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.”
First time I hear that term.
As in your doing compulsions 7 times or checking 7 times or walking 7 time?
Hey I feel like I just have this evil like whirring feeling of anxiety and like “something bad is gonna happen” and feeling you’re going to do things against God or like you already have I guess?
Just wondering if anyone else’s spiritual OCD seems to also effect your relationship with God and push you farther away from God when you really would rather be closer?
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❤️
