Irrational fears/intrusive thoughts from magnesium deficiency?

For background info I used to have depression and anxiety that were caused by my prior heart problems. After fixing iron deficiency and back then mild magnesium deficiency - I had ZERO anxiety and depression for almost two years. I then started to supplement vitamin D first 2000IU then switched to 4000IU. I didn't realize that my magnesium was dropping despite supplementing it, meanwhile my calcium and phosphate both shot up to borderline high levels. I started to have bad health problems after 4 weeks that started with nerve burning, later body shaking and then irrational fears (that I never had before). Found out that I also had iron deficiency again, copper deficiency and zinc toxicity. My magnesium is so badly depleted that I can't even go two days without taking it or I get severe symptoms. Went to neurologist and two MRIs were both clear but I had all signs of nerves being hyperexcitable. I managed to fix zinc toxicity, working on fixing both copper and iron deficiency but my magnesium is even worse because I restarted another vitamin D supplements month after that. Only stopped recently. The irrational fears are nothing that I've ever experienced. My old anxiety in the past was completely rational and connected fully to my heart problems. I was wondering if someone had any experience with this. I read about Amygdala and how magnesium is very important for it.

Need advice - Manifested SP, then something happened and now we're low contact

So began manifesting SP year and half ago, there was 3P involved, started seeing movement after 3 months. We were together for a few months. Then I suddenly developed serious health problems that I'm still dealing with and we haven't seen each other because of them.

He recently out of nowhere stopped texting me and answering once every few days.

I have no idea what to do. I wanted to manifest for him to still adore me and be in love with me enough that he would wait till I'm better as long as it takes. The sudden low contact scared me and my self concept is not as great as it was last year because these serious health problems have shaken me a lot. He's someone that I can imagine being married to and being together forever and he was saying the same about me before all of this happened. We know each other for years. What would you do?

Angel for addiction?

Doing everything I can for this in the mundane world, too.

I unfortunately developed gambling addiction after becoming suddenly mostly bed bound due to health problems and needing to get money for expensive treatment. That turned into a coping mechanism and I only realized after 4 months went by that it turned into an addiction. Not new to angelolatry. Been 9 days free from gambling as of rn. Don't have any debts from this fortunately, only the addiction.

I was wondering if there was any angel that could help me to get rid of this. I'll take any suggestions. Thank you.

Day 9 - the thought of winning money terrifies me now

I used to think about winning money every day for 4 months because I desperately needed money for treatment of my health problems. I still need the money but since stopping online gambling after I realized that I'm addicted, I'm now scared of winning any money and even scared of money in general. It sucks so much. When I would get paid, I would always divide my money first for groceries, pets, necessities and then gamble with the rest that was free. Now I'm scared of all of the money in general. Will that ever go away? I also dreamt for the first time about gambling. Even in the dream it was about unfinished gambling that needed to be done to win money but I was scared to get back to it myself, so I was begging someone else to do it just so we could get the money. Weird dream and I hated it. I wish I could delete the whole gambling part of my life permanently.

Belial or Zagan for addiction?

Doing everything I can for this in the mundane world, too.

I unfortunately developed gambling addiction after becoming suddenly mostly bed bound due to health problems and needing to get money for expensive treatment. That turned into a coping mechanism and I only realized after 4 months went by that it turned into an addiction. Not new to the demonolatry in any way. Been one week free from gambling as of rn. Don't have any debts from this fortunately, only the addiction.

I was wondering if there was any demon that could help me to get rid of this. I read about Buer, Zagan, Belial, Beelzebub. I'll take any suggestions. Thank you.

Is FULL recovery possible?

And I don't mean in terms of gambling responsibly. I don't believe 'gambling responsibly' should even exist. I think casinos should be illegal.

I mean in terms of not thinking daily about gambling, it not looming over your head. Not having urges. Being able to handle your own money. Being able to walk past or even stand next to someone in casino and not be tempted to gamble. For it to become your past, not to be something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

I'm on day 6 after 4 months of daily gambling and struggling to see the point of anything. I don't want to be addict for the rest of my life because of the 4 months.

