Sometimes! It can be a trigger for me, but also a beloved practice! I find that it helps if I focus less on thinking certain thoughts and more about envisioning what I’m trying to call in for my highest good. I also practice my exposures by saying the feared thing I’m afraid of manifesting.

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?

(Long read) hello everyone. i was out of the country for about 3-4 months and traveling. my ocd was not that bad at all and I was able to handle it even if it came up. on my way back home, it immediately started. i have learned how to handle it better, but i am more sad and just “awaiting” for something bad to happen. for example, i have sexual themed ocd. pocd and family related stuff, and also my ocd targeted my pets for about a year and it manifested into compulsions that disturbed me and made me not want to be around my cats. now that i am around my cats, i feel like “what if i harm them or do something bad?” or “what if you do those weird compulsions that happened before?” , when i look back on the compulsions that happened, it doesn’t feel like me and it was clearly driven by ocd, but it makes me worry i am just a sick person. i know myself and i know im not, but i had such a weird childhood and then ocd from 15 years old and up. so when these weird compulsions had happened , whether it was for the pet ocd theme or pocd or the family ocd, it feels like some sort of proof. anyways, i feel a bit for content with myself but i know how real ocd can feel and i just remember feeling so hopeless and suici da l, i just don’t want to go through that again. i take a more spiritual route of life and healing, and i wonder if anyone has some deep spiritual warmups or practices i could do to maybe open up my mind more? maybe to realize this is all in the mind? but also to not fight it… Not fight it meaning not let it take over my life. i racked up so much debt in therapy and i truly think i can get through this alone i just need a bit of help. but i dunno. any advice would help! thanks everyone ☀️

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?
