yes this whole manifestation nonsense definitely tweaks the ocd  but its just that nonsense  one of my good friends even dedicated a whole blog page to his belief that everything you say causes it to happen  i thought he was intelligent before reading that load of bs  i have big challenges thinking that g-d will hear my bad thoughts and act on them  i also fear that i accidentally pray for bad things to happen  to combat all this i have performed exposures as part of exposure and response prevention thinking saying and praying for real bad and real good things  none of it has ever happened out of proportion to things happening that happen randomly or naturally  its sometimes a challenge because bad and good things happen naturally and you cant ascribe causality to coincidence  an easy way to start is to think about or pray about winning a huge lottery  not a small prize but the whole thing  yes if everyone did this one person will inevitably win  but its not because they were thinking harder about it or praying more for it
