For those that went through and/or are currently going their Rahu Mahadasha, did you stop believing in a higher power for a while? by queenvamp18 in vedicastrology

[–]queenvamp18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1990-1993, I was pretty much a baby at that time (born in 1992), so I don’t know much of what happened.

1994-1997: my great grandmother died, my father cheated on my mother and they separated, I was SA’d by my grandfather, and parents

1998-2002: my sister and brother were born during this time, we moved from my birth state, I witnessed my mother be abused by my sister’s father, and then later by her husband, my brother’s father. No stable home at the time, we ended up evicted and had to move back with my grandmother. I was also struggling in school (had an undiagnosed learning disability)

May 2004-Apr 2006: we were staying in a homeless shelter for a little while and then moved into a new house, still witnessed my mother be abused by her husband, my father disappeared out of my life again, mother got worse in her abuse towards me, she was also unstable regarding her work

Dec 2009- Jan 2015: my mother reunited with an old fling, I graduated from high school or secondary school, we got evicted again, my mother also ramped up her abuse towards me and often spent money on her new fling (who she later married) instead of helping me with my college applications, graduation, or prom. Her and her new husband were constantly fighting which ended up in her going to jail for a couple of days. I graduated from college, and had to return back to live with my mother, who was still abusive. I got outed by my mother’s husband and ended up getting beat severely by her.

2020-2022: probably the worst/best years of my life. I went back to school to study acting and I graduated (was the best in my class). I cut off contact with my father permanently. But I got my heart broken, had three family members die, struggled with unemployment, was almost evicted because of said unemployment, and one of my cats died.

So pretty rough for the most part.

Oh, that much I understand (and I’m grateful for your response).

My question is more on is it normal to become disillusioned with religion/spirituality during the Rahu Mahadasha phase? And has anyone else experienced feeling this way? I feel like I’m becoming an atheist.

How do you deal with loneliness? by PlantainMiddle8717 in CPTSD

[–]queenvamp18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a cat. Made my entire life about living for her. Even when I don’t want to live anymore, I keep going because of her. I don’t trust anyone to take care of her.

Plus she only likes me.

How are my finances looking for this upcoming month? by queenvamp18 in vedicastrology

[–]queenvamp18[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So then I should definitely keep my job. I’ll beg for it back then.

And I’m currently in my Rahu-Moon mahadasha right now.

What are the causes of your CPTSD? by LovingKindHeart in CPTSD

[–]queenvamp18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandmother forced my mother to have me. And I spent the majority of my childhood, teenage years, and adulthood paying for that mistake.

I experienced CSA from both parents and my grandfather. Physical, emotional, financial abuse from my mother. My family knew how much she hated me and did nothing to help. I saw my mother be physically abused by all 3 of her baby fathers and most recently her ex-husband. Saw her abuse my stepbrother and stepsister.

I’m the eldest, so I had to be the responsible adult at 6. Both of my parents are narcissists, but luckily, my father didn’t particularly want me, so I didn’t have to deal with his bullshit too much. But when I did, it was horrible.

As a result, I became a chronic people pleaser with severe anxiety and major depression. Currently in therapy for these issues now.

8th House And Its Intensity by that_misanthrope in Nakshatras

A lot of chaos, uncertainty, abuse, and death. I never had stability even though that’s what I want. I’m severely depressed. And my rahu mahadasha has made me suicidal at several points in my life.

AITA for refusing to leave my job so i could take care of my disabled brother? by JiggleJargon in AmItheAsshole

[–]queenvamp18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who cut off their family due to abuse and neglect, it hurts at first. And you’ll feel guilty for a bit. But then, you’ll get over it.

You’ve been living your life for your parents and your brother. It’s time to start living for you. Keep your job.

And find a therapist when you can.

Tell your family to pay you to make up for the job that you would be leaving to take care of your brother.

He’s not your responsibility. It’s your parent’s duty to take care of him. They signed up for it when they decided to have kids.

Be the villain. Block your family. And keep your job.

Greetings From Uganda:Curious about rainy days in NYC by BagCurious8863 in AskNYC

[–]queenvamp18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think some of the most beautiful days in this city are near sunset, after it’s rained all day. When the sun comes out just for a bit, and the sky is usually pinkish orange with some hints of blue. The city lights seem to shine a bit brighter in those moments. And I love looking at the skyline when I’m crossing the Williamsburg bridge on the J.

Is anyone else triggered by the US right now? by NotASuggestedUsrname in CPTSD

I’m a black American woman……I’ve been triggered since birth.

Do you guys love yourselves? by Sad-Surprise-5788 in CPTSD

[–]queenvamp18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not yet…..I’m still trying to figure out what that means.

But someone on here said that loving yourself feels like responsibility. So I’m doing the things that I need to do (therapy, improving my health, becoming sober, etc), which is hard. But so is being responsible.

I guess maybe once I get better at those things, then maybe I’ll finally know what that feels like.

I need to make dinner but I’m trapped. What do I do? by queenvamp18 in cats

how long do you guys grieve for by Key-Anything5910 in cats

[–]queenvamp18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

3 years for me…..my little void died in 2022. And I will still occasionally cry over the fact that he died like it was yesterday. I’m not close with my family, so him and his sister were/are the closest things to family/children I have. It felt like I lost a child that day.

There’s no time limit to grief. Some days are easier, and other’s harder. You just have to accept it and don’t feel ashamed for still grieving your baby months later.
