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?

Are really odd coincidences common in FM/ocd?
Like things that feel like ‘evidence’ and clues…. It’s like I can’t let these things go. I’m not talking about ‘signs from the universe’ , I mean actual real life things your ocd is using against you. Not reassurance seeking.

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?
