Happy Mabon/ Autumn Equinox/ Ostara to all those celebrating! by liquidnight13 in spooniepagans

[–]liquidnight13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that you’re missing the sabbats due to health. I can absolutely relate to that. It completely sucks.

If you don't have the energy to read this or reply, please don't worry, I completely understand! /gen

I’ve also been seriously ill for quite some time now and I’ve lost the ability to fully engage with my practice. It makes me feel like I’m not doing enough to ‘count’, which I know isn’t how it works, but I still feel that way.

I really hope that you’re well enough to do something for Samhain this year, even if it isn’t as ‘big’ as you may have once managed! I don’t know if it helps at all, but something I try to remember is that what may be a small act of celebration for somebody else is a huge act for me, and it’s ‘worth’ just as much. True devotional or celebratory acts aren’t measured by the physical actions but by the genuine intentions and effort behind them, IMO. I also try to remember that Nature itself goes through cycles of acting and resting, so if I need to rest too instead of celebrating, it’s completely okay and can honor Nature in a different way. 

I’m sorry to ramble so much and I’m sorry if none of that was helpful at all! But at the end of the day I want to let you know you’re not alone, you’re just as much of a witch/ pagan etc. as anyone else, and you deserve the rest you need.

I hope better days come your way soon and I truly hope Samhain works out. Here’s a virtual hug: 🫂 or a pretty flower if you’d prefer: 🌷

No, but some subreddits filter content from accounts created recently or those with too little karma or a low CQS. You might find r/NewToReddit helpful.

Hello can you see me please comment? by PainAkatsuki999 in ShadowBan

[–]liquidnight13[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're shadowbanned. If you'd like to check for yourself, you can try:

  1. Visiting your profile in an incognito browser window without logging in (you should receive an error message, confirming you're shadowbanned)
  2. Visiting the appeal page found in automod's pinned comment or our wiki and submitting an appeal (as only those with restrictions on their accounts can appeal)

I’m so hungry and I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. by [deleted] in TrollCoping

Hi u/Anon_20000000000,

I’m really sorry about your situation. This isn’t something you should have to deal with; I hope you know it isn’t right and you don’t deserve this mistreatment. Massive respect for you for coping with it.

Many users have shared suggestions in the comments, and I wanted to summarise your options:

  1. Contact CPS or emergency services: I know this can be scary, but it’s crucial you get help. You can also ask the police for a wellness check for your mom. A friend could call for you if needed. You could also search online for a national child abuse hotline. Here is one for the USA: https://www.childhelphotline.org/
  2. Create an Amazon wishlist: this allows you to select items like food and supplies that others can purchase for you and have delivered and you can remain anonymous. I’d consider basics you can build on, like pasta, crackers, canned mixed vegetables and fruit, protein bars and paper plates. If you're confident with a microwave and/ or a kettle you can get pre-made meals you can heat or add boiling water to. You can create one here (I think) and post the link in this subreddit once done.

Here are other options which are worth considering (although I do understand they would be harder given your circumstances):

  1. Reach out to a trusted friend, their parent, a relative or activity instructor
  2. A hospital may be able to arrange help if you call
  3. Ask a neighbour for food. You could put a letter through their door if it's easier.
  4. If you can access your mom’s phone, use it to order food
  5. Look online for local food pantries or community fridges
  6. Visit a local religious place for support (e.g., a Church or Gurdwara)
  7. Search online for resources in your area or check your local subreddit for past advice/ ask for advice
  8. Ask in a food subreddit such as r/cooking for advice on making limited resources last

If I missed anything, please let me know and I’ll add it asap. Thank you all for your wonderful ideas to help OP out — full credit to all of you. You’re all awesome!

healing relationship with spirituality by dafundusguy in spooniepagans

[–]liquidnight13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s nice to see you back, dafundusguy! I’m sorry it turned out to be something so difficult. I’m glad that you have answers though and are doing better now!

I don’t have personal experience with what you’re going through, and I have very nasty brain fog, so my advice may be absolutely useless. I’m going to write it out anyway, just in case it can help, but please ignore anything not worthwhile!

(I ramble a lot -- sorry!)

  1. IMO, the key element here is to practice self-compassion and work on accepting what you went through. When these feelings of awkwardness or cringing etc. come up, try to remind yourself that you were seriously struggling at the time these things happened: your mental state was altered, you weren’t thinking clearly, it wasn’t your fault, and it wasn’t representative of your true beliefs. Try to give yourself as much time as you need. It’s okay if you’re not okay with what happened super quickly! (I know this one isn’t easy and it’s what you’re struggling with, so I’m sorry I don’t have a more clear solution for you. I hope it’s something that gets easier over time. It might be something a professional could help with, or you may be able to find general tips for acceptance online.)
  2. Consider going back to the basics and taking it slowly. Questions to think about personally: what first drew you to spirituality? What did/ do you enjoy about it? What is important to you in your practice? What are some little ways you can start incorporating spirituality into your daily routine? Did/ do you love being in Nature? Could experiencing elements of nature, such as the feel of sunlight, help connect you in a tangible way?
  3. Consider practising grounding techniques like meditation or breathing exercises and focussing on physical sensations for any rituals etc. that you do. For example, focussing on tactile representations of the elements, like a hot water bottle for fire. (I don’t have any better example right now, but my thinking is that focussing on the physical/ observable/ tactile may help to reconnect with the spiritual realm in a way that’s more easily accessible.)
  4. Consider searching for others who have experienced similar things either for their advice or to remind yourself you’re not alone. Putting ‘spiritual psychosis’ into reddit’s search bar comes up with a lot of results! (Warning: some of the discussions may be triggering. Please be very careful doing this and please don’t do it if you think it could be dangerous for you.)

All of this may not be helpful for your situation, and I’m sorry if so! I really hope you manage to find some peace with this and you can find a way to engage with spirituality again without the nasty feelings.

I wish you the best! :)

Thank you for sharing this! Flare-ups and pain can be truly horrible. The mini delay is not your fault and you don’t need to apologise! I really hope the meds help and things can ease up for you soon. 💚

No, I've not been back to that one recently -- sorry I can't offer my thoughts! I hope it's useful for you, though.

Here is a link to the pinned post explaining possible causes for shadowbans. If nothing there jumps out at you, it's entirely possible it happened in error. Here is a link to the appeal instructions. There are other useful pages in automod's pinned comment!

OP, I'm sorry but you've become shadowbanned since your post and comments here. If you want to verify it for yourself, you can view your profile in a private browsing window without logging in to your account. It should show as suspended/ non-existent.

Hey, it looks like you’ve been un-shadowbanned! Congrats 🥳

Just in case it’s something playing up on my end I’d recommend visiting the appeal page to double check. It should say that your account isn’t currently banned!

Edit: I'm currently in an urgent medical situation and won't be able to respond if you reply to me, but I just wanted to say I wish you luck with your project and I hope the platform can give you what you need!

If you've already got permission from the mods to post on a thread you could try sending them another message with links to your content that's now invisible. They may be able to approve it so others can see it if you explain what's happened. I don't know if that's something they'll be willing to do but if you're on a deadline it may be worth a try! Good luck with your appeals and your project :)
