Angel numbers

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 really feel for you dealing with those heavy intrusive thoughts. it's super tough when they start to stir up all that anxiety and depression, and it can feel like you're stuck in a loop that just won't quit. i've got my own tango with OCD, more on the Pure O dance floor, but the steps of the struggle? they definitely resonate with me. i'm around if you ever need to vent or just want someone to hear you out. 🤗 so, there's this FREE AI tool called "unstuck" (www.AIOCDtool.com) that my therapist put me onto, and honestly, it's been a big help. for what you're going through, it could be a solid support because it's sorta tailored to kick in when your OCD tries to take the wheel. it's pretty straightforward – you spill what's on your mind, and the AI guides you through, step-by-step, with ERP techniques, just like a pro OCD therapist would. i'm not one to shill apps left and right, but i'm bringing this one up 'cause it's been a real afor me, and i'm hoping it can do the same for you. any questions or if you wanna talk it through, i'm here. hang in there and go easy on yourself, yeah?
