No offense, but I have to back up Graka here. I know we haven’t talked much, I’m a fairly background presence on Furbooru, but you’ve been saying some things that from my outsider perspective is concerning.

It’s understandable to search for meaning in things we experience, it’s in many ways the essence of what people consider religion. And I totally understand why it’s comforting to see connections everywhere. Since you’ve been an open book about what you feel you’re experiencing I’m going to give you an honest observation: you’re looking for connections in EVERYTHING and that’s concerning. I’m honestly glad it’s been a positive experience for you thus far, but feeling that each and everything can be a definite sign can easily dovetail into the negative. I can’t help but think back to when you were stressed out before and believed this site and some of us users were cult related. You misread things and it took you to a bad place. All it could take is a rough day and some certain pop-ups or YouTube recommendations to put you in a bad place again. That’s a dangerous tightrope to walk, especially since it’s likely not the universe talking but a cold website algorithm.
Ultimately, I have to echo Graka and say try therapy. I hear ya that it didn’t work for you the first time, it rarely does. Usually you go through multiple therapists before you find the right one. I know I did, and even after getting the help I needed years ago I still returned just last year; it’s an ongoing process. I’m 40 and I still deal with life’s ups and downs and need some help sometimes. You seem like a good earnest person StrangeKitten, you should take care of yourself.
