A portal opened and a bunch of negative entities came through
Somebody opened a portal that attracted a bunch of negative entities talking in my head, materializing objects, etc. I don’t know anything about this stuff and I’m wondering how I can send the entities back/get rid of them?
People have said to just work on yourself which I have tried to do shame work but mostly I’m concerned about the actual portal and whatever earthbound/parasitic entities have come through to attach to me.
Fear of people getting too close?
I don’t make friends bc I have this overwhelming fear of letting them accidentally get close to me and then demanding certain emotional expectations. There’s this scenario in the back of my mind where I’m friends with someone but then they overstep and start perceiving parts of me that I’d rather not be perceived only to start micro managing my life under the expectation of “gratitude” and demanding to know my emotional experience. It’s what I grew up with.
It doesn’t help that I seem to attract only narcissists and sociopaths. I like intense people more than people like me, so on the rare occasion I do find someone genuinely interesting they end up being that way. Anyone else have this problem?
Is anyone else a compulsive liar
I hate being perceived so I make shit up about myself. It also lets me create emotional distance between myself and others because when I attach I get enmeshed.
I used to lie for attention as a kid—like I pretended to get bullied. And now as an adult I hate being perceived in ways I don’t want so I like to either control it or avoid people entirely. I hate it when people try to force vulnerability it’s very annoying. I also don’t like it when people express it themselves because it means I’m socially obligated to comfort them and their emotions might mix with mine.
I feel drowned by the culture surrounding me
I’m nonbinary and living in a very much “progressive” city and I feel engulfed by the current social climate. People around here have that “ahead of the curve” thinking in regards to relationships and social politics, and while that doesn’t sound bad on paper a lot of them are also self riteous and rabid for the opportunity to jump down someone’s throat for being “problematic.” These people can be fun at parties but as a schizoid I don’t want to deal with people who need constant validation that they’re good people.
I fear that people will call my extreme need for privacy “emotional unavailability” and demand I “heal” myself, or worse, wait until I do or don’t do something so they can cancel me by telling me how much I need to “reflect and grow.” Abuse of therapy speak is a big problem around here. Introducing it to the common culture has caused narcissistic people to create a one-sided way of communication where one party is always the voice of reason and the other has no social autonomy because they are “unhealed.”
I also can’t relate to the other nonbinary people who are getting into polycules, forming tight-knit mutual aid networks, and relying pretty heavily on their social connections to get by. I think my life would be easier for me if I was like them, but I also don’t like emotional engulfment. And the pressure for emotional vulnerability in these sorts of circles is a bit insufferable.
Are any other queer schizoids in the same boat? I like drugs and parties as much as the next, I just don’t like connections with others. Kinda makes it hard to find good parties tho.
Anyone have experience with entities that can physically materialize objects?
A negative entity has attached itself to me and materialized food, teacups, paper, etc. it had a somewhat “corrupted” but large energy. I’m not sure what to do about it or how to get rid of it though.
I ate over 40 dumplings between today and yesterday
I have agoraphobia plus depersonalization problems which cause me to avoid doing things that require going outside. So I went to the corner market and bought a giant bag of dumplings and ate those instead of actual meals. Plus I’m very demotivated to actually do stuff because of depression.
I don’t have friends I just escape into my head through visualization or reading or podcasts. I don’t feel lonely but I’m vaguely aware my dysfunction is a symptom of loneliness so maybe I’ll try to make friends idk
Trying to visualize but the pictures keep moving around?
I did a visualization exercise where i tried to picture an apple in my mind. My apple was pretty vivid, the problem was it would keep moving around, change color, change size, grow skinnier and larger. I think this may be part of my adhd? Possibly anxiety issues as well. Anyone else?
Is it possible for shamanic healing to work across technology
Like if I talked to someone via zoom, would a ritual work for me even if I’m not there with them
Is anyone else annoyed by the narratives hypocrisy when it comes to Danny vs Dash?
It continually pushes the idea that Danny using his powers to retaliate against the person bullying him is bad, meanwhile said bully never faces any actual consequences for their behavior. Time and time again the moral lesson of the story seems to be “Danny must be a complete doormat and if he stands up for himself at all then he’s a selfish arrogant asshole who is using his powers to exploit others.” What kind of message is that sending to the kids watching this?
Part of the problem is that the show is pandering to the parents rather than the kids, and most parents care way more about creating an obedient child than a well rounded one. But it’s completely irresponsible on the networks part: how many kids watch this stuff, many of whom are getting bullied? You don’t think there’s a problem with teaching kids at an age when they will internalize things easily that fighting back against someone bullying you will make you just as bad as them?
This show was an integral part of my childhood but upon rewatch there’s things that just piss me off.
Is Douchebag an inappropriate name for my cat
Douchebag chases people’s ankles because he’s a douche so I named him after his personality
EDIT: he does have a real name I use for vet appointments and around others. I call him douchebag jokingly because it’s kinda funny.
Anyone else here have no hobbies, no real life experiences, no personality
I feel like I don’t have an actual personality. I never talk to people, I don’t do anything besides doomscroll because I can’t get any joy from other activities, I don’t have a real personality either
Self isolating in order to avoid emotional collapse of BPD and predatory people
It feels like every time I try to improve my social life, I’m preyed upon by manipulative people due to my childish demeanor and evident lack of social experience. The few friends I’ve had treated me like an empathy dispenser then never returned the favor, and my last FP was a manipulator. It seems like the only time someone wants to talk to me is to manipulate me, and it makes me want to not talk to anyone at all. Ive hate having FPs, id rather die in isolation than have an FP ever again. I just don’t know what to do about this shit untreated disorder.
