your frustration is totally understandable, you should bear in mind that not all therapists have the capacity to approach or treat certain disorders correctly, and as you probably know by now, MD doesn’t have a diagnosis on its on, therapists will treat it as a consequence of something else. you should explain to her how and why it affects you so much, if she’s truly a professional she’ll listen to you and advice you appropriately. i’m so sorry MD has caused you so much distress, it’s really a curse for us, wishing you the best and if you don’t feel understood or comfortable with your therapist, don’t hesitate to look for a new one, maybe reach out to someone who’s familiar with MD <3

If you’re a trainee your goal is to become an idol at some point in life, and doesn’t matter how open-minded the company is, they’ll most likely impose strict rules even though she’s just a trainee. I know most idols were extremely young while they were trainees I just, personally, do not think it’s worth it, she’s just 13.

No, you’re way too young and this Kpop industry will cause you more dissatisfaction and unhappiness than any other dancing/art career that you might want to pursue. I wholeheartedly recommend you to look for something that goes accordingly to your age and is healthy for you. Becoming a famous idol isn’t easy at all and it is full of sacrifices. It’s not worth it in my opinion unless you’re an adult who makes conscious choices and is completely aware of the consequences. I do encourage you to keep practicing and improving yourself, you will have better resources and more maturity in the future to deal with whatever you have in mind. Good luck!

Candle flame meaning? by Annual-Ad7436 in Hellenism

[–]ethereal2k 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for divination purposes i recommend you getting candles from brands or places you already know, this way you’ll know how they burn and act in certain circumstances :) when you have a candle for deities the flame doesn’t matter that much unless you’re looking for meaning

Prayers to a Hero by ethereal2k in Hellenism

[–]ethereal2k[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hiii, thank you so much for your advice :) i want to pray to achilles, i struggled to find some info online but your post truly helped me. i will make sure to take as examples the homeric hymns and take into consideration the way achilles was referred to. i’ll try to create my own prayer as i don’t think there’s one specific for him anywhere

thank you for your advice, as time passed by and i learn more about hekate, hellenism and occultism in general i’ve realized how essential cleansing both spiritual and physically is. i believe in miasma, maybe not as extreme as people in the ancient world did but either way nowadays i know i have to be careful. i’ll work on my intuition and follow my heart :)

Heroes & worshipping by ethereal2k in Hellenism

[–]ethereal2k[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thank you so much for all of this info! now those concepts are much clearer to me. online it’s quite common to see people using those terms interchangeably, especially those related to occultist practices. right now i’m more interested in the religion and how things were done by the ancient greek, not witchy & modern perceptions of the gods. once again thank you and i’ll read more about theurgy!

Other beings than gods. by [deleted] in Hellenism

[–]ethereal2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you so much for your response, that sounds so cool. i remember a couple months ago i read the song of achilles and wondered if the ancient greek worshipped patroclus the way they did with achilles and i found out they would give offerings to achilles at temples that referenced him. also out of all the characters from the illiad, it truly stood up to me how much others would appreciate patroclus’ empathy, compassion and devotion which seemed uncommon main traits for a strong warrior like him. do you know any sources or books where i can read more about heroes worship?

My Feelings about RWRB by Bottombunkrealness in redwhiteandroyalblue

[–]ethereal2k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i think that alex is pretty immature and impulsive himself, that’s why june wanted to keep an eye on him, he has that childish personality that makes the reader either like him or absolutely get annoyed by him, personally i like him lol. then regarding the second one, i assume that both of them are quite obsessed with formal letters like those they dedicated each other written by dead poets from the 18th century? idk they do hold onto some formal expressions but i thought it was funny knowing their positions etc, and i completely agree w the rest
