• 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 thinking about my ocd fear which is making thoughts without my will about bad deals from God and trying to calm down. Suddenly, when I walked into a room with a tv on, I hear a woman telling a story that a woman asked from God to be turned into a stone and that God did it. it reminded me so much of my ocd fear. about the whole making bad deals without my will with God. I freaked cause i think along with these thoughts i may have thought the word "curse" and the woman said that the woman cursed something before asking from God to be turned on stone. that reminded me my ocd fear so much.

i was writing about it in reddit and i was thinking the sentence like " was that a coincidence or a sign?" and at that second, I hear my grandma saying to my father stuff like " these are signs. they cant be cleaned" i freaked more. my ocd is saying

ocd: a God or the universe may send you signs that your ocd fear is real. there are people who share coincidences stories and believe they are in simulation.
