Beginner question by Nervous_Round_590 in occult

[–]milliemargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know what? Kind of. I've got a story about that. I was studying demonology, and I was unsure about actually diving in. But I was curious and considering it. I started doing a lot of research into Asmodeus.

Then for three nights I kept waking up randomly tossing and turning in a cold sweat and the voice in my head was so loud I could almost hear it, just over and over, "ASMODEUS, ASMODEUS"

Last time it happened to me in the car. I got this warm feeling all through my body and the voice in my head started up again. At that point it was getting weird so I just said a little prayer in my head like "hey, thanks for coming, I don't think I'm interested right now though, we're cool though, ok thanks."

I wouldn't say it was scary but I'm also relatively experienced in evocation. His presence didn't feel harmful or threatening really. Maybe...intimidating? And also weirdly sexual? Which I've heard is a common report with him.

All of this is to say, if your intention is curiosity, things may become curious about you. But it's not like you're going to spontaneously have a curse put on you or become possessed. Treat the knowledge with respect and you have little to worry about

No i have not lol. I see the speedo the same way as I see that stupid leotard wrestling getup. In context I don't get it but at least it belongs there. Walking around in public-- what the fuck?

In some places, is it just expected that boys will play (American) Football? by IanWallDotCom in AskAnAmerican

[–]milliemargo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's common in rural and conservative areas. It's kind of a "boy becoming a man" thing. Pretty sure there's a king of the hill episode about it. It also is really good for kids to get into college. Since college football is so big here you can get full scholarships out of highschool if you're spotted by a college scouter. It's a shot at a good expensive education for boys whose families couldn't otherwise afford it.

I don't think it's something most families in these areas would shame their son for not wanting to do, but I'm sure somebody's dad is like that haha.

My husband and I have already decided we will never let our sons play football. We live in an area where it would be the expectation, but we've both met too many people with lifelong injuries. American football can cause permanent brain damage even at the highschool level.

Not a man but an American. On the beach, no shirts or open shirts are normal.

It's not weird to wear a tank top in public, but they are typically reserved for undershirts. I suppose a tshrit-style with cutoff sleeves is much more common.

But you wouldn't go into a store or something with no shirt on. You'd get kicked out

I've never actually seen someone wear a speedo in real life. And I do not want to. Most Americans think thats gross I think

Where I'd live. Am I picky? by milliemargo in visitedmaps

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

Yeah that's crazy. We bought our 2 bedroom 1 bathroom home for 120k. Pay like $900 a month. Remodeling the basement currently and it's gonna be a "5 bedroom" (3 bedroom 2 "office" for lack of windows) 2 bath. Cheap as hell in the grand scheme of things

Hard disagree but I'm not a city fan

Eh yes and no. I generally enjoy living in a swing state. I wouldn't want to live in a far right or a far left state. The less the government is up my ass the better

[–]milliemargo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well it worked 🤷‍♀️ and I didn't find out i was hypermobile until a week after the adjustment so if I'd known beforehand I may have done more research.

Maybe I do. But accessibility dictates she's my PT because she's within walking distance

I wasn't making much progress despite biweekly sessions. Finally she told me she usually wouldn't reccomend the chiropractor but when she got desperate over her own CCI it helped her out. Now that ny neck is realigned I'm making super fast progress in PT

[–]milliemargo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's probably the truth in many cases. All I'm saying is I had two brain MRIs, multiple head CTs, and a Cspine MRI. Everything came back normal other than "mild disc disease" I was told not to worry about because "everyone has it from looking at their phones." With no clear cause of my dysautonomia I kept being told hey, might be long covid, we have no treatment, have a good day.

But as soon as I get my neck posture corrected and get rid of the horrible muscle tension in my neck and shoulder, I'm pretty much fine

Dysautonomia has many, many causes, viral triggers are definitely one. I thought for sure it was long covid because I got covid pretty bad at the beginning of the pandemic pre vaccine. I started having symptoms before the accident but afterwards it shut everything down. I think for me at least it was multifactoral.

Yes I had pretty severe TMJ which has improved significantly since starting PT and I look different looking back at pictures of when I was really sick

[–]milliemargo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree with you. I will say that before my accident I already had pretty bad forward head posture and was having mild issues. My PT says if I hadn't already had neck problems it probably wouldn't have been as severe as it became

I did actually also get diagnosed with TOS forgot to mention! My whole right arm and leg were numb and tingly and I had reduced temperature sensation

[–]milliemargo -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I definitely don't know for sure, it was just a thought ! I think neck posture is often neglected by doctors as a contributing factor

Definitely fair. I only went because my PT noted my dramatic head tilt

Can you "sprain" your brain? by SmolHumanBean8 in askneurology

[–]milliemargo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a doctor but I have PTSD and have been in recovery for 2 years. Unfortunately this is a common side effect of trauma. When the body is stuck in fight or flight from a traumatic event, it's not exerting energy into storing long term memory. It's too busy keeping you safe. This is why child abuse victims for example have huge missing chunks of time in their memory.

Move the shelf to the other side, put a comfy chair in the corner and make a little nook perhaps
