Evil Eye - Any help?

I understand people may not believe in the evil eye, but after what happened at the weekend, I'm not quite sure. P.s. I tried to find a spiritual thread but couldn't find one?

I had a falling out with a friend years ago. She was from Türkiye and had moved to the UK after marrying an English man. We became friends when working in the same department. We'd go for coffees and dinners. Very much a lovely friend. I'm not sure if this has relevance, but once bought me back a evil eye bracelet from a trip home and it broke as soon as I put it on..

She had a temper and would blow hot and cold if something wasnt what she wanted. Would say nasty things about other people behind their back - which that's when it started to dawn on me she probably wasn't as nice as I'd thought.

Anyway, i tried to limit my time with her, and we had a falling out. She would text me nasty messages over WhatsApp, called me The Devil, and other horrible names. After that, I had no contact with her.

Over the years, it's been peaceful, but I have suffered from depression and also going through infertility with my partner (almost 3 years of trying). (This is being investigated by Dr's and hospitals)

Anyway, fast forward to the last weekend gone, and while pulling into my flat, she was outside it! She definitely doesn't live near me (unless she's moved), but I can't shake this feeling that I wonder if she has perhaps put an evil eye on me and has been for years? if that can really be a thing? is this why we are struggling. I think if she'd called me any other name, I wouldn't care, but to be called The Devil is awful.

I spoke to my friend today who knew her and is a bit spiritual l like myself, and she said maybe I should see someone as she does believe it would be something this lady would do 🫠

I'm sorry if this is a whole lot of nonsense and shouldn't be here. Just don't know who to ask or where to even begin..

This is the only part of your thread that is true. Come on surely you cannot believe somebody has basically put an evil spell on you and that is responsible for your hardships?

Those things are meant to ward off evil, they aren't a curse. It sounds like it was a well meant gift at the time.

It just broke because they're cheaply mass produced for tourists.

Did you ask her why she was outside your house?

You believe in magic spells?

My daughter has this pendant -

Since wearing it, her life has been exactly the same!

The evil eye is worn as an amulet or protector and can make the wearer feel less anxious because they believe the evil eye will ward off any thing bad but it is nothing more than a superstition.

@RobinHeartella no I haven't, I haven't spoke to her in about 4 years and I'd rather not considering how awful the last time we spoke was. by the time I'd walked back up from my car park I could see her walking away but she'd put her hood up 😬🫠. I keep thinking hopefully she'd just got off the bus somewhere near by and was maybe off to the pub which is almost opposite me x

@Ohshutupcolinyoutwat completely get that, and im sure for me its just horrible bad luck, but there are people all over the world who believe in this as it's part of their culture (especially was for her) so I just can't help thinking it could be possible. I do know how mad it sounds though x

@Meecrowahvey In some cultures, beliefs like the evil eye are taken very seriously. I'm a really open minded person so I guess maybe? I don't quite know. I knew it would sound mad if it's said to people who don't believe at all x

@Chuchoter oh that's gorgeous! thank you for your reply. I do think I'm letting my own worries with whats happening in my own personal life over think it all x
