• 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.

I was feeling tired with bad mood due to ocd. We had a meeting with friends about a project and as I was relaxing, I fantasized that I am sending a message to a friend in facebook, asking if we should cancel it for today. something like that. some seconds, later, I heard the sound of facebook message. I automatically got a thought like " what if that friend is asking if we should cancel it? i will be worried" I am worryying because automatically when thinking about coincidences, my mind is like " what if it is a bad sign from a God about your ocd" It was a message from that friend that i was imagining. she was telling me that she was not feeling well and she is tired but she never typed about canceling it. I freaked and I phone her. i asked her like if she was planning to tell me to cancel it. she said yes. and i freaked. i mean, i was tired. i imagined about sending to that friend and ask her if we should cancel it and some seconds later, she sends a message planning to ask to cancel it. when I heard the sound before reading the message, my mind was like "what if the message is from that friend I was thhinking and she is asking me to cancel it? what if it is not a coincidence" and it was accompanied with some bad thoughts. was that just a coincidence?

I

Yes it was a coincidence.

You rang a tired friend and ask a question. The friend rather than spend hours talking to you agreed with your request to cancel the project.

It was nothing more than someone too tired to talk agreeing with you.
