I do not lie so sometimes my moral not to lie can sometimes hurt peoples feelings. 

    If you have no morals you may be a killer a murderer or a thief, we cannot protect ourselves  fro a thief or a liar, there morals are counterproductive to the order of the Society we live in

    Society has laws to follow, in that situation Societies Morals are laid down although set out by someone that is setting His own set of morals and expectations.

    What are your morals and expectations in life, your Morals are what you expect from others that are dealing with you. Hence the phrase no Morals comes to mind ?

    Just something extra to add, sorry

    When we are young we can have immoral thoughts when looking at someone of the opposite sex. The saying comes in effect  Look but do not touch comes to mind. A real problem I suppose that can cause problems in later life Lol

    Hi hannah09276,

    Yes, it does sound as if you're dwelling too hard on the negativities and also you're obviously a good person. You really don't need to be scared hannah09276 but I understand your feelings, sure. Stick to your morals, they're there for a reason, and stick to the truth in your heart, and you'll be okay. I'm not a psychologist but maybe it was an OCD or what they call 'intrusive thoughts' triggering your fears. You'll be okay, I think you're just trying to find your way and you're doing really well from what I can tell. All the best.
