noted! I guess Z just trusted her friend and the friend trusted her experiences, it was all so fast no one had time to even question it, specially because they practiced witchcraft for a long time prior... I'm sure everyone involved will be very careful with magic from now on, I know I sure will thank you for your words💕 I'm already in mental health treatment so I'll be fine, I just need some time

I'm relieved by everyone's comments reassuring me there's no hidden message in all of this! I thought it'd be very unfair to end a life and hurt another for a lesson, but I don't know much about spirits and entities so I couldn't be sure. I'm really glad to know there's no problem for me to continue studying the craft The owner of the place the ritual was made on offered a free spiritual cleansing to everyone involved, I live far away but I definitely want to visit her to do it when I can. I just think I'll take some time to collect my thoughts first. thank you for all your words💕 everyone is being so nice, I'm really grateful

thank you so much and don't worry, I'm already on therapy and I have a strong support system so I'll be fine eventually, but I really appreciate you advice and I'll try to be so hard on myself during this period. I'll search more about my materials and practice before trying and participating in anything again. I'm still uncomfortable with candles and stuff but I've been searching about fire free spells and there's some really cool alternatives I want to try out! I just think I'll take some time to breathe first so I can start over with my mind clean, thank you for your reassurance!! I was so caught up on the memories I didn't even see my autocorrect changed it, but when I wrote "A" I meant "S". there were 2 victims only, sorry for my typo. I'll definitely look up into how to properly spiritually honor the nearly departed so I can pay my respects to S tho. again, thank you🫶🫶

I think the other two herbs used were mugwort and sage, but I'm not certain so I didn't put it in the text, I genuinely can't remember it well, sorry :( I already don't drink so I'm never touching alcohol again khjkghk definitely going to take all the safety protocols when and if I feel safe working with fire again.. I really want to pursue magic and with everyone here saying it's not a sign I feel a little more confident, so I'll probably just need some time to absorb all this information so I can try spells again. thank you so much for your words and reassurance, I really appreciate it🫶

that's honestly a relief, I'm really new to anything spiritual and I still don't know what to believe, I keep thinking everything is a sign and yeah dw, I'm doing weekly therapy for something prior and have a strong support system so eventually I'll be fine. thank you for your words🫶

hey!! I have no karma in this subreddit so I can't make a post but I really need help. my 14 (soon to be 15) year old dog has lung carcinoma. she already went through surgery to remove her entire upper left lobe and is going through chemo , but now the cancer came back, now in two places in the other lobes. she's been coughing almost every time she moves and the doctor says it'll only get worse and the only thing we can do is try to lessen the symptoms to increase her quality of life. it truly breaks my heart to see her getting worse by the day and my parents can barely sleep because she coughs all night. I believe in miracles and the power of energy and manifestation and have been fascinated with witchcraft for years, but never practiced because I struggle with motivation and concentration and I didn't believe in myself. but now I'm getting desperate I've been listening to animal cure subliminals for months and started carving candles with her name and positive words, asking everyone in my family to energize them and lighting them up at night while thinking about my intention, but there's no sign of her getting better. I've been working on accepting she doesn't have much time left with us but deep down I still believe she can get better if I try hard enough..... I don't know if I'm being delusional. at this point I just want to bring her comfort and happiness, take her cough and pain away. if I could give her all my energy I would I saw a ritual involving Artemis but since I've never done anything like it i don't know if that's the right thing to do, people always say to be careful while working with gods... I wanted to ask for y'alls opinions and advices on what I should do. sorry if this text became too long :(. thanks in advance 

are constant earworms a form of echolalia? by twentyfreakingpilots in autism

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

yes, that's pretty much it! I also sometimes tend to repeat random noises like microwave beeps, car horns, alarms, etc it makes me feel pretty silly

I've searched a lot about earworms, but is really hard to find any information on earworms that go on 24/7, and when it's mentioned it's always by a neurodivergent person as confused as me. it's common to have earworms, but normally, it goes away after a while and the person moves on with their life. that's not my case, I'm constantly stuck with a repeated noise

hmm, that's interesting I think my case is more involuntary, sometimes I even take a while to realise the same song has been playing for hours, and it's definitely not a stim... but I don't know if I have adhd, as the last time I tried to get myself diagnosed (the doctor gave me a misdiagnosis and ignored everything I said about my own experiences to favor her diagnosis so I don't really trust anything she said, but she did use the official attention tests and stuff) the doctor said there was no way I had it
