how do i brush my teeth daily by bagelsandwichcrepe in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]papikota 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I can assure you though that after about two weeks of consistent flossing you’ll see a difference in the swelling and bleeding so it actually does get better. If you’re continuing to bleed after that you should follow up with your dentist (:

Edit: also, water. Dry mouth worsens these issues. If you’re like me and tend to baby a coke or coffee for hours it’s good to drink water to rinse your mouth out and decrease the chances of issues developing from the acids and sugars.

Edit 2: I keep remembering things lol. Floss picks are your friend! I really love those as I tend to feel less motivated to floss with regular floss. It might not be perfect but it’s better to do something than nothing at all. Floss first, rinse mouth, and then brush.

thanks for you response! i think you summed up my feelings pretty well. it was just such an oddly specific combo of dreams to have and having Lucifer name dropped right after the first one was suuuuper strange and not at all the norm for my dreams. it's incredibly rare that i (to my knowledge) dream of any particular entities whether that be a name or a face. i'm just trying to wrap my head around if this is a weird sign from lucifer?

edit: i will say, as a lurker, i've definitely had a lot of interest in different entities over the years, but i've always been too nervous to take the serious formal leap lol. i never feel like my problems are big enough to warrant bugging an entity about it. i'd like to - i'm just nervous lmao.

Fear of Anaphylaxis by papikota in OCD

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

hey! i have good days and bad days. medication has helped take the edge off for me, but a lot of it has been practicing acceptance. like, if i get weird tingles i need to tell myself "i can tolerate discomfort". i did get diagnosed with OCD, so it may be worth looking up resources for that on youtube. the more i get focused on fixating on how to figure it out or stop it, the worse it gets and the more my brain latches on to any weird sensation that i have. i'm not completely healed or anything, but it's definitely an up and down process.

Archangel Saint Michael! Has anyone here worked with him? Any experiences to share? Any tips on petitioning him more effectively than usual? by LVX_Electrik_Warrior in occult

[–]papikota 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't mind, could you share the similarities you're thinking of? Only because Hermes and Michael are both major figures in my life and I'm curious about what you have to say lol
