OCD fueling GAD

[thewalkindude]

I think I have become addicted to a website about the collapse of society. I hate it, I don't want to visit it, and yet, I find myself compelled to visit it every couple of hours. I also find myself compulsively checking CNN to make sure that the world is still carrying on. If I don;t visit these sites, I find myself getting anxious, and I think that the info that I'm getting from them is the root of my fear over the future. Essentially, it's a vicious circle. I fear societal collapse, which brings me to that website, which further fuels my fear. Any ideas as to how I can break the "collapse-fear cycle"?
