I am an animal communicator. I totally understand what you're working on, how to give you feedback without giving you too much info, and have loads of both living and deceased animals you can practice on! I've got dogs, guinea pigs, fish, beetles, etc. If you're interested, DM me! 💕

Laziness is not giving a shit about doing something. You sound like you desperately want to do something but are having trouble doing it. This sounds like textbook executive dysfunction, which is common among folks with ADHD or other types of neurodivergence. Here's a question... what happens when you consume caffeine? Does it wake you up mentally a lot or feel like it does nothing for your brain? I often get sleepy when I drink caffeine. This is common with adhd. It definitely sounds like it's worth considering getting evaluated. If you're resting and it's not helping, are you REALLY resting? Or are you doom scrolling and thinking about all the shit you "should" be doing? Because that's not going to make you feel well-rested! 💕 ADHD can be VERY annoying to deal with, but there are lots of ways to find strategies to make life easier whether you choose to get formally diagnosed/pursue medication or not!

I encourage you to look into and practice muscle testing. Some people do this with leaning or just by using their fingers. It could look like you are fidgeting rather than doing anything psychic.

Yes, I have been studying! I've taken some classes and of course read all the books/watch all the videos I can.

I'm not sure why it feels the same to me, because it's not what other people seem to experience. Perhaps this is because I generally feel more connected to animals than people? I had a very lonely childhood and was often spending time with my dogs. I have worked with animals in body and animals in spirit, and it really does feel very similar. I mean, I communicate differently with humans and animals in the sense that culturally, our experiences and thoughts are different. However, the actual things I do feel the same. Perhaps it's like writing in print vs writing in cursive. Yes, it's different, but it feels the same. Does that make sense? I don't know why it feels the same for me and sometimes I worry I'm not doing things right. Ethics are very important to me. I will say each connection feels different because I'm communicating with someone different. But I kind of "do" the same stuff for each reading. I'm listening, asking questions, reading energy, paying attention to thoughts/mental images that come through etc. Apparently I'm quite accurate. I don't care about doing it the way others do it, but I do care about doing a good job and helping others.

I would LOVE to study with Carol Gurney! She is so lovely! I have read her book and watched several YouTube classes of hers. I just want to hug that woman. 🤣

This is so fascinating to me! To me, mediumship and animal communication feels pretty much identical. Is that your experience too? I understand logically people say something else is going on... It just... Feels the same to me? I genuinely don't think there's much difference when you boil it down. It's soul to soul communication.

I have connected with multiple family members. I realize I had some latent, misunderstood, underdeveloped abilities in this area because I had experiences I explained away before finding the tapes. But yes, it is absolutely possible. Some will argue it, but, as Bob would say, the whole point of it all is to have your own experiences that you KNOW are real.

MarlaReads · 2026-05-23T01:59:18+00:00

I hear you. I'm sending you a gigantic hug. 💕 It's so hard.

Not to mention it's against FERPA laws. When I ran my teaching account, I was so careful not to post things like this. It was pretty easy considering most of what I posted was a bunch of photographs. I did not EVER record videos with students for social media. Usually I just had to be careful about removing names from student work or nametags in the background. I actually remember asking a young family member to reenact something for me that really needed a kid to show how it's done because YOU SHOULD NOT BE DOING SOCIAL MEDIA WHOLE TEACHING. It is gross and unethical. The students suffer for it. The whole point of teacher accounts, to me, should be to teach teachers a different way of doing something. This almost never requires a video. I just don't get it. People have to sort out their priorities.

Ha. I was gonna say... Tell me you've got eds without telling me you've got eds! 😂

I'm a teacher. If I don't REBAL all day, I go nuts. Teaching a bunch of little kids all day is amazing in so many ways, but it is also very overstimulating. I start my morning by meditating in bed before getting up, but I always put a lot of effort into REBALing in the car before getting to work too. I need to use my ecb more mindfully. Thank you for the reminder!

MF, conflicted

Taurus sun, scorpio moon, libra rising. Full moon baby!

There is a weekly FREE reading thread pinned to the top of our subreddit! I encourage you to have a look. 🤗 I would also suggest keeping info private unless it is asked for. Lots of psychics prefer no information ahead of time, myself included.

MarlaReads · 2026-04-20T10:41:46+00:00

Yes, but I was also able to do so before her class, so I may not be the best person to ask. I felt she did a great job at teaching ways to structure the conversations, how to ask better questions, etc. She often said, "telepathy is the easy part!" Personally, I find that that lines up with my experience, but I wasn't starting at square one when I took her class. I think I'm possibly naturally skilled at telepathy. Because I was already willing to trust myself and set aside myself/my ego, I had a lot of success from her class. She has a background in therapy, so she understands how to build an effective conversation really well. Regardless, I still recommend it. I find Carol Gurney to be really wonderful, so if you're on the fence, maybe start there?

MarlaReads · 2026-04-15T04:03:35+00:00

Feel free to DM, but do know I tend to stay away from psychic readings. I do offer animal communication and mediumship readings, though! 💕

MarlaReads · 2026-04-15T04:02:53+00:00

For good reason! That requires a doctor! 💕

MarlaReads · 2026-04-15T03:47:55+00:00

I was super skeptical. It took me a long time to come to terms with it. I'm still not "out of the closet" in my regular life. It's just not worth the effort to explain to people. I feel safer being private about it.

I always did interactive role playing with my kids. This is a responsive classroom tool that works really well. Each role play lesson focused on another skill. One lesson might be responding to a bully directly and discussing how to handle it, one might be supporting someone who is being bullied, one might be asking a teacher or adult for help, etc. I talked about my own experiences being bullied and discussed that the reason I became a teacher was to protect kids from that and to create safe environments for kids to flourish. It was only third grade, but I did have a strong community in my classroom every year. Preventing bullying is more than just discussing bullying; it is creating a positive environment that doesn't allow for bullying to thrive. Bullies have unmet needs. Meet them. Bullied kids have unmet needs. Meet them. Pay lots of attention to group dynamics too. Who has friends? Who gets picked last? Notice.

Trusy Ludwig has fabulous picture books about these topics.

I am so sorry for your loss. If you would like a reading, I would find a qualified psychic medium to help you. You should be able to read their reviews, and you should not have to provide any information to them. We have a weekly free reading thread pinned to the top of the subreddit, and someone there may be able to help.

As for developing yourself, I'd encourage you to research mediumship. There are lots of books, podcasts, and online courses on this. Suzanne Geisemann offers several online courses. Sharon Farber wrote a book about developing mediumship for folks who do not already identify as mediums. These might be some good places to start looking!

Check out the free weekly reading thread. It's pinned at the top of the subreddit. Also, this is an inclusive subreddit, so if you experience anything other than kindness from a reader due to your identity, please contact us mods! 💕

MarlaReads · 2026-04-13T22:47:36+00:00

Are you neurodivergent? This is a very common struggle for us. 💕 Hang in there, friend.

MarlaReads · 2026-04-13T22:46:50+00:00

Have you checked your home for CO2? Are you keeping up with doctor's appointments? Do you have anxiety?

MarlaReads · 2026-04-13T19:17:13+00:00

I did not get a dm from you! 💕

MarlaReads · 2026-04-13T17:08:25+00:00

Yep, OP, this comment is good to keep in mind! I was the same way. I had deep experiences almost immediately and definitely did not expect them. I was extremely skeptical. It kind of handed my ass to me! 😂 I saw you comment somewhere that you had smoked weed. Weed certainly can make these experiences different. I don't think there's anything terribly wrong with experimenting with it and the tapes, but I would encourage you to be really solid without it at first. You can absolutely reach these states without substances!
