OCD and tawakkul

Wondering if anyone can relate/has advice

I have OCD symptoms and for the past few months, I’ve been trying my best to turn to Allah (swt) whenever I’m struggling with something rather than doing compulsions. A main reason for this is that I had an episode during the fall and did make dua but also gave into my compulsion. I ended up finding out that the thing I was so worried about was actually nothing serious at all and I shouldn’t have done the compulsion. That was a lesson to me to trust Allah (swt) and his guidance rather than just listening to my head

Unfortunately though, I’m now stuck in another episode and struggling with tawakkul. I got upset about it today and made dua for guidance/sign and literally got a Quran ayah about guidance on social media right after. But of course I had thoughts come up like “oh that doesn’t apply to me, maybe that’s not actually a sign” 💀 lol how do I fight this? I’ve been trying so hard but the constant feeling that I’m doing something wrong/making excuses/misinterpreting signs is always there
