Anyone else?

Does anyone else feel like when they mention someone they are talking to, to their friends they start to think the universe is against them and gonna mess it up? Because that’s what I’m going through right now. I notice things and things that have always been going on but now I think “oh now it’s because you talked about him now the universe is gonna ruin it for you” and I’m beyond stressed! So what if he’s left me on delivered for a while, that doesn’t mean anything right?? Idk I’m stressed out I feel like I’ve ruined it because I’ve talked about him, regretting it and I wish I left it a secret

I feel this same way. I keep things to myself often because I’m afraid if I say anything to anyone about things I’m excited for in life that I will somehow jinx things and it will be ruined

@Tori13 Literally! That’s exactly what I’m going through rn! My flatmate made a good point though. If you do mention it and put it out into the world think of it with positivity not negativity. It’s the positive energy you’re putting out. She literally just told me this because I was feeling incredibly anxious

Good point from your flatmate! I’ll have to try that. I never thought anyone else knew what I was talking about when I said this but it’s nice to know I’m not alone in it. I wonder if it is directly OCD related and what it might be called?

@Tori13 Same I thought I was the only one, I hate that you also have it because I know how painful it is but it’s nice to know I’m not alone. Honestly what she said really helped but I’m still sat here just waiting for a reply thinking I’ve messed up. Yeah idk if it is or not, it’s definitely anxiety related

@godihatemondays Yes it’s definitely not enjoyable at all but at least we know someone else understands it. I think it’s important to realize that just because you say something (or don’t), it doesn’t directly affect things that are out of your control

@godihatemondays Also would you say that you’re a reserved person? I have found that I keep to myself more now than ever because of these feelings

@Tori13 I’m definitely trying hard to realise that, it’s like I have a lil demon telling me otherwise which is so annoying. But your words really do make me feel more grounded! Also, I’ve always been a people’s person, with people I’m close with I’m not reserved, but recently because of this anxiety yes I have become a bit more. The worst part is I always look for people to agree or disagree to tell me my stresses are normal to sorta look for people to help which with these thoughts of thinking I’m ruining my life, that doesn’t help. So I find myself trying to be yes. It’s not helpful, either way it doesn’t feel helpful so I understand

@godihatemondays I definitely understand the annoying little voice always being there, but that makes sense to me. I may ask my therapist more about what causes this kind of thought process and if I hear anything helpful back I’ll let you know!

@Tori13 I think that would be a really good idea to bring it up, they may know some ways to deal and they may have a better outlook than what we both try to make of it! There is zero pressure to tell me to even them, but if you do and they come up with some great ideas I would be so thankful! X

Saying intrusive thoughts out load

Anyone ever have a conversation and think you said a intrusive thoughts out loud. Then you panic and go over and over the convo , reviewing it and remembering people's reactions,to see if they noticed your thoughts or read your lips? Sometimes it feels like I have to look away when talking as the thoughts could be shouted out if we make eye contact .such a powerful erge to say thoughts out load . . It's like the more you fight off the thoughts the louder they want to be . You can feel your self bubbling up inside . Then you get one and boom ,you think you've said it out load.

Religion related thoughts

I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️

I feel like I'm losing my mind I can't trust it

I keep seeing coupled numbers or angel numbers and having dejvu and in my mind when I get constant Deja Vu which in my mind means something bad is about ti happen I have had it 6 times today 3 in the last hour and I honestly feel like I'm going insane whether its Deja Vu of the numbers it causes me to question every action I make. If I see the numbers or get Deja Vu it dictates my day and I can't live this way anymore. Everyone I try and talk to doesn't understand and there is no way I can ever tell anyone about my violent intrusive thoughts the one time I did my mother called the police. Sorry for the run-on sentences and if it doesn't flow right I'm just really struggling right now and have been for a long time and I just want help I'm scared of my own mind. Thank you for whoever answers this post just one person would sadly make my day.
