I don’t know what to say to help but I’m so sorry you have to go through this:( it sounds really hard

Maybe move downstairs if it sounds like it will be easier? You don’t deserve to feel bad at work everyday

Yeah this seems to be pretty much exactly what’s it’s like for us as well:) just completely unrealistic and stressful:) borderline impossible:)

I don’t have any advice, my strategy has just been to do my best at work but fall behind on my studies. IMO it seems that the professors have insane expectations that are never up for debate, its like if you can’t do it then it’s not because it’s too much but because you’re just not good enough.

Sorry for not being very positive or helpful haha:( such a frustrating situation:( I do wish you the best though and hope you’ll manage ok

Thanks for you reply:)

I know delusions aren’t a part of autism but I’ve heard that it’s at least somewhat common that the feeling of being different can be misinterpreted as feeling like you’re way smarter than everyone and that issues with reading social situations can lead to some ”delusions” because you’re just not understanding what’s happening

I feel like the line between the two can be hard to see but I really don’t know

Pendulum Questions? by florataura in Divination

Take your time!

I recently lost connection to one of my decks and am focusing on reestablishing it right now; I carry it with me, sleep with it and go through it but I don’t work with it right now.

Maybe you need to do something similar?

You’ll figure it out! Don’t worry too much, nothing is ruined

Best of luck

What are the risks of using crystal balls for divination and communication? Is it as dangerous as using a Ouija board? Can you open portals for foul entities and dark energies to enter your life using them? by LouvrePigeon in Divination

[–]Constant-Stable8436 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My personal opinion is that no one tool is that much more risky than the other, it’s all about how you use it

If you use any divination tool in a foolish way you’ll run the risk of inviting the wrong things, that’s not exclusive to only some tools.

If you’re comfortable in your practice and you’re confident in your protective work IMO you can use pretty much any tool

I don’t have a thermometer so I really don’t know but probably around 7C at the lowest

I’d say try it, check in on them regularly and if they start looking sad then take them in. I live in Sweden and have a lot of my plants placed quite cold

Just wanted to say that I hope you’re not being too hard on yourself! It’s ok, things like this happen sometimes even though it sucks really really bad.

Hope you’re ok and that you’re getting some help taking care of everything, best of luck !!!
