I’m still confused about this honestly. I went to an event with some girls I met online, I felt off because I couldn’t find them and I got nauseous because how packed it was so I decided to leave. This event was 1 hour away, I drove back home and it was raining a bit. I was super depressed and deep in my thoughts and crying thinking about how I got fired, how no one likes me, how i ruin everything. I was 1 exit away from my house when I started thinking very bad thoughts about hurting myself I almost prayed for something to happen to me.
Immediately 0.5 seconds after those thoughts, a car hit into me, my car spun out of control, heading towards the barrier in the middle of the freeway head on, then it spun again, a truck was coming at me at 65 mph and I couldn’t do anything. The weirdest thing was during this I was so calm, no thoughts, just trying to press on the brakes or gas to be able to do something and not feel so helpless. The truck missed me somehow and my car spun straight into a lane. When it stopped, I still couldn’t go to pull into the side. I suddenly felt panic and called 911 I broke down.
I don’t feel like this is some type of confidence. The weird thing is me and my cousin has been having this weird thing happen to us where we experience stuff at the same time or things we do correlate with something literally the next day or hours after. For example, she told me on the phone yesterday about how she donated to this drug addiction program and they invited her to a golf course near where I live. After my appointment yesterday, my mom got lost and she said to me look it’s a golf course. THIS WAS THE EXACT SAME GOLF COURSE MY COUSIN WAS INVITED TO NOT EVEN 24 HRS AFTER TELLING ME.
There were also coincidences when I told my cousin I was scared of going on a plane and asked about wifi and phone use blah blah, hours later my cousin watched family guy and it was a scene where a plane crashed into the house and either brian or stewie asked about free wifi. These coincidences happen everyday, every single day now. It led us to turn to God. I’ve always believed but my cousin was atheist. I may sound crazy, WE may sound crazy but it’s so weird.
I’ve also been getting dozen of posts on my instagram page talking about people who have died in car crashes. My whole explore page is filled with these and it’s scaring me and making me go into distress more 😭 I’m not sure what these signs mean or why this happen. I’ve been praying to him to help me with a job since I got fired and this is what I get instead bc I was suicidal for one moment 🤯 Not that I think it was him, I think it could’ve been that I was vulnerable and maybe something else was answering my prayers..
Anyways, what do you guys think about this?

I noticed these coincidences too in my daily life however its important to remember you have an average of 6200 thoughts per day. More if you have anxiety. And from that you can pull a lot of coincidences, there are probably a hundred you haven’t realised.
Coincidence. But I’m glad you’re safe. Stay strong, things will get better.
I think the brain likes patterns, so it has a tendency to connect unrelated things in a way that makes you think there’s a pattern to it.
Coincidence. We’re always try to find logical meaning to the things we can’t explain.
But what you’re feeling sounds a lot like passive suicidal ideation- wanting it to end but with no plan to do it.. like hoping you get hit by a car or a meteor or something.
It’ll get better.. but don’t ignore what you’re feeling. Sometimes we get second chances. Sounds like you did
(I’m not a mental health expert I’ve just been where you are and it was extremely dark)
Maybe wish to win the lottery and buy a ticket.
I think you can benefit from some extra help, like a therapist you can talk to. To help you really digest this so with a clear lens. Also aside from this you have few other issues going on. And the fact that you almost died, that’s heavy.
Just ask your self, if you’re able will to negative events in your life from thought to existence. Why does it only happen to negative events? I’m sure you think about your hopes and big separation for tomorrow. Why didn’t those come into physical manifestation.
Think about it please.
When I was in grade 12 I quit my job to focus on my exams and then enjoy my summer. I thought to myself about how it would be a shame if I broke my leg or something. Not even a week after my last day I severely dislocated my ankle and broke my tibia, had to have two surgery’s, and was non weight bearing for 4 months.
