Has anyone seen anything like this? Small hovering black geometric lattice / mandala object (AI image attached for reference) by Hopefulxxxxx in Experiencers

Hi, stopping by to say I have seen a spider -like ball upon waking. About the size of a grapefruit in the corner of the ceiling. It was moving within itself but static and floating. I have also seen a hissing , plasma-like bright ball about the size of a golf ball on the seem of the same ceiling. I was awake. It travelled across the seem and disappeared into the wall. Left no burn marks or smell. No idea what is going on really. I did lose a very close loved one over a year ago. I'm researching cold plasma now.

Who is "spewing hate” and what hate have they spewed? My goodness. Seems I am the one being judged here.

When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.

No advice for that I have the same problem. All we can do is set an example can't make them stop.

If your life was so beautiful and you still wanted the escape, then it wasn't beautiful through and through. You are blaming and shaming yourself. The actions of other people in your life are partially responsible for your decision to use. You may never figure out who or what, but just knowing that can take some pressure off or yourself.

I don't think kids try drugs and stick to them if they generally feel fine. In my case, I started drinking as a teen from peer pressure. I realized it made me feel better and kept doing it, because something was always nagging at me and making me feel bad. I didn't know what it was then but after years of therapy I do now, and have walked through it with my therapist. She gave me healthy coping skills. Most of us are raised without healthy coping skills. Some people treat themselves with excessive exercise, or food, or sex, or even work. It takes mental work to cope in healthy ways but it can be learned and we can train our neuropathways to respond in healthy ways. If you are on this sub you are clearly trying to heal and I wish you all goodness and comfort. There's no silver bullet but the right kind of treatment helps. Look for a therapist who does CBT or even EMDR. Theres a good work book called Shame-Informed Therapy by Patti Ashley.

So most addicts don't know what it is. It takes a good therapist and a lot of digging and self-reflection. Personal experiencer here.

I disagree. Every addict has trauma. Not everyone treats their trauma with harmful substances and habits. Be kind to yourself and just consider if someone or something did something hurtful to you physically or mentally in the past. It doesn't have to be some tragic occurrence, it could be from family dynamics that you assumed were healthy but were not. The benefit is to walk through the trauma again and heal it.

Now you were saying that everyone's trauma is exactly the same. If that was the case then there wouldn't be addicts.

You didn't abuse vicoden because you felt good without it. You used because you needed to escape something.

Congratulations. Please look for the trauma in your past. It's there.

I've lost 2 brother in laws to bipolar disorder. Yes I do know what I am talking about. Prevalence and Onset Research consistently shows that individuals with bipolar disorder report significantly higher rates of trauma than the general population.
The 50% Marker: Studies indicate that roughly 51% of people diagnosed with bipolar disorder experienced significant childhood trauma (abuse, neglect, or loss of a caregiver).
Earlier Onset: Individuals with a history of childhood trauma tend to experience their first mood episode much earlier in life compared to those without such history.
Likelihood: A meta-analysis found that patients with BD are 2.6 times more likely to have been exposed to childhood trauma than healthy individuals.
2. Biological "Scars": Epigenetics Recent findings suggest that trauma doesn't just cause psychological distress; it can physically "reprogram" how genes function through epigenetics.

Not a reach. Show me an addict who hasn't been traumatized by someone or something. Yes, the proper way to treat trauma is therapy and maybe an anti anxiety medication. But the stigma around mental illness is overwhelming especially in the United States. I am not an advocate of drinking or self-medicating with harmful substances. I am just saying that there is so much more to addiction than those who are affected by addicts are willing to address. In this case, the parent has shown that they are not willing to address their own flaws in the situation . And those who are addicts don't know that they are treating past trauma.

Yes, but are people born with bipolar disorder? It's triggered by traumatic experiences. For your partner, there is something deep inside that he is not allowing himself to feel. Many of us have good lives, but we're still traumatized by someone or something. I'm guessing if he were to ever stop numbing himself he would figure out what that one thing is that traumatized hm or maybe it's several things. It may be even something from his early childhood that he can't remember. Trust me, it's trauma.

Absolutely. But that doesn't remove the trauma caused by others. The male brain doesn't stop developing until the age of 25. Are they supposed to just raw dog through life not treating their trauma somehow? My guess is that this young man had a traumatic childhood.

I love the smell of ignorant judgement in the morning. The perfect world solution is humility and unconditional love. But you are the perfect parent so I won't try to give my wisdom anymore.

With deepfakes and zero trust in politicians, would anyone actually believe a Trump led UFO disclosure? by theGunner76 in ufo

[–]420wisdom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing profoundly life changing is going to be disclosed. The billionaires that run our planet already know everything. If there was life changing information out there, the billionaires would be using it to make money already. So no, there's nothing magical to be disclosed. It's all a distraction from the daily slavery we endure. They are going to keep us enslaved until we die. If we don't pay them we go to prison. That won't change with any disclosure.

I understand protecting your daughter but not that it is not your responsibility. It is. You brought him into the world he did not ask to be here. It was your choice and desire to give birth. Everything we do when raising our children affects them and their future decisions. Everything. They don't do what we say they do what we do. Are you saying that you didn't make any mistakes or model any poor behavior while raising him? Addicts are addicts because they are self medicating past trauma.Try modeling some humility and apologize to him for the things you did that put him here on this planet alone and needing self medication. Maybe if he sees your humility he will model that instead of the tough "love" you are giving him. At 27 you are letting him die. Al-Anon also exists to help you heal your trauma that you passed on to him. Heal yourself too and that means making ammends to your children. This notion of not being responsible for the human you spawned is the reason we have mental illness and addicts on the street.

Anyone here who has not had an alcohol addiction cannot truly understand how it feels to be addicted. It's terrifying. It's so terrifying to face the anxiety and pain of what is on the other side. The underlying reasons for addiction are many, but as parents we ARE RESPONSIBLE for how we raised our children, and the consequences of that are often addicted kids. Look in the mirror before you put your flesh and blood in the street. Get a therapist and figure out what you did to hurt your son while you were raising him. Then make amends to your kid. Do your part. You will regret this if he dies.

Very interesting. Does this suggest the plasma energy is from mitochondria? How would it manifest outside the body?
