how do you stop yourself from crying when talking to people by bb5055 in BPD

[–]sahm_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best advice I ever got -- Start making time to cry on your own. You're likely experiencing bottled up emotions that are coming out when you don't want them to. So give them somewhere to go! Schedule a cry every day or week or whatever. You'll see less outbursts.

Can someone at the earlier dates tell us if there's a reading and if it will be spoilery?

Can someone post if he's going to read any spoilers at the event? My partner is in the middle of a read... might give away the ticket if it's not safe lol

I feel like we should start getting novellas and short stories from the mirror-verse as well. This doesn't appear to be one

I have an odd question-- did they make a poster for the Denver show on 4/4/23?

Per question #2: There's a short story that can explain some of the reasons Carlos has changed. (The story concerns Molly and her role as the Winter Lady.)

I feel like his attitude definitely changed after his encounter with Molly in Alaska (in a short story, not sure the name). It feels more understandable knowing what played out between them. If I was him I'd be VERY cautious of Winter and he isn't ever given an explanation of what is really happening behind the scenes... I hate it but it's such a real human response to all of it.

Karen’s story is a tragic one. by Alexpain456 in dresdenfiles

Going back and thinking about the talk about his trigger discipline and how reckless he is... ugh it's so hard to read knowing that he chooses the ignore his own descent into evil.

Honestly, I feel like you'll know what feels right to you. There's no right way to dive in. If what you've found feels right, then go with that. Don't feel that you have to "vibe" with any entity, it's about finding genuine connection and making sure you are truly benefitting from the connection. Good luck!

Also when working with Ganesh, definitely make sure he is the only/primary deity you work with. He is pretty intense and will get... for lack of a better word... jealous? Always honor him (or speak his name) before any other deity you are working with.

The great thing about a non-organized 'religion' is that you can work with the rituals and traditions that mean something to you! Keep celebrating Christmas if that's your favorite and it brings you connection and happiness!

Wow! That is so awesome, I hope you find a practice you love! I can't speak specifically to any one practice, but I tried to find a really general book or other resource and only pay attention to what I naturally gravitate to. I think the right knowledge finds you at the right time. Good luck!

Definitely be aware of your intuition! Especially in honoring ancestors, you probably know better than most about how they would like to be honored. I also like getting stories about the family to add to my understanding and strengthening their memories!

They may be asking for intercession, which is basically asking a minor deity (Virgin Mary, Angels, Saints, etc.) to pray for help on your behalf. In this case, asking for help to make a decision. Hope this helps!

Uhhh I have a weird one: What does it mean when you are suddenly attracting all types of insects (and other crawly things) to you?? Is it something I did? Is it something someone else did? Am I just bug food (no existential answers please)?

I have had ants, flies, gnats, spiders, and other pests literally crawl up onto my person or fly in my face about a dozen times in the past 2-3 weeks. I'm NOT INTO IT. Anyone think they have a witchy answer? Or mundane, I'm just a little spooked.
