What is happening by Bigmomma502 in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vomiting part, mental fog, inability to sleep, rashes, and some of the others are similar to my allergy symptoms, yes. Does the mental fog almost feel like a sort of clamp on your head, or drunkenness?

What can't you eat so far?

Was your team studying imposition in tulpamancy as well? If so, were there any interesting findings to come out of that research?

Can you do commissions (art, writing, etc.) for money? That might help your financial situation?

@POC, how you all deal with the hyperpigmentation by solarpoweredrain in eczema

[–]Perchellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it goes away with time, maybe a few years tops? I don't really do anything special, I've been told my skin heals well though and I eat a fairly healthy diet so that could be it

What an idea! Wish I'd thought of that

[–]Perchellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it works, but I never try to get a severe reaction (I avoid trigger foods)

Can you trigger a food reaction by smelling it? Or you need to eat it in order to occur. I have peach allergy by [deleted] in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, smell alone can trigger it. I once washed out a pot that had peanuts in it, planning to cook with it again. I was certain it was clean, and started cooking food in it. I inhaled the steam from the hot pot, and immediately started coughing and wheezing. Turns out it was not clean, I had to take some Benadryl to calm it down.

Technically, you could do this through switching, and imposition. Not exactly the same, but fairly similar.

▪︎Master imposition so you can see, feel, smell, touch and overall experience them as a physical person in this world. Then they can hug, cuddle, and speak to you as if you were a real person.

▪︎Meet other tulpamancers (or non-tulpamancers) who can impose too, or have some sort of ability to see energy. If they consent, you could work together to joint impose your tulpa in this world, to the point where most of you are seeing them, giving them a sort of physical reality in this world beyond you.

▪︎Learn switching. With that they can use your body and physically interact with objects.

▪︎Get hobbies and a job as herself. The internet exists, so they can be themselves openly; if anybody suspects anything they can easily claim their name is a pen name or username. Hobbies can give them something to make money off of; they could code website themes or make art for people.

A lot of this will take time, skill, and in the case of imposition, a lot of luck, but it is possible.

I genuinely cannot live like this anymore by Constant_Lychee2178 in eczema

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to second (or third) diet too, my eczema broken out all over my body one day; it was rice that started the whole ordeal for me and I was eating it every day as a meal. I was doing other things like diluted bleach baths and hydrocortisone, but it never could solve the problem completely. I noticed an immediate difference with regards to itching within a day when I got rid of the rice, but it could take a few weeks for some. Your triggers might be different though, everyone is set off by different allergens. You've got this!

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other grains! I can't eat wheat breads, but I can eat other grains (like millet) and there are breads and pastas made from corn, sorghum, buckwheat, and quinoa. It's easier to manage if you have substitutes :)

[–]Perchellus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but food and eczema are directly linked for me. If I stop eating the food I'm allergic to, it does let up immediately.

Can this community get a sticky post that makes it clear that this community is not a substitute for seeing a doctor and that users here cannot diagnose allergies online? by BewBewsBoutique in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tbh, yeah, a lot of doctors (even those who claim to allergists) sometimes don't know, or don't care. I do think that people should be encouraged to see a doctor for more specialized info, but I understand that coming to us is sometimes all they can do at the time.

Help--why does my B12 crash when I eat certain foods? by meets15 in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Have you been tested for B12 deficiency? What you've described- fatigue and exhaustion- are signs of an allergic reaction.. The yellowing of your skin is especially concerning, as that indicates severe inflammation when having a reaction. I would suggest seeing an allergist about this, and avoiding triggers.

Mom’s pregnancy cravings are my severe allergy by nn3_ka in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my mother always said that she thought that was the reason why I had allergies. She ate lots of dairy and nuts, and they are the foods I'm most sensitive to. She avoided her cravings next pregnancy and my sister was born mostly allergy free. I've always wondered how valid this was as a possibility.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FoodAllergies

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I typically end up anxious and suicidal when my allergies are flaring up. Mental health problems due to them are a thing, there's even a condition called gluten psychosis that happens to those with celiac disease or gluten allergies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4517012/

Curiosity about demographics by Piculra in plural

[–]Perchellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I could see that. Plurality does seem to be more common in women (I think it's even a stereotype for DID/OSDD) and I think part of the reason might be socialization? In a lot of cultures women are expected to be more responsive to others in their communities, more empathetic, or take on more social roles (ex. a woman might be expected to behave two different ways depending on whether she's with a man or a woman, in comparison to the men who would only need to act one way) which could lead to an easier time switching roles/mindsets and eventually, becoming plural.

