Does anyone of you practice law of attraction despite having OCD?

Does it feel like you're a different person with OCD but a whole different person when you manifest your desired life? And it's overwhelming?

Cause I feel if I manifest, I am doing a compulsion to feel good. I am stuck.

@ibeatocd I wouldn’t say I feel like a different person, I’m just in a different mental space. When I practice manifestation, it’s usually when I am not having an OCD episode. In the past, I would simply treat manifestation is no different from any other form of self inquiry. I find what helps me now, is to not put manifestation on such a high pedestal. Essentially all it is is settling your mind on something that you want. And I like to imagine myself getting that thing that I want, or enjoying it. But as soon as my OCD starts to latch onto it, I stop and I do my exposure. I wants had an OCD spike that really scared me because I started to fear that I would genuinely call in the thoughts that I was thinking. And they were not fun thoughts. But something someone said once about manifestation is that it’s less about what you think and more about what you do to move towards what you want.

@ibeatocd Ah! This is called a “two tale spike”. If I’m remembering correctly, one psychologist who specializes in OCD talks about this. Are you wanting to manifest but it’s now become a compulsion? Or is the manifesting a compulsion against bad thoughts?

After I started practicing it and being obsessed with it

Omg. How are you doing now?

@ibeatocd Still struggling with it, it was amazing practicing it before I got ocd :( so sad I can’t that now

@Magg_77 Can’t do that*
