Angel numbers

Anyone find the concept of ‘angel numbers’ makes their ocd 100 times worse?

For me it’s analyzing coincidences and spiritual things, yes it just sucks. As for numbers, I’ve personally chosen to just ignore any potential meaning with them because there are scientific explanations that say it’s basically just your brain recognizing patterns. Meaning it’s just coincidence, a common one at that. So for me personally, knowing the science I don’t try to get any meaning from them because I feel they’re an unreliable sign to look to for meaning. I barely even notice the numbers that meant things to me anymore now that I don’t believe. Of course feel free to believe whatever you want but I just wanted to offer my opinion.

It’s been really bad for me lately and it’s funny you mention it. Within the past few days I’ve been asking the same. For a couple weeks I really cared about it. There is a reasonable explanation with coincidence. But I also have found that even when paying attention to certain patterns, it yields actual results. Which only began to justify the compulsions. I used to tell myself as a kid to wake up at a certain time, and often without my alarm, I would around 5-10 minutes prior to it going off. Now with these numbers and me spiraling, it’s hard to remind myself that it’s just a pattern of recognition, and my brain is seeking it out rather than it just “happening.”

As in your doing compulsions 7 times or checking 7 times or walking 7 time?

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.

OCD with posts and online activity

Does anyone experience ocd really bad with posts they see online? I just saw a post just now about someone who said they’ve come to terms with dying in their early twenties, and it popped up on my Instagram for you page and i panicked. I’m 20 myself and posts like this genuinely scare me because I always think “It’s a sign or there is a reason it’s popping up on my page.” Has anyone dealt with this before or had an instance like this? Especially with those posts that say if you don’t share or like it something bad will happen, it genuinely freaks me out and I love instagram.