It’s weird being a human, I wish I could do the same with lottery numbers
I think you might still be feeling shock and your brain has gone into overdrive detective mode trying to understand why the crash happened instead of dealing with the fact it happened. Take care of yourself
If this is a real story, just count yourself fortunate, and use it as motivation and strength when your mind gets dark. Life is fragile and precious. I know it’s often easier said than done, but try to remember in those moments that your life is worth living. Hard times will pass. There’s an ebb and flow to everything, and the best moments could never stand out without the rough moments to contrast.
Good examples of the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon.
Take this as sign from the universe.
The thing about your explore page having more plane crash posts is most likely due to your algorithm. You’ve probably been not only typing but talking about car crashes, planes, and plane crashes a lot more lately, and so your phone is feeding you with information it thinks you want.
Hopefully, that makes you feel a little less anxious… at least about the phone part. Also, I’m sorry to hear about your crash, and I’m glad you’re still alive, even though you may not feel the same💜
Personally I think that humans have more psychic abilities than we believe but we are told from a young age to suppress these as they are constantly shut down as “coincidence” or “imagination”
There should always be explanations to these things but sometimes they just can’t be explained.
In this case, it could be that because you were so deep in those thoughts, it subconsciously affected your ability to drive safely which led to the crash? But that is the only logical conclusion we’re conditioned to come to
I don’t believe in coincidences. Be safe and try to turn your life around in pursuit of positivity and happiness. No one’s life is perfect. Be mindful of your thoughts and what actions you can do change certain things

I was looking for the comment about The Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, also called the frequency illusion. This happens to a lot of us!! Especially with those who you spend a great deal of time with. It’s likely something you both notice. I’m not a religious person, but I am spiritual and believe that you were given another chance at life to see it through new lenses. Use this as a way to help others who are in despair and feel like there’s no point to living anymore.
As someone who suffers from chronic depression and suicidal ideations, there really are better days ahead. There are plenty of hard days waiting for you too, but as you learn to recognize your emotions and when they show up — you can give them space to be there and not hate yourself for it. Nothing in your life is permanent — jobs, pets, lovers, friends, family, etc. If you can see life with the perspective that everything is always changing then you won’t beat yourself up as much. (Hopefully!)
Hang in there! You’ve got this!! Sending all my best!
Hey man, nobody knows for sure what the fuck is going on. I have periods in my life where things seem to follow patterns/add up/make more “divine sense”. I have learned with age to just kinda go with it. To me, I see this as a sign of what I call, “being on my path”. I think is a good indicator that you’re paying attention to your life, and probably following you intuition.
It’s great to ask others what they think, but what’s most important is what you think, and what YOU feel, because in the end, no one knows definitively what is actually going on.
Me personally, I think your car crash experience wasn’t coincidence, and was meant to wake you up, and have you running toward your life; it kind of seems like that’s what it’s done for you?
Maybe lean into the synchronicity’s you’re seeing, and try not to need an answer. Just follow your intuition, and stay on your path, and try to keep growing in happiness everyday. That would be my advise and hope for you <3
These are called “coincidences.” They happen to everyone, but there is no rhyme or reason.
I agree with everyone saying coincidence and the brain looks for patterns when it comes to your cousin but with the crash, could it have been foreshadowing?
I’ve heard stories of people becoming aware or, having a feeling something terrible is about to happen to them or a loved one and then the terrible thing happens.
Maybe you interpreted those dark thoughts as you hurting yourself but it was actually foreshadowing of impending doom?
It’s amazing when you find out people that attempted self ending and didn’t succeed are very vocal about being thankful it didn’t occur. The documentary about the GG bridge is full of this. “A permanent solution to a temporary problem”
John Lennon very often wrote and talked privately about being assassinated by a deranged fan and it was essentially a martyr obsession of his in the years before he was murdered by a deranged fan. Albert Camus, french author most known for writing The Stranger believed he would die at a young in a tragedy from a very young age, and then he did die young in a car accident.
I’m not saying it’s a metaphysical type deal, it could be just an influence from the unconscious mind picking up on things that we aren’t consciously and then the unconscious in turn being influenced by our thoughts and actions. But either way “be careful what you wish for” is a truism for a reason. And i’ve heard many many more stories like the two i’ve just relayed and what you’ve experienced.
