Magical Thinking OCD
Help! I’m having intrusive thoughts every two to three minutes. I learned about this things called manifesting and now I’m afraid my intrusive thoughts are manifesting horrible spells to make people do horrible things. Make it stop!
I also have had this obsession before too. Especially since I am Christian, I believe that manifesting in the world is something I shouldn’t be doing. I would get scared I was manifesting on accident. It is just a thought, you have to really want to be manifesting for things to happen and also everyone has free will so you can not ever make anyone do anything!
@Pshay I used to be Christian and now I’m agnostic pagan. I understand that manifesting isn’t just simply thinking things into existence. You actually have to put action into it. So like think about a job and apply. Sitting there thinking for about it doesn’t give you a job. Still I’m scared. My thought is “maybe I
I like to think about it like this - if we really had the power to make things happen with our thoughts, none of us would have OCD, because that is the first thing we would all try to get rid of if we truly had the power!
@User11123 I’ve tried to rid my power it didn’t work
@Gabrielle100% My point being, I use that as evidence that we’re not all as magical as we think we are, because there’s no way we all have these magical powers and yet didn’t use them to get rid of our OCD, lol!
@User11123 But I understand it’s a lot harder to accept than that in real life. It just helps sometimes to inject a little humor into a bad situation. I’m sorry that you’re going through this!
My thought is maybe I can influence actions. Not force, people can resist spells, but maybe manipulate. I’m scared
@Gabrielle100% Totally understand. I never have looked into manifesting really deep but knew about it via podcast and stuff. It will get better, all thoughts will go away eventually or at least from my experience they do. I know this comment don’t help with anything, but I am scared a lot of the time too so I understand how you feel. Much love. ❤️🩹
Does anyone have advice for magical thinking OCD? For instance i can’t have an intrusive thought while doing something because then i have to go back and do it while having a good / safe thought to counteract the bad one. Anyone else struggle with this? Some input would be great.
Suicidal. Please help. Was just making progress and then my mind was like, what if you can send people your intrusive thoughts by having one and thinking about them at the same time. So now I have an intrusive thought and my mind is like “you just sent that to X person” saying your a predator or murderer and now they know! What the fuck. Also I can almost “feel” the thoughts leaving my head area and travelling to that person and i am tapping my head to stop it, checking with people to see if their mad, or not my friend anymore and screaming over the thoughts in my head so none of them “get sent”! Is this OCD? I can’t find anybody who has the same experience is this magical thinking mixed with harm I don’t know anymore I’m spiritual too so it feels like that’s playing into this! Just wanna die
