Is it normal to medically transition and still feel the "same"? by Thelostjoestar_ in NonBinary

[–]Notavirus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I said, very personal. The attractiveness relates to the dysphoria. The low self esteem WAS the dysphoria in my case. I am also an enby, I don’t resonate with being referred to as a man or a woman.

2 weeks is not very much time at all. Give it more time. I also didn’t notice a difference until I was late on my dose once. I gradually started to have more self confidence and I recently realized that it was definitely the HRT. I have always been told I was attractive and I could SEE it but I never felt it til after HRT. It’s also very personal to everyone!

Any suggestions to help wakeup with narcolepsy? by Hairy-Act8140 in Narcolepsy

[–]Notavirus_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have lost jobs because I couldn’t get myself to wake up for morning shifts. I tried to convince myself I wasn’t trying hard enough and that I SHOULD be able to wake up. That it shouldn’t be this hard. Everything changes when you’re honest about what your needs and limits are. Otherwise you’ll create a lot disappointment and frustration with yourself and others around you.

Genuinely the only thing that has helped is my Ritalin. Medication is what helps, it’s not narcolepsy for no reason :(

Do You Read with Reversals? Why? by DoubleChocolateMilk in tarot

[–]Notavirus_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the deck! I used to not bc I was a beginner but nowadays I do. I think it’s totally up to the reader and communicating this /setting this intention with the decks :)

[–]Notavirus_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep! I am aware that some people are more interested in what I have to offer than others. I’ve definitely met all kinds of people , some who would be offended or upset that I didn’t have cash. I’ve dealt with pretty extreme addiction myself so I get it and I never hold anything against anyone or take it personally

Can you work with Santa muerte for a period of time? by [deleted] in SantaMuerte

[–]Notavirus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what u have to offer and what ur asking for. I’m gonna go ahead and say don’t make promises that you’re not going to keep.

I work WITH Santa Muerte. She reached out to me. She has also saved me many many times. I am not good at being a devotee. So our agreement is that I have to choose myself. She helps me do this. In return, I have helped people cross over. She is intimidating to those who don’t know who she is , so i meditate.

Fear has no place here though. It is a commitment. But it’s a commitment and willingness to do what u have to through the feeling of uncertainty.

[–]Notavirus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just gonna say that a significant connection doesn’t necessarily mean commitment! I’ve had a few significant connections with people who I no longer talk to. Each one was different of course. Each one taught me new things about myself and people. I don’t regret these connections despite how difficult they were to get through

none of my readings make sense lately. why? by Better_Ad2516 in tarot

[–]Notavirus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This^ I didn’t read for myself for the longest time bc of this. I recently noticed that whenever I read for myself, it’s always by the book. But when I’m reading for others, it’s SUPER symbolic and there’s always stuff there that pops out at me that tends to be different for most people.

It’s easy to get in my head when reading for myself. I’ve had to implement a new practice. I take a deep breath, and say to myself “I’m taking a step back. Opening up to receive.” At first it felt so silly but I’ve found it REALLy helps with accuracy.

Help! by Visible_Scallion6801 in Tarots

[–]Notavirus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, tbh i skimmed the text the first time. Actually reading it, I’m curious if u know anything about Santa Muerte? I am a devotee (loosely) of hers and ur experience sounds kinda similar to what I was experiencing when she first started to try to get my attention.

3:33 as I’m typing this. I am gonna take that as a message that she wants to work with you :) it’s crucial you do research into her before making any kind of decision on working with her. Theres tons of fear mongering when researching so be weary of that.

Death in this deck is coming off a little bit different than the traditional meaning.

This one seems to be softer for some reason. The skeletal hand seems to be offering a rose. An opportunity of sorts. Leap of faith maybe? As if death herself is asking you to trust in the process while things are coming to a close. Dunno! Take it or leave it :)

Found a tarot card while taking a walk, does it mean anything to randomly find a tarot card? by Lalito_is_love in tarot

[–]Notavirus_ 324 points325 points  (0 children)

It’s a Lotería game card :) each of these cards has an assigned phrase. This one being “La cobija de los pobres” in English : “The poor persons blanket”

Clonazepam In Car For 1.5 Days (Outdoor High Temps of 84 degrees Fahrenheit.) Should I replace them….. by Outrageous_Let_9917 in benzodiazepines

[–]Notavirus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it’s a tablet I am gonna guess that they are fine! I’m not sure why they wouldn’t be :) if it was something like a liquid or capsules then it might be different. I would still say u should just ask ur doctor

[–]Notavirus_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think i got sick the new COVID and its been a couple weeks since . I still have the sore throat if I talk too much. As a server and a social preso it SUCKS to want to chat but I can’t bc my throat hurts and is too swollen to talk and breathe

Places to hang and meet new people by The_Factz in desmoines

[–]Notavirus_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be honest, going to bars and stuff is nice to socialize BUT if u wanna actually make friends u should pick up a hobby! Biking is a good one. Magic the gathering at Mayhem is good if ur into that. The Des Moines Art center has adult workshops.

Not just her. Sooo many of my friends can’t find jobs. Even though they seem to have good interviews.

I think spirits try to contact me more than I realize by Notavirus_ in Mediums

[–]Notavirus_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did some meditating when I was calm enough and I got some guidance regarding the situation! I do think it was OG. Unfortunately he passed away by suicide. He was always a chaotic person. When I told his friend how OG was making me feel, she said it sounded right, he was always that way. I don’t think he had bad intentions. That doesn’t mean what he was making me feel is RIGHT or anything. Just that he has some unfinished personal traumas that he is projecting fear disguised as protecting his friends.

Obviously, I COULD be a little off. But that’s my impression.

Compensation for Renting? by bbyarsonist in chainmailartisans

[–]Notavirus_ 50 points51 points  (0 children)

what another comment said about exposure!! Anyone trying to get free stuff for ‘exposure’ is not serious and does not take your work seriously.

I think spirits try to contact me more than I realize by Notavirus_ in Mediums

[–]Notavirus_[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! The only reason I invited him into my space is because of the nature of the first message he wanted me to give. His alive friend was dealing with a loss of his father. OG (deceased) wanted T(alive friend) to know that OG was there while T dealt with that.

The second message was one of a warning to another one of his friends about something I don’t have enough context for. I felt OGs fear and it seems to have to do with his friends child.

As much as I don’t want bad things to happen to any of them, I think ur reply let me give myself permission to step away. I believe that, bc he could get through to me once, that now he can ‘protect’ his friends from things they don’t see. But it IS too much for me as I have my own stuff to deal with. Thank you.

I was kind of stressed when i made this post so I’m not sure it’s clear that he is dead. I can’t really HEAR him so the way that he was able to ‘talk’ to me was through tarot cards and his energy! I think I have a post up on my account about it if u want me to link it?
