• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

The first time I heard the dog and thought something like " what if I hear a door and an alarm?'' the dog kept barking and I heard a door the same time with an alarm.

Days later, I heard a door same time with an alarm. I thought something like "we need a dog sound to be complete" and at that moment a dog started barking.

And today, I heard a dog barking and I thought like "hmm a dog is barking. this reminds me of the 2 coincidences that happened in the past." At that moment I heard a car alarm and I was like "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] don't tell me I will hear a door now" luckily, I was fast enough and thought "if I hear now the third sound which is the door, it would be a GOOD SIGN OR A COINCIDENCE" and it happened I heard a door opening. I was relieved. but a new fear came. what if the first feeling is what it counts since the first feeling is that these coincidences are something bad, no matter what I thought (good) it still means something bad.

Am I going insane? I mean what are the chances of these coincidences happening?

why everytime is a dog, an alarm and a door? and why everytime they happen when my mind thinks about them?

Life is full of strange coincidences. I did some research about tornadoes years ago. One small unincorporated town in KS, by the name of Codell, was hit by a twister on May 20, 1916. Then they were hit again a year later on May 20, 1917. Then, in the strangest coincidence that I have ever read about, they were hit again for a third straight year on May 20, 1918.

God might be trying to give you a taste of power as far as with the mind and thinking of it and/or thoughts "thing"...

I have so many stories like this, they used to happen to me daily for years, with many things, and yes, it can be scary and I definitely understand the fear, were supposed to have a "healthy fear of God" after all...

God may put you in a position where you might say "Oh, I want it, but I don't, and/or/but I'm afraid of it, but I want it" kind of "moth to a flame conflict" kind of thing... Some would call it heaven, and some others may call it hell... Visa-vee, "Love" and being in Love with and extremely to the extreme very highly extremely great and high and powerful and potent and omnipotent being, or "God"...

What do you think being in Love with a being like that (or God, the Highest and Truest God) is supposed to be like anyway...? You don't think there would be at least some fear involved there, especially if he was trying to show you some of your potential with the whole thoughts manifesting thing, or how He could be in-time with you in and with that and manipulate time, and multiple other things also, and cause things to happen for you that, quite frankly, you can't even begin to imagine and/or comprehend yet...

You/me/we should take it/them seriously, but it's a little hard to be and think very stably or be entirely clear and level headed in those moments and about those things with those things going on...

I mean the anxiety, adrenaline, PTSD over and about it sometimes, if it's happening over and over and often enough (like daily, with many things, many times over and over again, for years) Don't know whether you should be or get excited or not, due to the fear, questioning whether that is best or if you should really do or be doing that or not, getting excited over that or because of that, and whether that makes it good or bad or right or wrong or not, confusion at times, and if your not careful, mild to moderate to severe panic or paranoia issues can set in if it's "bad enough" I guess you could say (or good enough some might say)...

Amazing, awe-inspiring, awesome, and, also, sometimes very scary sometimes, just the way the power of God or a taste of the power of God or God trying to call you and/or speak with you, or for you to truly have a personal relationship with Him is maybe supposed to be (like) (especially at first or at the start maybe)...

God Bless!

And he will show you greater things than these, the doors, alarms, dogs barking, ect, are just a "small taste" of what he can do, and probably all you can handle right now, for He can do these things with "all and anything for or with you or around you or in you, or of Him and of you, for you or with or around you, with "anything and everything", (you'd be surprised what He can do, and with anything and everything around you, if He so wills), has been my experience...

God Bless!

the reason I freak out is because I was the one who somehow made this coincidences be a possible sign from God. but for something bad not for something good. It all started when I asked God a question and wanted signs to be sure. if the answer was negative I asked for specific signs. and somehow I ended up fearing daily sound coincidences because they maybe a bad sign from God. the problem is that if someone hears the full story of mine he/she says that I should forget about them cause they are just coincidences and nothing more. but if someone does not know the full story (like you) he/she easily says that it can be from God.

Boy, I tell you what, I certainly know what you mean, but how can mere coincidence (chance) or whatever, be speaking as if directly into your mind and thoughts sometimes, maybe words at other times by sometimes connecting it to the outside world so well, along with maybe and inner self, and a God above...

I still struggle and many do not understand, so...?

But I don't think He's an angry God for the most part, I would just stand in awe of it sometimes, let it provoke some of your thoughts, bask in those times, relax in those times, rest in those times and just enjoy, and be in awe if that is how you are feeling and not be so afraid...

Here, listen to this song, and I hope God is in some kind of way similar to this, in some ways...

I'm hoping it might make you feel better...


God Bless!

I also think "The God likes to show us His "providential" nature through all of it, if we can handle it, His foreknowledge of it all, as proof of His omniscience, I would bet... Or to show you/us other somethings too maybe...?

God Bless!