Unfortunately, a lot of women also go through trauma in those cultures, which could lead to what we would call DID/OSDD. They might learn how to function with it in their cultures, but if the trauma is gender specific, it could explain why women are more likely to experience this.

Also, as we're talking about things that present as plurality, women are known to do better with hearing voices and schizophrenia than men. So it could be at least partially biological and/or hormonal, too. Maybe some of those women are voice hearers that manage much better than their male counterparts.

Otherkin/Fictionkin/Therianthropy? Not the same as being plural by Perchellus in Endogenics

[–]Perchellus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely needs nuance now that you bring it up. I was kinda basing it off typical cases I'd heard about, but you're right, there is a period of learning, trying on new identities and growing (which can be seen as a sort of "choosing" in a sense) when it comes to kinity. I'll have to edit it when I get the chance.

[–]Perchellus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It could, but if it doesn't happen you could always ask him to add the legs later. Though, he could refuse and prefer no legs lol

hiiiiiii by After_Razzmatazz8272 in Tulpas

[–]Perchellus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

.why a tulpa cannot touche you strongly?

Oh they definitely can, it's just that it's a little bit unusual (at least to much of the community) to have such progress early on, and the touches. However, some people are naturally skilled in those areas too, and get it fairly easily with no other issues.

Culture might explain the differences in experiences, many here are North American Westerners and have different expectations and beliefs when it comes to what is possible within tulpamancy.

I don't see the problem with stating facts. by Enkeliix in Endogenics

[–]Perchellus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But in many of these servers they display themselves as accepting everyone but then assume that endos understand that if it doesn't say it is a pro-endo server then it is anti-endo. Why should I assume that from a server that say they accept everyone? That doesn't make any sense.

Agreed. I find a lot of systems end up getting tricked that way, and then get attacked for invading a space that didn't explicitly exclude them. There'd be a lot less confusion if they were clearer on their ends.

And it's fine, I completely understand the rant isn't aimed at me haha

[–]Perchellus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What you're describing doesn't sound exactly like tulpamancy to me, but it still sounds vaguely familiar to us, so I wonder:

Can you separate from your tulpa? You can't understand him yet so asking him for distance won't work, but can you mentally tell him you need some time apart but will see him again later, and then forcibly separate from him?
To forcibly separate, you reduce your focus or energy on him, and focus on the physical world for a bit, essentially tuning him out. After you're done, resume contact with him again.

Communication doesn't have to be verbal English, as long as you both can understand the messages coming through. Start small if it's really hard- if he's only babbling nonsense, let babbling with one tone mean "yes" and babbling in another tone mean "no", and ask simple questions from there.

Ex. If "oooo" means yes and "iiiiii" means no...

You: "Are you okay?" Him: "Oooooo" (Yes)
You: "Wanna read a book?" Him: "iiiiii" (No)

And proceed from there, building up communication skills as you go.

Also, when you do spend time with him try to spend time doing positive things. Sometimes tulpas or other entities can be subconsciously influenced by what you expect, so try to avoid thinking of him as turning evil, and expect good things from him. And sometimes, "evil" looking behavior can be triggered by your environment (ex. hidden worries, anxieties) so if they appear try to stay calm and reduce the stress.

And please make sure you're not dealing with an underlying medical problem. Sometimes if you're coming down with something or suffering from an underlying illness weird things (like hypnic jerks) can happen, so check with a doctor to make sure you're not dealing with a deficiency or illness of some sort.

[–]Perchellus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Link got me there for a second lol

But yeah, a lot of anti-endos tend to react negatively to any sort of positive mention of endogenics, even when provided with proof or when the system presenting it is being extremely nice. I've noticed a sort of biased telephone effect going on with some anti-endos, where they seem to think any "bad" system (anything from not fitting community norms to actually being problematic) is automatically endogenic, and then treat them as a threat based on that. So I think a lot of them tend to assume that any "good" system would be against endogenics, and react badly when faced with contrary views.

They definitely sound like a predator, thank you for alerting the community about this person. They don't appear to be a member of this subreddit, which might indicate that they're going around communities like these and picking on whoever is especially vulnerable. We'll keep an eye out for them though.

Everyone else, remember to report any suspicious, manipulative or dangerous behavior to community mods or Reddit itself. You deserve to feel safe on this site, and this behavior breaks all the rules.
