you don't need to practice everyday to be a witch

[billcyp-her-deactivated20241123]

Witch things to add in your room, poor person edition

Fuck it Most of witchcraft people tell you to buy shit. So here's some stuff u can do for free

grab some sticks from the ground, bind them together in a shape you like, add intent (usually protection), hang it up

make a flower crown, add protection intent, dry it out, hang it up. protection spell and real ward. regularly recharge intent.

dry plants, set warding intent, hang them up.

crushed eggshells on your window sill to prevent bad energy.

wear a bandana or veil somewhere on your body, sometimes i use mine as belts, to protect from bad vibes.

paint your nails in the color meaning you want. mine are pink for self attraction rn

when you light up a candle always ask if theres a spirit or entity there, pyromancy skills can be learned through google, tumblr, and tiktok.

Regularly clean and rearrange your altar if you can't practice everyday, this keeos the space clean and shows entities around that even if ur not active, you're still a witch

A cup of water can be an offering to anyone, imagine being an entity and you can't have water at all for centuries??

If you have glasses, draw a sigil on them while you clean them (i usually wash mine with soap and water to make it extra clean ((and dry with paper towels)))

Give your wall art jobs. Sure they can be decorative, or they can be extra eyes to watch you while you sleep to make sure no one messes with you. (Ive had so much wall art fall in the middle of the night and turns out smth was trying to get in my room...)

If you have black-out/thick curtains, let the sun in!!! I keep them tied during the day so i can use natural light and ease up my electricity bill

Change ur bedsheets semi regularly, it doesn't need to be every week, but keep in mind bedbugs and other entities can get trapped there... or even try to get there to make your sleep unrestful.

If your room is a bio-hazard, at least make pathways so you can walk without injuring yourself.

Thats all i have for now <3 blessed be and fuck capitalism

People like to forget schizophrenia/schizoaffective/schizotypal isn’t just “seeing things”. It’s severe social anxiety even with your family or best friend, disturbing recurring thoughts, violent thoughts/plans, being overly sexual, sensory overload, wanting to cause chaos just because you totally could, thoughts of self harm, etc. Its not pretty girl with pink, dirty hair following something across the ceiling.

We’re fucking terrified, not beautiful and tragic.

[randomthingsthatilike1]

Listen the first miracle Jesus ever performed was turning water into wine and early Catholics were like “well Jesus if you insist” and they never looked back

[the-artifice-of-eternity]

I worked at the front desk of my university’s Jesuit community. One time a priest came in and said “I have a delivery of holy water for Father Murphy.”

“Great! You can just leave it with me.”

“Well,” he coughed, “not literal holy water.”

“Oh,” I said. “Is it not blessed yet?”

“Not exactly,” he said, and dropped a case of merlot on the desk.

For Traitor: neck retraction exercise. While lying in bed with your head flat against the mattress, give yourself the biggest double chin you can. Repeat 10 times.

For Jackass: stop hiking your shoulders up to your ears. This is pretty much a stress thing, it’s human instinct to protect our neck when we’re under stress so that predators can’t get at it. Easiest way to do that is be elevating the shoulders, so. Periodically take not of where your shoulders are at.

Absolute Fuckwaffle: stretch out your chest. The rhomboids on the back work to keep our shoulder blades back, so when we’re hunched forward they are constantly straining to do their job. Unfortunately it’s not as simple as telling you to stand up straight, since our pectorals get chronically tight and prevent us from doing so. Step one: pectoral stretches. Hold for at least 20 seconds.

Asshole: Superman exercises. Like the rhomboids, the ESGs are straining against the slump. Stretching the chest will help them, too, but then you e got to strengthen your back. Do 20 of those per day.

In case you were unaware, a personality disorder is a mental health disorder which is literally ingrained into a persons personality.

Someone with paranoid personality disorder is always going to be more paranoid than the average person. Someone with narcissistic personality disorder is always going to have a bigger ego. Someone with dependant personality disorder will always need others more.

To truly treat a personality disorder takes years of intensive cognitive behavioral therapy. To completely reconstruct a personality is impossible. Personality disorders are unique from other mental illnesses because our disorder cannot be detached from us.

We can try to cope and try to better ourselves, but were bound to fall back into our ways now and again because of how deeply rooted our disorders are. We act without thinking, many times we’re truly unaware of what we are doing, call us out, make us recognize our behavior. Lack of recognition and awareness is the biggest reason we don’t get help in the first place. Above all, support us, forgive us, don’t demonize us because we are different.

maybe… support mentally ill ppl even when u don’t like their symptoms??? support schizophrenics who frantically search every room they enter because they are scared of Something, support splitting borderlines, jealous narcissists, very sexual histrionics, schizoids who don’t fake empathy, systems with “mean” alters, irritated bipolar people, schizotypals who never “make sense”, paranoids who constantly constantly check on others to see if they’re causing them harm even though they don’t know them, antisocials who don’t try to be “nice”, avoidants who will avoid you for weeks and then message once and disappear again, dependents who can’t even dress without help deciding on what, ocpd people who need you to do things again and again and again until you do it Right, ocd people with “disgusting” intrusive thoughts and compulsions, psychotic people who yell “to themselves” and cope badly with their hallucinations, autistic people who don’t interact the way you want them to, adhd people who literally never sit still or listen to you, anxious people who always sweat, people w ptsd who refuse to let go off their trauma, people with addictions you consider to be “to blame” and with “ugly” withdrawal symptoms and everyone else. mental illness doesn’t just have symptoms you like and you have to accept that.

reasons why eye contact makes zero sense:

which eye are you supposed to look at??

i’ve already seen your eyes (probably) so why do i need to see them again.

if i’m staring at your face how do i see the rest of the things that are happening around me?

