OCD and the world of manifestation

I came across manifestation a month ago on Tiktok then found Neville Goddard and Joseph Murphys work. Basically whatever belief/thought/feeling you have will manifest into your "3D" world (aka outer reality). But it confuses me. Every negative thought/feeling/belief or intrusive thoughts in general never ever come true for people. It's mostly the fear and anxiety that causes those thoughts and question your assumptions about things that aren't even true or unnecessary. It leads to searching things on google or social media - compulsions and rumination as well. People with OCD like me with have a single negative feeling and thought for MONTHS on end but never come true? So why do people on manifesting forums always say "you attract your fears" "every thought creates" "everything happens because of you" ? This seems stressful for people with mental health issues but they say you can always "revise" that or they don't believe in mental health at all. They think a repeated affirmation will be planted into your subconscious and will manifest but what about people who repeat affirmations or doubts in relations about their ocd (HOCD for example - “Does this mean I’m gay, bi, straight, etc?” over and over again for months or ROCD thinking how much your partner doesn't love you anymore for a year just worrying they will leave you) they'll say "oh yeah that'll form a belief and manifest into your reality!" but huh? It doesn't make any sense to me.

ocd is your thoughts intruding doesn’t mean it’s real or it’s happening, rocd i’m convinced my partner hates me, cheating etc. it’s not because he’s showing me why but because i think he is. doesn’t mean it’s true, however my boyfriend gets mad because i accuse him of cheating over and over. which i am convinced he is.. so he starts disliking me, im thinking it’s true im reacting like it’s true. it’s my actions. not my thoughts. A lot of people who repeat affirmations usually do actions as well. Nobody think the same 1000 thoughts and it comes true, A lot of people believe that spirits and things make true, but it’s usually actions. Actions make things happen so people who do affirmations are like putting their dreams into action basically it’s their mindset they’re creating a mindset for something positive for something to happen and usually they have this mindset for so long they subconsciously do things to make that thing happen. they repeat their thoughts, hoping it will change the reality but the only reality that changes is the one that they may happen I used to believe in affirmations. I used to tell myself 1000 times every single day that my boyfriend will love me or you should write on every single piece of paper that mean he’s gonna get married, that he’s going to love me so much more than he’s ever loved me before but nothing changes. Nothing changes and it’s been years because I can’t control other people I can’t make the universe go around my thoughts a lot of people who have affirmations they don’t come true unless it’s in reaching distance.

Perfectionism OCD and rumination

There’s this one situation that I haven’t stopped thinking about from last night . So basically, I was reading 'The power of Now' which is a book that I love so much and really got me into spirituality. It’s been so helpful for my OCD and rumination but it’s also been pretty triggering for it as of late, so I’ve taken a long break from consistently reading it. The excerpt I read was about abundance and how its not about being bountiful, necessarily in material things but realizing and being grateful for the things that exist in your life now and in doing so, you will open yourself up to more good things. I understood it but I re-read it a lot because I didn't feel confident enough to explain it to someone else. but otherwise I LOVED IT. It made me feel so at peace, I agreed with it, and it gave me hope to start focusing on the good things in my life rather than the bad. So when I went to bed I rehearsed myself explaining it to someone on a podcast and then all these questions started flooding in like “why should I only focus on the good and aren't we supposed to accept the good and bad? Aren’t those the values of Buddha and spirituality” “Ya, we're supposed to accept the good and the bad but why?- so we can feel more good??? And isn't the point of OCD to not label things as good and bad? and why should I focus on the good- so I can feel good? why should I feel good? because I'm worthy of it? why am I worthy of it? because I'm a good person and do good things? well I’ve also done bad things so why shouldn't I consider that. I just don’t understand why I should feel good without it being selfish. And then this went on for like 2 or 3 hours. Like holy shit. I over explain these ideas and concepts that I resonate with to the point where they don't even make sense to me anymore. It becomes very existensial very quick. And I’m not suicidal but these questions make me feel hopeless in society for some reason?? And myself. Like if everything contradicts everything then what’s the point to life? If nothing can be understood or explained in a senseful way, then how do people move forward and make decisions, like AT ALL? There’s never a right or perfect answer and I feel like with any decision I make in regards, I’m doing a compulsion either way. If I don’t answer them, then I’m avoiding it and if I do then I’m checking and seeking reassurance. I’m sorry if this was way too long and over-explained I just need some advice or to know if anyone can relate in any way. Also, I’m sorry if some of those back-to-back questions were triggering.

Confusing OCD with instinct

Does anyone ever feel like you know you have OCD, but at the same time you think it might actually be you connecting to a higher consciousness or vibration that is trying to control your decisions so that the outcome does not turn out bad kind of like the butterfly effect. It drives me crazy because I know I’m conscious that it’s OCD but at the same time I overthink and feel like it might be a higher power trying to warn me that I’m not doing something right, like example; if I flip the trash can lid a couple more times it’s going to pervert something bad from happening and that why I’m sensing I’m not doing it right, because if I spent a little more time there and if I would have left earlier the outcome would’ve been different. Or say I just fight through it and choose to ignore it, but then I’ll carry that negativity/worry of not feeling like I did it right and will project it out into existence because the thought won’t leave my head and in a way your seeking it out into existence since you keep thinking about it, kind of like an affirmation?

Magical Thinking

I am extremely afraid to get pregnant because of these can anyone please help me. I have OCD, and it involves thought-action fusion. Because of my OCD, I struggle to logically understand how thoughts could turn into actions.What is meant by thoughts are thoughts only. I feel like my thoughts might turn into actions just because I think them in detail ( ex if i think something bad with detaily who meet accident then it will happen to my family also )Can thoughts really turn into actions if I think about them deeply? Can anyone please help me 🙏🙏😭