Mental illnesses are making it hard for me to be self aware
I have both BPD and SZPD, and I am not functional. I have tried therapy, reading, habit building, research, exercise—nothing sticks. I always end up back where I started. So now I have no hobbies, no friends, no life skills, because I have been using internal projections of idealistic fantasies to self regulate, which removes me from the real world and my real emotions. There were multiple points in my life where I would have a full on break down in the middle of a job, but never processed why because I steamrolled whatever emotion I was feeling with the familiar fantasy-world where I was famous or adored or extraordinarily talented. Now this internal fantasy world has collapsed, so I’m stuck with not only the initial unprocessed trauma my child self had constructed the fantasy world specifically to repress, but also the dissolution of false ideas of grandeur.
That same internal projection which once protected me has now begun to turn inwards in self-defeating self attacks, to the point where it is extremely challenging to even conceive of a solution to my life’s problems without my introjects morphing into the voice of my abusive mother.
Now, I am stuck in what feels like an impossible situation, because I am dealing with all of these things without a support network: I was recently manipulated by someone who turned by BPD FP dynamic against me, tainting the fantasy world to revolve around them and effectively ruining my internal coping strategy. I was also infantilized heavily by this person and their friends which made me paranoid, reckless, and thrill-seeking—I simultaneously sought these people out for the adrenaline rush of exciting experiences they provided, while also growing more paranoid and on-edge as they tried various tactics to get me to sleep with them. I was overly focused on trauma, and those people instead of work, lost thousands of dollars on rent, and moved back in with my abusive parents. The combination of these events caused me to go into psychosis, to which my parents responded by throwing me in a psych ward and then complaining that my symptoms were inconvenient for them.
So basically I’m trying to cope with the collapse of the coping mechanism I’ve had since childhood, without therapy (insurance issues), without a support system, and without a brain that can hold and process information in a meaningful way because of depression, maladaptive daydreaming, unmedicated adhd, and suicidal ideation.
I’m curious as to what other people here have done when they hit rock bottom and had no support.
I’ve succumbed to my mental illness
26NB schizoid borderline dealing with extreme dissociation and I’m not sure how to manage anything at all whether that be taxes bills friendships money etc. I can’t do any of it and I don’t even want to learn because I don’t see the point. It makes me miserable living here, and doing stuff like that only adds to the misery. I’m not the person I want to be but I can’t get proper help for whatever I’m dealing with because therapists aren’t shit. I spend most of my time in my head arguing with internal voices that overtake my reality. I try meditating to calm it down but I can never get them to fully quiet. I went into psychosis recently and my parents just started berating me over it gave me 0 empathy and got mad I didn’t put them first. I’m losing my mind over my situation but my dissociative mental illness makes me feel like I can’t do anything to change. Or even if I did change circumstances I’d still be the same person. Idk what I’m trying to say really—I’ve tried to change, to implement a better routine, and I fail every. Single. Time. Because of the dissociation. I don’t know what to do: I’m unmedicated I don’t have friends and I can barely keep my job
Everything about life makes me want to end it
Read the news, the orange Cheeto man is still committing crimes and for whatever reason maga idiots still support him
Go outside, the planet is on fire, and what are people doing? Using AI datacenters to further destroy the environment so they can make .0002 cents off an AI fruit video
Go to therapy, therapist is narcissistic, victim blames me for everything, tells me I’m lazy because she’s frustrated that my CPTSD isnt an easily solvable problem but is too proud to give me a referral. Go to another therapist, get ghosted
Get an apartment, all studios are over $1000 and I’m too schizoid to find a roommate
Go to my narcissistic parents house, they’re still being passive aggressive about not getting enough attention and then worsening my psychosis while living there because they’re mad the shit they did in my childhood has consequences and they’re too emotionally immature to have a genuine discussion without deflecting it back to me and worsening my already crippling mental health
Talk to people outside: they’re manipulative weirdos who masturbate in my room after I invite them over for soup
Try to focus on my mental health by myself: I can’t because my brain is always attacking itself after years of self isolation, quick dopamine releases, and lack of genuine support for my trauma. I struggle to even read the books I’m trying to, let alone retain any information and generate a viable solution. I’m dealing with depression, autism, adhd, probably BPD, schizoid/avoidant tendencies, depersonalization, all after I went into a psychosis and my parents just kept whining and moaning and exerting control over me
I don’t know anymore guys. Even if I did get better I’d still have to live in this shithole of a country. Life is a fucking joke, and nobody will say the punchline.
Need a drarry fanfic with epic draco characterization
Something that tackles his narcissism, his cowardice, the racism he indoctrinated from his family, the fact that he was a bully—all of it. I want an emotional rollercoaster where he’s forced to face all of his problems and isn’t easily forgiven. Preferably under 100k
What does your routine look like when pet sitting?
I’m trying to keep a more organized schedule. But usually I get up 8-10am, feed the dogs, check any medications, then tend to my drop ins/walks if I have any. I like to take the dogs on walks or let them out in the back to play if they have a fenced in yard. I wind down by reading, feed them again and give them medication, then wind down for bed.
If for whatever reason I can’t walk them or let them out I like to throw toys down the stairs (it tires them out faster). Occasionally I’ll have issues with an overactive dog, probably because I’m just one person and they’re used to more family action (I live in the suburbs).
Curious as to what other people’s schedules look like.
8th year fic with same canon dynamics?
I prefer it when they absolutely hate each others guts but are still obsessed with each other like they are in canon. Any suggestions?
