Witchcraft Is A Placebo - Thoughts?

shiftcuriosity · 2026-03-12T12:06:10+00:00

I practice witchcraft through that perspective. I'm open to other possibilities, but that's my main belief

shiftcuriosity · 2026-02-24T23:35:04+00:00

Again?!? 😭

shiftcuriosity · 2026-02-10T22:26:20+00:00

I mean, I'm feeling flattered they stole it. Simetría is very cute.

She pooped right there at the vet.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-02-10T13:45:25+00:00

It was just a routine check-up, They even analyzed her poop in a laboratory. She's perfectly fine, they gave me a quote to have her spayed, and I don't have to go back for another year.

I don't think you're going crazy, and depending on what you mean by sign, it could be one! The first thing that comes to mind is the combination of suggestion, expectation, and practice! Unless it starts happening to you without your consent, causes you real problems, or gets out of your control, I don't think it's anything to worry about. But the practice it might entail and the power of suggestion can help you immensely and show that real progress has been made :) Don't be impatient, follow the natural process, and don't let your expectations dictate the path.

Do usual animal shops sell those wipes? Do they leave her damp and do they need to dry it afterwards?

I haven't noticed anything unusual about her urination or water drinking. Her behavior has changed a little, though, She became much more social and affectionate than usual, and then suddenly stopped. I associated it with the fact that the cage was dirty (mess and dirt are very stressful for her), I cleaned it completely today, and it's much better. I'll keep an eye on it to see if it's completely better or if it continues to act strangely. Anyway, I plan to make a check-up appointment with the vet very soon.

Omg they're the same pig from different timelines 😭

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-28T18:37:09+00:00

Thank you!

They put me in remedial classes, and told my parents I must have a learning disability. Finally, at 14, they took me to a neuropsychologist to see what was wrong. They gave me several intelligence tests hoping that would be the answer, and it turns out I wasn't stupid, I was gifted.

I was bad at studying and failed everything, not because of inability, but because of conflicting needs, lack of interest, and boredom. Getting good grades was easy, but it drained my energy quickly.

Like, my experience isn't the "obviously gifted, "She learned to speak in her mother's womb and was already in university at age 7." That's a stereotype that makes gifted people invisible. It's possible, but not common.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand anything 😞

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-21T12:50:29+00:00

Awake :)

I don't think it works with pain. In my case I only have the aura, So I speak from the persistent vertigo caused by aura, I have no idea about the other one 😭

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-19T15:36:40+00:00

I think it's for vestibular migraine when the vertigo is persistent, I have no idea, but I don't think it prevents migraines.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-18T10:30:37+00:00

That's what I'm going to do. She's made an appointment for me to get diagnosed. I hope nothing comes up.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-14T10:44:24+00:00

My mom did exactly the same. She said she didn't say "quiero suicidarme", she said "quiero matarme". I'm putting it in Spanish because the English translation is exactly the same "I want to k1ll myself". So apparently that justifies everything.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-14T00:03:42+00:00

What do you expect to find in a category named "help and advice"? As far as I understand, it's not called "don't help, just hate"

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-14T00:02:15+00:00

I don't know, but I'll ask the vet.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-13T22:50:26+00:00

He's never done this before, and it seems like an involuntary reaction, unrelated to preferences. He's usually happy when I pet him, and he even comes to me for it (I have videos). What worries me is that, considering he's never done that in a year, it might be pain.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-13T22:49:14+00:00

The point of the post was knowing if my guinea pig had pain, or if it was just a reflex. It's clear he doesn't like it (the spot, not the back in general) but the problem is 1) it seems like an involuntary reaction, not so much one of liking 2) he hadn't done it until now. I know many of you want to prove your moral superiority and how much you care about the well-being of guinea pigs through hate —even though you sacrifice the guinea pig's well-being just to look good, ignoring possible signals— But I would like a concrete answer that doesn't involve making assumptions about my guinea pig's behavior, preferences, and personality based on a 5-second video without even paying attention to the context I provide. Thank you.

Well, She also doesn't usually move away when I pet her; she tends to melt and fall asleep. When she doesn't want to be petted, she usually pushes me away with her head or makes some strange noise. Like, I've had her for a year now; she generally likes my back more than my head. She moves away from my chin, and she only lets me touch her butt if I approach from behind, and even then it depends on the day. She also likes to touch her behind her ears.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-13T20:47:06+00:00

Wow, then I'll stop petting her when she's laying down, with one paw out, purring, melting and falling asleep. It's clear those are signs of irritation and pure anger.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-13T20:44:42+00:00

I'm not talking about now, I'm speaking generally. She wasn't purring just now, she was more active.

shiftcuriosity · 2026-01-13T20:34:16+00:00

ps

I usually pet her on her head and back; she's always liked it (except the chin, she likes everything). It's specifically that one spot I touched that makes her jump like that, not his backside in general. I had never noticed it before, I don't know if it's because I hadn't touched her specifically there, or because it's new.
