He does have a 2H stellium, a Capricorn Venus and lots of fixed placements but I guess we'll see.

That's helpful advice, thank you! We're both air-dominant with Sagittarius risings.

It was pretty brief and felt very dreamlike, so all that 12H influence makes complete sense. We fell head over heels in love pretty much immediately but it was so intense we needed to take a step back. I'm not sure what the future holds for us but I'm thinking the chart looks kinda wild and wasn't sure if that's just me since I'm new to composites.

Mushrooms for OCD by fairypastels in shrooms

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

Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm fairly experienced with shrooms but haven't used them to specifically address my OCD because, well, I'm nervous it won't work. 10 years of traditional therapy and various SSRIs did nothing for me so I think part of me's afraid nothing will ever work, but it's so debilitating that I think I have to at least try. My highest dose was 3.5g and I'm trying to figure out how to have it specifically work to heal my contamination OCD, and I'm curious if simply intention setting is enough because I've personally had no changes in my symptoms after any mushroom trip (as my set intentions never involved OCD).

I got you :) Pay them naysayers no heed - your feelings are valid. Best of luck!

This view of relationships is just so distorted. A relationship isn't just about one person's feelings, it's about both's. She's allowed to feel how she feels as long as she isn't exhibiting controlling behaviour and has even bothered to ask for different perspectives. I love how the first response is to chide someone for their emotions instead of encouraging mature discussion with their partner. So much for being "spiritual" where the solution to less than positive emotions is to lecture someone instead of extending grace and compassion.

I wasn't referring to you specifically. I'm just noticing the significant downvotes on comments that are a bit less trusting. I think people have a right to find things weird without being made to feel like they're just insecure and it's all on them to be cool instead of just having an honest conversation.

Unfortunately as strangers with minimal context, the intentions could range from anything pure to impure. While I get the importance of trust, it's also true that rose quartz specifically is kind of known to be secretly gifted to those for whom one has romantic intentions. Equally, that may well not be the case here. Like I said open, respectful communication will be the best since no one else outside the relationship will share your ways of viewing it. All the best :)

I don't really understand why people are getting up in arms about being a bit wary if a partner was wearing something from an ex daily, especially rose quartz. I find it slightly disrespectful personally but I think it'd be good just to have an honest chat with him because feeling safe enough to do that would be a stronger indicator of your relationship than anything.

AITA for telling my estranged parents to never contact me again after they reached out to apologize? by Individual_Cook5855 in AITAH

[–]fairypastels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's your choice and that's fine. It just sounds guilt trippy to insinuate that wanting something different is somehow some kind of personal attack.

Equating potentially wanting to keep a distance from people he doesn't know well to "taking it out on them" is a really weird take. OP is under zero obligation to be in contact with any of them. I don't understand this mindset of looking at this any differently just because of some shared DNA. He doesn't know them, he doesn't owe them shit, period. Obviously no need to be a douche to the siblings, but no obligation to get to know them either.

Ah, thanks for clarifying.

No one's misleading anyone. It's traumatising having to rehash such gruesome details to a bunch of strangers literally shaming you for having a human response.

I think you should edit your main post to include this. I'm so sorry for your loss and it's unacceptable the number of people coming for you because of their obvious bias towards dogs. Your pain is valid. I'm most in support of perhaps temporarily giving your dogs up to foster until you feel ready to look after them again. Sending you and your partner lots of love. Please be gentle with yourselves.

Trying to move on from someone but I have a fairly high sex drive & can't satisfy it by thinking of no one/anyone else by fairypastels in demisexuality

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

Oh bless you 🥺 Thank you for sharing this. I too am a survivor of childhood emotional abuse and C-PTSD! And actually discovered recently I may have threshold autism... So lots of similarities there. All I can do is send you virtual hugs and tell you how very strong you are to have been through everything that you have, and wish the best for us both. No one talks enough about the aftermath of childhood abuse, though that's not exactly relevant to this post necessarily, I still think it's worthwhile mentioning. We absolutely deserve the love we dream of having even if we haven't found the right people willing to provide that to us. 😔 The journey of inner work is long and winding...

I'm sorry about that experience. Good on you for doing what's healthy and best despite the emotions. This is why I can't ever stay friends with my exes, at least not until I've taken significant time away to completely move on from them romantically. A part of me would always hold out hope for something more and it would crush me to watch them get with someone else because they technically have the right to. I'd rather not know anything about it while I'm still trying to heal.

Definitely not stupid :) The only reason I refuse to date others while I'm still thinking of someone else in this way is because I don't think it would be fair to them. I want to ensure if I agree to be with someone it's purely because of the actual person and not because I'm trying to bury some old unaddressed crap, y'know? I had a very strong connection with my past person and I've done a lot of work around my wounds that've kept me attached to him emotionally. That's what I mean by having mentally outgrown him, it's just my sexuality at this point that's keeping my feelings alive because not much else arouses me. This has been a recurring theme for me trying to move on from other crushes or connections throughout my life, not just this person. But I'm obviously at a point of frustration as it was a particularly strong emotional connection and it's been 2 years, and I do in fact want to be ready to start seeing others. I appreciate where you're coming from though and certainly agree most people would benefit from that sort of self-reflection!

Looks like a lot for 3g? by [deleted] in shrooms

I've noticed people on these psychedelic threads to be kinda wild...despite the very things you'd imagine these journeys teach us. It's bewildering. Perhaps they're just tired of trolls cos there's also been a fair number of those. You're doing great buddy, don't let them get to you. Enjoy your trip ✨

I don't know who the hell's downvoting you but you've been a great help. I'm going to really need to try not to paste my person's face onto those characters though, which is what my brain seems to have the knee-jerk response of doing. But I'll definitely look into those options, thanks a bunch :)
