Shifting and Mental Health
Hello everyone. I usually struggle to write or reach out to people, but I feel like I really need it. I discovered shifting a while ago, and I’m a person who had a lot of trauma and usually seems to cope with escapism. I feel like I used shifting for that, and not being able to shift made me feel hopeless and stuck. I want to believe in it but recently doubts and even nihilistic ideas came up that weren’t necessarily positive. I know there are people in this community that might also feel attracted to shifting because of wanting to escape this reality. This reality can suck, for some people more than for others sometimes, and I’ve decided to take a break but not stop because the possibility of it still makes sense to me, but the uncertainty and unhealthy coping make me want to step away for a while. I just wanted to ask if anyone has experience with this. I feel alone with it, and it’s not a nice place to be. I also wanted to ask for tips if anyone has experience or maybe encouragement?
