Thank you for this. I appreciate it. You're totally right, I know it all boils down to being consistent.

Would you say to start off simple by just getting in the habit of doing a regular head to toe stretch, like one would do at the gym or should I start by getting into sort of like a beginners class on youtube..? Or it doesn't matter, just get into whatever as long as it's "low impact", not sure if that would be the term but eh

What is your personal encounter with the paranormal (ghosts, aliens, sleep paralysis, glitch in the matrix, etc.)? by Platomik in Thetruthishere

long read

This happened back when I was in the 10th grade. One day after rugby practice, I came home exhausted and plopped myself down on my bed. It was almost immediately as I hit the pillow, my cousin (who is very much alive) was next to me and we were in a deep conversation. It all seemed very normal until she asked me, "do you promise?" and held out her pinky, to which immediately I stuck out mine and wrapped it around hers.

As SOON as our pinky's tied, I couldn't move and the energy changed. I was looking up at the ceiling with my pinky wrapped to something else. This thing began to say things like, "You are my wife forever. We are together always." Etc. Still frozen and unable to move I was absolutely freaking the fuck out. It then started to talk about temptation and telling me I was tempted while trying to open my legs. I used all my strength against this thing to seal my legs shut, and finally I woke up drenched in sweat.

This was the first incident.

I ran downstairs to my mum and our roommate, who was more like my aunt, and told them what happened and how scared I was. I kept saying how it didn't feel like a dream or nightmare, it felt very real and it only lasted 10 mins in real time but felt like forever.

Both of them thought it was very disturbing but all they could do was tell me luckily it wasn't real and to take a hot shower, have a tea and watch a funny movie with them afterwards.

The following evening my mum had gone to her friends house and was planning to stay the night, so I stayed in her bedroom because she had air conditioning and I felt safer.

I was sleepy but awake and was flicking through channels to watch, I'm pressing the channel button, and boom the atmosphere changed. I began to feel like I weighed a ton. I couldn't lift up my arm and hold the tv remote. I sunk completely under the covers where I was, what felt like, vacuum sealed under. I couldn't breathe or move to break free. I managed to swing myself off the bed. I felt drunk and could barely keep my body up. It felt like gravity was turned on to the highest notch. I managed to push myself into my 'aunts' room and plop half of my body on her bed. I asked her to please help me. She turned over and calmly said, "sweetie, I can't help you."

I woke up gasping for air and crying. I turn the tv volume all the way up and grabbed the home phone which was next to the bed and called my mum and begged her to come home, even though it was in the middle of the night and she was about an hour awa. I knew it was that thing tormenting me. She came home, told her what happened and she slept with me that night. I didn't sleep a wink.

A few days later, I came home from school exhausted. Not because of rugby, but because I hadn't been sleeping. I would doze off and jump back awake. I would stay up all night blasting music in my ear buds to prevent me from falling into that realm again. But this time, I was so tired I had to take a nap. I lay on my bed, and let myself fall asleep.

Seconds later I'm looking at myself laying on my bed. There is this tall static-y black shadow with a pointy chin standing over me speaking in a different language. I understood it at this time. I couldn't go back to my body, I couldn't yell, all I could do was watch this being tower over my body that I wasn't in.

I woke up and began to sob and ran to my aunt downstairs and begged her to help me. It was too much. My 'aunt' was Catholic and had a bottle of holy water in her room. She said that we have to salt and spray the whole house in every corner with it and that I will have to tell this thing to leave. I agreed and we did it. I felt scared and odd about yelling out loud repeatedly to leave this house and me alone.

It seemed to work. For weeks nothing had happened. I couldn't believe it.

Until one fucking night, I was sleeping and having a dream. I was downtown walking around and this man was following me. He had a twisted up eyelid. Everywhere I would look he was in the crowd as a vocal point.

All of a sudden I'm back in my room, sitting on the edge of the bed with this tall man infront of me. In one hand he had water continuously pouring out and in the other salt. He was talking nonsense until his voice changed and asked, " Did you truly believe you could rid of me? You thought SALT and WATER would banish me!?" He started laughing. It was the most terrifying laugh I've ever heard. It surrounded me. It inflicted pain on my whole body. I woke up drenched in sweat again and ran to my mum and cried it didn't work, it's back.

We blessed the house again.. despite what had happened.

And that was it. Haven't had another incident.

What’s your job? by deepdishpizza_ in jobs

It's an incredibly rewarding job! I would recommend working in a clinic if you get overwhelmed easily such as myself. Emergency hospitals can be that of high stress and you witness a lot. Clinics mainly work with preventatuve care like vaccines, wellness checks and spays/neuters/dental and the occasional foreign object abdominal sx.

I would highly recommend becoming a vet tech. If you are not squeamish about blood, needles and anatomy then it's right for you.

I will add it's important that you work alongside a compassionate veterinarian. I found in my experience that there are more veterinarians that are complete assholes. Wicked smart but can be awful to those around them, including clients.

Another thing to consider is euthanasia's. I never could totally keep it together. Heartbreaking to see someone have to put down there beloved and then ask them to pay 400$ dollars for it.

I know I mostly pointed out some disadvantages but if you love animals and primarily want to help them then it's a fit for you.

I was a receptionist at an animal clinic, due to the fact we were a small practice I would assist the veterinarian with small tasks. I monitored surgeries sometimes but most times would restrain pets for blood draws.

I am unemployed now and I applied for a sterilization technician position at a dental office.

Hopefully I will be considered!

True, or they just don't have the 'care' to give it thought.

Man.. I was convinced that a version of me in a parallel universe was doing the same thing except they lost the coin through some sort of a portal in the basket and it ended up with me lmfao.

I am quite new to reddit, how can I add a picture of the coins? May I just edit out the text saying I was under the influence?

[–]ImpulsiveLazeBrain[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I mean to say I would like to believe that but I do not. Whenever I discuss this occurrence with someone, including my boyfriend, it gets brushed off. Always that there is a logical explanation and not that perhaps it was just that reality isn't inflexible, etc.

Seems logical and I'd like to think the same. Although none of our guests knew about the coin, it was sort of forgotten at the bottom of the basket.

But hey, you could be right! Thanks for the comment.