[autistic-bee-blog]

.you don’t speak with your eyes? I’m not listening to your eyes, I’m listening to what you’re saying, and I can’t do that if I’m being distracted by your eye-holes!

-do other people just NOT feel like they’re on fire when they make eye contact? Is that a thing? Why should I look at your eyes if it makes me feel like I’m pottery in the process of being fired?

-last time I heard, eyes weren’t lie detectors (polygraphs are actually super unreliable btw) so I don’t understand why people associate not making eye contact with dishonesty? People that make strong eye contact can lie too, I don’t understand this social skill at all tbh

[chaurey]

Also, when people are lying they tend to make MORE eye contact than usual so eye contact is definitely not always are sure sign of honesty

[schizotypal-hippy-fiend]

Also, eye contact is kind of Creepy

[tachylyte]

what low empathy means: can’t relate to people’s emotions, not feeling sad/happy/excited etc when other people feel sad/happy/excited etc, having blunted emotional responses to people a lot, etc etc

what low empathy doesn’t mean: fighting with random people and then trying to excuse my behavior by saying I have low empathy, insulting people, being mean, wanting to see other people suffer and hurt aka Actual Abusive Behaviors

how to deal with paranoia when you're home alone

since being alone generally makes my paranoia worse, I figured I’d share some things I do to make myself feel safer.

• pulling down shades - helps you feel better by keeping people from watching you outside.

• keeping music on or watching a (non triggering) video/movie - helps distract you from any noises that you might perceive as dangerous.

• put tape over camera/webcam - helps you feel safer when using your computer.

• stay in contact with friends/family - knowing someone that cares for you is available is helpful.

if you have any of your own coping strategies feel free to add on! (anyone can reblog this post)

[schizotypalsuggestion]

- wrap yourself with a blanket if you can

- keep yourself busy and distracted, find something to mess with in your hands like a ball or a fidget toy anything to get your hands moving, it helps keep you in the now

- check every room if you need to; here’s a tip if you’re extra paranoid about moving around the house alone, if you can call someone do it and explain the situation, my gf staid on the phone with me once even tho I was just going down the stairs because I was so scared so the people who care about you will understand

[pinkmisspiggy]

being touchstarved makes u absolutely buckwild when someone does smth simple like .share a chair with u

[pinkmisspiggy]

like having someone touch your hand with the tips of their fingers shouldn’t feel like So Much it shouldn’t feel like your whole body is going into anaphylactic shock but here we are. here we are.

hey so you know that vicious cycle of mental health making you unproductive which makes your mental health worse? don’t worry friend I am here with something that can help

just get one thing done. break the cycle. it doesn’t have to be some big task. in fact it’s better if it isn’t. decide on something that takes five minutes or less. keep it tiny and manageable - the key is to feel like you’ve accomplished something, so when your brain is all, you can’t even do a single thing all day except lay in bed being useless, you can be like, oh but I did do something, brain, suck on that. it might not seem like much at the time but it helps a lot to have something tangible you can point to

do you have dirty dishes in your bedroom? get rid of ‘em. you don’t have to wash them, just put them in the sink with soapy water. done. easy.

do you have a pile of empty water bottles sitting there? good for you staying hydrated. but you don’t need a mountain of plastic reminders. throw a few in the trash or in recycling. don’t worry about chasing down every single one, just pick a number. get rid of 5 or 10. easy, manageable even if you feel terrible. done.

do you need to do something early tomorrow? get something ready now. just one thing. lay out an outfit. fill the coffee maker so you can just press a button tomorrow. pack your backpack or purse. bonus benefit, future you will have an extra few minutes to breathe in the morning.

do you have a pet? spend 5 minutes with your pet. cuddle them. play tug of war. make baby noises at them. your pet loves you. I bet they miss you when you’re sad. you’ll both feel better.

has it been 3 weeks since you did laundry? pick your clothes up off the floor and put them in a laundry basket. don’t actually wash them or even take the basket anywhere. just collect the clothes for later so they aren’t spread all over. it’ll make actually doing them that much easier when you have more energy

did you manage to wash your clothes but not put them away? fold something. fold another thing. and one more. put them away. three things. you got this one.

did you do your one thing? good. I’m proud of you. even if it didn’t make you feel better, guess what? you did a thing. you got something done, you can be done now. you can go back to bed if you want.

[plain-flavoured-english]

I have learned from experience that doing nothing generates its own momentum. The longer you sit on the sofa doing nothing, the harder it is to get up. The best way to break the cycle is to get up. Just get up and do something small, the tiniest thing, it doesn’t need to be important. Some of the best things to accomplish are drinking a glass of water or going for a short walk and getting some fresh air.