I used to have binge eating disorder(I also had very bad case of anorexia). Took years to get fully over it. And I don't get urges anymore or feel tempted when I'm next to my 'binge food'. It's something in the past but I would never start overeating again to not trigger it in any case. I know that it's very different than gambling addiction but I don't know what else to compare it to.

Would appreciate any responses from people who were able to stop this.

No amount of money is worth it

It's day 6 after stopping. I hate what I have done to myself. I keep waking up thinking about how I have ruined my life. I started playing online casinos in very desperate times after becoming bed bound from health problems and needing money for expensive treatment. I never got the money for treatment and my health never got better. But still if someone could grant me a wish to be physically healthy or to be free of this addiction - I would choose the latter. Gosh even if I could go back in time and win millions on the first spin I would rather decline that and choose instead to never start gambling. The anxiety, guilt, regret, urges and fear that came after stopping are not worth anything.

Is someone here worried about mental health and not money?

It's day 5 after stopping. And I don't think about winning money or regret losing any money. I don't think about chasing losses. I wake up everyday feeling anxious and angry at myself for developing this evil habit. For making myself dependent on it. The anxiety, restlessness, inability to focus, guilt..it's so much more important than the money lost. I regret registering in the online casino in the first place..the house always wins even if you win some money the way it damages your brain is it really a win? You are the one losing your healthy mind. And no money is ever worth that. So I spend the whole day wanting to erase that part of my brain that discovered gambling. I miss my quiet mind. I have serious health problems that got me into this mess and I swear to God I would rather struggle mentally because of them if it meant that I could erase the memory of gambling entirely.

Need advice from people who quit longterm

It's day 4 for me. Yesterday I felt better before I went to sleep and thought that maybe I will get through this but I just woke up and it's awful again. I miss the quiet mind that I had when I was playing online casinos. The anxiety, restlessness, the feeling that this is forever and I will never feel normal again. And I just want it all to stop, that's when I think about playing again. I fell into this after becoming bed bound from health problems to get money for expensive treatment. But my health problems never got better and I ended up using this as coping mechanism for past 4-6 months. I'm so scared that I will feel like this permanently. And I have no distractions and I hate myself so much that I started gambling in the first place. I keep thinking back to when I was healthy and never needed this. I never drank, smoked or anything. I was in casino when I was healthy and never played anything or even thought about playing because I didn't need it in my life.

Day 3 done

Hoping this will get better and easier. I plan on writing emails to all online casinos to delete my accounts and to ban me from reentering. Self excluding from the state would be better but I'm not able to leave my house currently because of my health problems that got me into this gambling mess so this will have to be enough. The first two days were extremely bad. Today has been maybe 20% easier. I hope that I can get past this and never think about playing ever again. I am still ashamed and hate myself for developing this evil addiction in only 4-6 months of playing it. I keep reading how probable is the recovery. I already recovered from binge eating few years ago, and recovered from anorexia 12 years ago, which is supposed to have the highest mortality rate so I'm really hoping that I can beat this one too. Stay strong everyone.

Do you ever stop thinking about gambling entirely?

It's only day 2 for me after 6 months of gambling (had 6 weeks break at the start, should have never gotten back to it).

The constant restlessness and anxiety is horrible. I want it to stop and that's when I think about online gambling again not because I want to play but because I want this awful feeling to stop. My mind keeps telling me that it will NEVER go away and that I will relapse.

Any book recommendations for addiction?

I used to suffer from binge eating when I was young 12-13 years old. Very badly. Took me maybe 8 years to fully recover. In the end I stopped craving junk food entirely and haven't touched it in past 874 days. The thing that helped me tremendously with the recovery at the start was book called Brain over binge. So I was wondering if there's a book that was helpful when stopping gambling addiction?

Day 1 - bad anxiety since deciding to stop anyone?

I have this restless tension feeling inside of me and anxiety since I found out that I have no money to spend on online gambling anymore. It's what scared me into stopping. I started to gamble about 6 months ago. Got scared after first three weeks managed to went 6 weeks without it, then relapsed and since then it's been 4 months of daily gambling. I am only 240 in debt so not a huge loss when it comes to money. But the anxiety that started when I couldn't play anymore and decided to quit scares me badly. I am scared that this feeling won't go away. How long does this anxiety usually last?
