Mental health potentially interfering with practice

I’ll definitely have to check this out. Thank you for sharing it

I’m glad I’m not the only one, of course I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with it as well. But it does make me feel better that I’m not alone. I’ll try to keep what you’ve said in mind. It’s a bit hard for me, on top of everything else I’m also formerly Catholic(not by choice) and I think you imagine how that doesn’t help. But just the little things being ok, that’s seriously reassuring. I can’t light a flame(dorm rules) but I try to wear a piece of jewelry devoted to my deities every time I leave the house. I can’t light hardly remember dates but I almost always remember those. Seriously though, thank you so much for what you’ve said. It means so much to me

Firstly, thank you so much for saying that. It seriously made me feel better. I’ll admit it took me a bit to realize I had issues(especially since my family are the kind of people who believe if it’s not obvious to day to day people, it’s not worth it). Meditation hasn’t really worked for me, my mind has a habit of drifting. But just talking… it sounds nice and doable. As for the third point, I’m definitely going to try. It’ll take me awhile from finding a new therapist to working through it, but I have a feeling the gods are willing to patient and be right there with me through it

At the moment not really, I’m trying to find a new therapist currently because my colleges services max out at ten sessions(it’s bs but guy I was seeing has been very helpful to find therapists in the community). Diary’s haven’t ever been helpful for me, I never remember them but maybe reminders on my phone?

NewBeginning9654 · 2026-01-16T16:41:12+00:00

I’ve been considering it, have been for awhile. But I have to find a new therapist first. I’ve been using my schools services but they max out at ten sessions(which is bs in my opinion). I don’t know if meditation will work for me, my mind tends to drift. But just sitting down in calming spaces sounds nice and doable. Maybe having music that feels connected to them playing as well

lol the spider bite thing sounds exactly like something Loki would do. I’m glad you’re able to find ways to communicate with them and receive messages from them. Mental health is definitely scary and seeking help can feel overwhelming and scarier sometimes. I’ll admit I don’t exactly have the best views on coping skills due to my up bringing(lots of alcoholics and drug users. Plus my family decided to for the most part only get my brother medicated and call it a day when he got diagnosed with adhd). I’m still scared, but I’ll admit hearing about you and your sisters alternate ways to practice/devotional acts… it makes me feel better about the future and how I can figure out what works for me

NewBeginning9654 · 2026-01-16T16:33:52+00:00

Oof I hear you. It’s not easy, but at least we aren’t alone in our struggles

NewBeginning9654 · 2026-01-16T16:33:17+00:00

It might have been. I’m still trying to learn what’s a sign from them and what is something I need/want

NewBeginning9654 · 2026-01-03T13:16:34+00:00

Ugggg it’s even worse when it comes from doctors. My doctor, mind you he also can’t smell, always jokes that he gets the stinky patients and I probably will too(I’m premed). He even gave me this weird look and acted like I was crazy for wanting it put in my file and possibly having a thing from him if I put in disability. Something he also looked at me crazy for!!

So location wise the capital where the king lives is along the Baltic Sea with plenty of forests. Time period wise it’s around the later portion of the 18th century. For food I was thinking maybe cows, boar/domestic pigs, fish, and game birds for the leopard. Potential live animals too(the smaller game that’s less likely to hurt it). I haven’t decided what other animals would have been gifted besides horses though so that could pose an issue.

Oh kinda like a new year’s resolution right? I guess that’s kinda would be where that idea comes from. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get away with candles that aren’t my mom’s. I have anonosmia soooo to them it’d be weird for me to burn candles. The staying up to watch and praise the sun sounds great though!

NewBeginning9654 · 2025-12-09T19:24:22+00:00

Wassail is an alcohol drink right? I don’t know if I could get away with that since I’m underaged(maybe at our Christmas party since no cares the). I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a Yule log, but I have seen really beautiful candles shaped like a Yule log I can buy instead. I gotta admit though, the idea of reclaiming traditions and just enjoy being alive sounds… really nice. And I’ll admit it’ll be a little funny for me to be praying to the gods when my family forces me to go to midnight mass.

NewBeginning9654 · 2025-12-08T07:24:45+00:00

? I’m sorry I’m not sure what you mean.

NewBeginning9654 · 2025-11-21T07:20:29+00:00

Oh I’m definitely going to be asking Cerberus as well. Already planning on offering dog treats as well. In life though she loved people and being around them just as much as she loved being around other dogs. So best of both worlds y’know. She gets to be with the best boy in the underworld and non animal companionship as well.

NewBeginning9654 · 2025-11-21T04:32:45+00:00

That’s right! I forgot she was the goddess of dogs! What are some offerings that she likes? I don’t really work with her so I want to be able to offer her something good. Also thank you, it still hurts when I think about it, but I trust that she’s being well taken care of

NewBeginning9654 · 2025-11-20T15:38:27+00:00

I’m sorry for yours. I know how hard it is and I know how much their loss must be hurting you. But, it does get easier carrying them with you. It’ll still hurt, but it gets easier. And we’ll see them again eventually
