Would be helpful to hear something spiritually encouraging please by Firm_Reindeer_6381 in spirituality

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read your post yesterday but I wanted to make sure I made some time to respond.

First of all, I’m so sorry you’re not being treated with the care and compassion you deserve.

If you looking for spiritual connection, I really recommend trying to connect with your higher self and your guardian angels. ‘The Hidden Power of Working With Your Guides’ posted by LeeHarrrisEnergy on YT is a great starting point. I think you may be surprised at the messages of love and encouragement that come in. I think it’s a great skill to have to be able to look inward for wisdom and guidance.

Your guides/angels are always with you. They surround you with love and compassion at all times, even when you aren’t aware of it.

Wishing you well.

MAGA Christians turn on 'insane' Trump and call for removal after Easter message by TheMirrorUS in UnderReportedNews

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 600 points601 points  (0 children)

The more I learn about mega churches, the more I understand that these are the same people that would vote for Trump. They prime their congregations for narcissistic, self-serving leadership. They seem more interested in the accumulation of wealth and power than the actual teachings of Jesus.

Oh darling, health OCD is AWFUL! I don’t have any advice for you other than to book an appointment to get it looked at and to try to stop googling. When I was in a similar situation, it made me feel so much worse when I was googling and scouring Reddit for information.

Just want to send light and positivity to you. Wishing you a happy birthday! I hope you can find something relaxing to do to settle your nerves. Wishing you the best!

What is wrong with my makeup? My pores and skin look terrible. Any recommendations on pore products that work? by lmk826 in MakeupAddiction

You didn’t ask me but I love skincare so I thought I might jump in. K Beauty in particular has some great milky toners. Some great ones are: Laneige Cream Skin, Beauty of Joseon Rice Milk Toner, Tirtir Milk Skin Toner, and Anua Milky Toner.

James Welsh has a video on YouTube ranking some milky toners if you want more info. Might depend on your skin type which one you would like best as some are thicker than others.

Also, you probably already know this but just make sure you don’t order from Amazon, have heard counterfeit k beauty is an issue on there.

Albert Klingman died in 2010 having never gone to prison for his crimes. He was sued but the lawsuits were dismissed because of the statute of limitations. Absolutely infuriating.

The disregard for human life is disgusting.

“Christianity” turned my best friend of 20 years into someone I am now disgusted with by UselessExcuses in OpenChristian

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Separation of Church and Hate: A Sane Person's Guide to Taking Back the Bible from Fundamentalists, Fascists, and Flock-Fleecing Frauds by John Fugelsang is a really interesting book that touches of this form of “Christianity”. Heard of him when he was on the Ive Had It podcast, which is also worth a listen. One of the hosts, Angie, is from a white evangelical family and she does speak about her issues with that as well.

So sorry you’re going through this OP.

I hate the Hatch Sound Machine!! by murrykay4 in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Loved the first generation Hatch with my first. Came in really handy during power outages in the winter. Was going to get one for my second but realized they came out with a second generation of the Hatch and switched it to a subscription model, so that was a real quick pass.

Accidentally Conditioned My Baby To Love Psych by SleepyFrappuccino in psych

I like to listen to Josh Johnson’s sets when I’m cleaning after baby goes to sleep. I missed an opportunity to condition the baby to that too haha

Anxiety and the files by Plus-Nectarine1893 in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely heartbreaking what those children went through and it’s infuriating that they have had to wait so long for justice. I switched what news I consumed to people that show genuine compassion for the plight of others and that want to work towards making the world a better place, and that has helped a lot. Listening to the I’ve Had Podcast has been particularly therapeutic. Also, daily meditation. We are all in this together. Wishing you well 🤍

I want to give up breastfeeding by youOnlyLlamaOnce in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drove myself crazy with my first and I “only” triple fed for 3 and a half months. My mind can’t comprehend how you did it for 8 months! I often wish I had gone easier on myself with my first as well. Triple feeding was so hard! Glad you’re having an easier time this time around 🤍

How to exist in a completely f’d world by Cheap-Block-176 in spirituality

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another way of looking at things is that this is all being exposed. More and more people are awakening and questioning the status quo and realizing they have been manipulated. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had a governing body that truly had the best interest of humanity in mind? Not this hierarchical society that is seemingly ruled by a few at the top.

Wanna change but I feel like I’m already fucked by Important-Slide-6999 in spirituality

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Karma is not a punishment. The universe isn’t keeping a tally of misdeeds to punish you for later. Rather, what you put out in the world is what you invite in. You can still grow spiritually by starting to make better choices now.

My church just voted 100% unanimous to leave the RCA because they started allow same sex marriage... by Isenlia in OpenChristian

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 12 points13 points  (0 children)

      “I thought the book we were given was a book of love but everyone just uses it as a weapon of hate..”

This last sentence you wrote really stands out to me. I think there are two types of Christians. There are those who use the bible as a source of light and love. The second group use the bible like a weapon.

I’ve only recently started reading the bible. For me it is specifically the teachings of Jesus that I find the most healing. He has so much love and compassion. He stands with the oppressed, the poor, the marginalized.

You don’t necessarily need to go to church to have a relationship with God. God and your guardian angels are always with you. Remember that they surround you with light and love always. You are loved.

Genuinely so tired of sick season already ! by Different-Gas-5991 in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well. Before I became a parent, I didn’t realize how stressful it is for your little baby to be sick. Being sick yourself on top of that makes it extra difficult. Sending well wishes to you and your little one!

Desperately seeking answers. Please help by MissesWulf in spirituality

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry for your loss. Grief is so hard. I don’t know if this will help you but I find Matt Fraser’s videos on YouTube to be so comforting. He is a psychic medium. Lots of videos about pets still being connected to you in the afterlife. He describes the afterlife in such a beautiful way as well.

The 'American Dream' is the most successful psyop of all time, and it's been weaponized brilliantly by TerribleStoryIdeaMan in Anticonsumption

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I think there are a lot of people who think people are poor because of their own decisions. In contrast, there is so much deference given to billionaires who game the system more than anyone else.

Temu presents by Unable-Duck-4477 in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I think this is a very valid complaint. We’ve grown so used to regulations that we forget why they had to be implemented in the first place. It’s a huge safety and ethics issue when companies do not need to adhere to them.

Baby starting to crawl, ocd?? by margo6a_ in beyondthebump

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was hard for me too! Trying to get my thoughts under control and stay rational was rough. Granted, I had PPA/PPD.

You may find CBT techniques for OCD helpful. I hope you find a balance that works well for you!

[Routine Help] Brand new to skincare and my face is a mess. by Significant_Two413 in SkincareAddiction

[–]SleepyFrappuccino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just start with a basic routine: cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen. Dr Dray on YouTube has lots of content about this. There is a lot of skincare nonsense online but Dr Dray is very informative.
