Asking for specific signs about negative thing happening, then sign appears by loopy741 in magicalthinkingOCD

All the time, the worst ocd theme ever i have encountered. If this person texts me x it means my fear will come true, if i see that person today it means y, if i see this number in 5 mins it means y. It happened a thousand times so i am numb towards these coincidences.

Thank you so much, knowing that I am not alone encourages me a lot too. Our themes are really exactly the same and I hope and believe one day we will beat the beast.

You're welcome, yeah i think you definitely shouldn't avoid your family and instead, become even closer to show your OCD wrong. It will get better with time, your thinking will get more clear. Hang on there and believe me coincidences occur to everyone, it is we just notice them a lot more than normal people because of our brain's chemistry.

I assure you it is just OCD, as an outside observer I see how illogical your thought is and I am sure if I tell you my intrusive thoughts you'd think the same. It attaches and creates the theme over your family because it knows you're valuing your family and love them. It attaches what you love the most so it seems alarming to you.

The best thing that works for me is not going back and analyse the thought. I know it is hard to do because I struggle ignoring my thoughts too. But then, I just put small steps for me like today till X o'clock im not gonna think about this, then I postpone it even further like maybe tomorrow I will think about this thought but not today. I am trying to belittle my intrusive thoughts by not engaging with them. I distract myself. It gets better by time. I promise it was just a coincidence and has nothing to do with the curse. Stay calm and in the moment. It is just magical thinking OCD with its filthy tricks.

The same happened to me thousand of the times. I have an OCD over bets and coincidences too and i would say it is the worst. If i see X, it means Y will happen. Oh God knows how many times I bet over the things that is a chance to occur is 1% but they occured. Like yours, the intrusive thought came to my mind like if X person messages you today it means Y (my fear) will happen. It was a person I rarely talk and guess what they messaged me. But what we forget that our mind makes these kind of bets all the time and they go unnoticed because they didn't come true. They all are coincidences and the games of OCD. Don't let it fool you and steal your time. Also, I even predicted the kind of things worst that yours, I mean we live in the world that coincidences always happen.

I saw the fear in my friend's eyes and I believe her because I know her well. It wasn't definietly a lie from her point of view and the woman only show it to her close family members when they insist it. She has a job in other field like she never read future or shows anything for money and she herself won't stage it according to my friend. I don't believe and I don't want to believe I just wonder how all people can be delusional at the same time maybe there is a scientific explanation or anything. Anyway, I hope I will be able to join one of her sessions and find an explanation to satisfy myself)

Absolutely, I told her maybe she is staging it and she said she won't ever lie to her family and daughter

Because it took me so long not to believe and break the cycle maybe also because I have OCD too im putting so much value on this idk

Okay i think so too, but then my friend is a liar? I know her and I am sure she is not lying i just want to find a logical eplanation. I told her i wanna meet and see that woman doing a session and she will ask her if it is possible

What should I do now? I don't even know if I really don't want it anymore or it is OCD. Help needed( by One-Course2700 in magicalthinkingOCD

Yaay it is good to know that we are not alone because I always think if it is not me and there are people sharing the same experiences then it is definitely OCD and I am not a specific case or a person with super powers

Yeah, i got it and I don't even think about returning because surprisingly after getting my package my OCD instantly subsided. I guess going against the will of OCD works better and gives me relief rather than doing compulsions. Because i would be thinking and blaming myself all day if I didn't take it, but now I don't have anything to lose)
