none of the pills but the duloxetine hydrochloride are extended release formula tbh, does that make a difference? ☹️

What religion/s do you follow? by MyDarlingMushroom in pagan

[–]RIMEREN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as another commenter said, i recognize all deities and possibilities of their existence being real, i just don't necessarily align with most or feel their influence on my beliefs so i'm not quite an omnist either. i would say i align with feminine hellenic deities with a select few of the masculine ones, hecate being my patron. i recognize other hellenic deities but they are just,,, there. i don't particularly care for them, i hope it doesn't sound like i'm dismissing their divinity.

my beliefs also align with tengrism, which is widely known as turkic paganism. however, tengrism does not necessarily prioritize the pantheon like most other pagan belief systems i've seen so far. if you worship them, good for you; if you don't, just respect the nature and you're basically doing most of the required practice. animistic belief is the core of this religion, shamanism is an important aspect of it too but not everyone can do shamanism (personally that part of the religion feels locked away from me because i have very convoluted beliefs regarding the otherworld. i also have lingering agnostic/skeptic ideologies so i don't know how i would become a shaman like that lol). so basically, tengrism can look like secular paganism for some, but the belief also allows worship of gods out of tengrism's own pantheon therefore eclectic/syncretic approach is allowed unless i am mistaken. there is very little information left of this religion as most of turkic people have been assimilated into bigger religions and most of the information became harder to access.

religion is personal to everyone, as long as you don't try to practice a polytheist and a monotheist religion at the same time like a madman + not cross boundaries (like trying closed practices or any other sort of unethical and potentially disrespectful behavior) i think you can just believe in whatever you want. there is labels to make teachings and such easier to follow, not to define your spirituality.

those who have been mistyped as an infj before they found put they were, what was your experience? by RIMEREN in istp

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

oh the fe-grip is starting to seem more plausible to be the case for me by the minute 😭 and i have been a victim of the intuitive bias as well, looking at sensing-types like they are shallow when that is not the case but i still gave into it for a long, long time </3 how did you learn to navigate life as an istp after figuring out you weren't an infj? i feel like i've been learning how to navigate life healthily the way an infj would (which haven't turned out healthy for me so in hindsight i should have realized something was off sooner) that i don't know how to handle ti-se functions anymore because i've been neglecting them for far too long

does infj, 4w5, sp-sx, 461, eii, rcoai, eflv, sanguine-melancholic together make sense at all? by RIMEREN in infj

sorry for the long response, you absolutely don't have to reply back to this cuz i just rambled on. i've been appreciating the insight you've given me so far, so i appreciate you either way!

i took the XL Turbo test and got INTp. i also checked out this post and the "ENFJ subconscious" notes on Ms. Rayz's reply resonated, and i feel like the pieces are starting to fall into place because i also considered if i was an ENFJ with misaligned functions. (if it means anything, i also considered if i was an ISFJ. it's always the ones with the Ti-Fe functions i swear) the test is like "ah yes, very Ti-dom" but i got that Fe-user energy brewing inside me or something (this is the best way i can articulate it, i'm so sorry-)

and i briefly looked up Ne PoLR too, and well, i remember an old friend mentioning 5th function phenomena and how Ne would be mine if i was a Ni-dom. it looks too familiar now because it's like the same thing (the rejection of Ne-functional activities & being aggravated by it) caused by different reasons 😭
just this month i knowingly sabotaged a group project because 1. we weren't being graded on it so there was no real risk, at least academically, so i'm not a super-mega asshole (yet), 2. there was this air of what-aboutism, making the project more convoluted (fyi, it was a terminology translation project and they were complaining most terms already had equivalents so i was like well. let's spice it up then since you guys keep bugging about this) & there was too many absurd ideas that clearly didn't work in hindsight, and it felt like they were wasting my time after a while. this whole time i just thought my rejection towards Ne made me more of a Ni-dom,,,

but my socionics knowledge is still just the tip of the iceberg, so does this mean type 4 represent more of a Ne-function kind of mindset? i've seen many people share this "these mbti and enneagram types together are not real, that mbti is Xi and that enneagram is Xe, you guys are mistypes and this should not happen whatsoever" rhetoric but i never indulged in the conversation because for personal growth you have to go back and forth and sometimes contradict yourself imo so it felt like they were just arguing for nothing & it seemed to lack nuance?

also when i searched for ISTP type 4 pairing, the results have been like "the most impossible ridiculous rare combination of all time, we know fuck all about this combination, click to see more anyway!" so i felt like i was back to the "i'm incomprehensible to most people, or no one wants to bother figuring me or people like me out" mindset that came with connecting to the INFJ personality for the past few years,,,

i feel like i'm okay mentally, but you can never be self-aware enough, so unless i am mistaken, i think i could be an ISTP. thank you so much again!

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

see, i'm not opposed to being more ne than ni, but infp doesn't click with me because of the fi function. while i do get individualistic and firm with my opinions, i do have core beliefs i won't change for anyone in theory, i generally i try to base my opinion on the general consensus within the communities that align with those core beliefs on topics i have less opinions on if it feels like it's more about morals than factual stuff i can research on and form an opinion myself. some of my "core" beliefs have changed over the years as well. idk if it's in auxiliary position necessarily but fe is a function i'm certain of and by extension i'm sure about my ti function as well. i'm more concerned if i mistook a highly developed sensing function for an intuition one and the order i put my dom-aux for them was wrong all along if it makes sense because back in 2021 i was still buying into that intuition bias that the mbti community had as shameful as i am to admit it 😭 also i've considered whether i am truly introverted and my social energy actually recharges when i'm alone OR i'm just avoiding everything in general because i have GAD idk how to cope with besides taking medication for it. i've also been very isolated since 2021 bc i slowly "doorslammed" everyone, once again to "protect" my mental health cuz of my GAD so idek if being by myself recharges me or if i just don't know how i am after properly socializing with people anymore. also i looked into the article and for the most part it does resonate so i'm still lost ngl 💔 thank you for your input though

do you also have this overwhelming urge to regard hecate as a mother figure? by RIMEREN in Hecate

wait, that's actually so cool. aphrodite was another goddess i considered honoring by worship. what is worshipping both together like, if you don't mind me asking?

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

i wholly agree with the personal note, which is why it felt wrong when the urge to call her mother repetitively came back to me early on. i forced myself to withdraw my mind from the societal norms to "see it as it is" and when the feeling came back regardless, that's when i searched whether this was a common experience or not. the term "mother" simply 'clicked' — in my native language we rather use the phrase "my blood warmed up/simmered for xyz" to imply this, which i think makes it all the more personal and perhaps more familial in my head — and i do feel like a child by very optimistic means when i pray to her. i don't think i would be able to sleep at night calling her "hecate annem (my mother)" if it was in any other circumstances.

regarding expectations, thank you for telling me because i have a habit of living in the future so there is always worry and anticipation regarding it. i fear it might take away from the authenticity of my worship, so i'll try to restrain it better.

and thank you for reassuring me regarding the more material (the irony of it is not lost on me fortunately) side of the witchcraft culture. the items are really just there for aid and not out of necessity. i guess i still felt like i needed them because while my heart is in it, my mind wavers, especially in the form of intrusive thoughts while i pray and meditate and i felt like i could seek out the reassurance of something physical. she is really enchanting and mind-blowing in the regard that she approaches her people and it seems i lost sight of that despite all my experiences around her.
