I'm going insane. Please if there's someone here who understands of voodoo and so. A shaman told me mom has an aggressive spirit husband but

[Against_the_current]

The shaman scammed the shit out of me. My mind is doing backflips. I need mental support. I searched for a therapist but the two therapists i want to start going to are busy till next week and next week im going back to university city because mom will be on a break and it's not a good idea to stay with her

[HarryBraynes]

Hi Against_the_current… Can I offer you some moral support? I’m not familiar with your family history but would like to extend my help if that’s acceptable. Not sure what to say… but I can listen really good....

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

Thank you. Just i beg you not to say "i don't know what to say" or "that's bad" as they make me hopeless

[HarryBraynes in reply to Against_the_current]

Thank you for that guidance. I’m feeling really concerned and just want to be able to support you

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

Thank you so so much! Please please feel free to message me. I need support so bad. Please help me

[HarryBraynes in reply to Against_the_current]

do you prefer pm? or to stay on this thread

[HarryBraynes]

Who is this shaman? Have you seen this person before?

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

Instagram highpriestess_camila

[HarryBraynes in reply to Against_the_current]

well for sure stay away from this person… they are obviously not acting in your best interest.

[HarryBraynes]

She said your mom’s husband has an aggressive spirit? what else did this person say...

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

No, mom's divorced. She said that mom has a spirit husband possesing her

[HarryBraynes in reply to Against_the_current]

What credentials does this person have that you can rely on for accuracy?

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

She made me do rituals and said that these rituals made her see this. Mom gets aggressive at night and she doesn't even remember

[HarryBraynes in reply to Against_the_current]

can you describe the rituals she directed you in?

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

Light candles around a bowl with water with egg inside and money under it is what i remember. She said she killed a goat. I had hard time saving the egg and water every night

[HarryBraynes]

Try to be mindful that you are here on HealthUnlocked with others that are safe for you to be with. Try to take a deep breath and slowly release....

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

I don't feel my soul in my body. My limbs are heavy and i feel a limp in my chest

[HarryBraynes]

I hear you saying that you don’t feel your soul, that your limbs are heavy, and that you feel a lump in your chest. Thank you for sharing that with me, Against_the_current

[HarryBraynes]

Are you able to take a deep breath?

[HarryBraynes]

I’m here if you need to chat… I’ll keep my eyes open for you…

[Against_the_current in reply to HarryBraynes]

Thank you so much. That's what i need

Hi AtC,

Have you heard the term disassociation? Here's some info on it:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disso...

It's not dangerous in any way. From what I understand, it means "disconnecting" from the present moment. One of HairyBrain's responses looks familiar to me as a common way to bring someone who is disassociating back to the present. Do you practice mindfulness?

A way of bringing yourself back to the present is to look around whatever room you are in and notice things. It could be to count the rungs on a curtain rod, to look at a chair and notice it's color, to look at the floor and study its pattern/texture, to look at a fishbowl if there is one and watch the fish, to notice how the light reflects off the window panes, etc, etc, etc.

[Cavalierrubie in reply to Alpakka123]

I don’t know if this will help, but if it was myself in your situation, l would seek help from my local church. Pastors are trained to deal with sort of thing. Also, if you keep saying out loud the name Jesus over and over again, anything evil is terrified of that name and will run a mile. Tell this person to stop her influence, and don’t do what she is telling you to do and that you are seeking professional help from now on. Don’t listen to threats, they are fake and lies. Wishing you love and peace.

[Alpakka123 in reply to Cavalierrubie]

Hi,

I think this reply is meant for AtC.

[Cavalierrubie in reply to Alpakka123]

Sorry. Yes it is. 🤗

[Alpakka123 in reply to Cavalierrubie]

No problem. To the you the truth, I wasn't sure at first who this was for. Your words pastor and church got me thinking "dang! How'd she know?" (I have a situation going that involves a pastor, a church, and a narcissist). I will take your advice about not being swayed by her influence (in my case, this would be the narcissist's), so thank you!🙏.

Kind of funny how this worked out.

[Cavalierrubie in reply to Alpakka123]

Oh my. God works In mysterious ways. You are in the right place to get over your problems. Love and prayers. X

[Alpakka123 in reply to Cavalierrubie]

Apparently so! Who knew?😂P.S. He sure does!

[secrets22]

I do believe Shamanism exists widely but unfortunately there are many fake Shamans who put nothing but fear into people, and those are the ones who are seeking monetary gain, and i hope you have not handed over any money, please steer clear of those charlatan's.

[Midori in reply to secrets22]

Absolutely. Please don't go to these Charlatan Shamans. They are bad news. All they are after is your money.

They are no better than an internet scam. If you have a faith, go see your pastor, priest or rabbi.

Cheers, Midori

we all need help - try and becalm and know that you are as ok as any of us on some level - all have issues and are fighting stagnate and pains inside dont feel alone

[lovemydoggy]

From what you’re describing I think you’re experiencing dissociation. I’ve experienced similar many, many times. It’s common and anxiety is the root of it. It is scary, but nothing to be afraid of. Realizing that will help a lot.

Is there a mental health crisis line you can call? You could explain the situation with your mom to someone. It could help a lot. Your anxiety about your mom is overwhelming you. It’s almost impossible to deal with hard situations when anxiety is this bad.

I’m glad you’re reaching out for support. 💛

[Against_the_current in reply to lovemydoggy]

Exactly. I have bad dissosiation. I get lost in the supermarket. There's like one crisis line that picks up and they're cinical and burnt out. So is my mom. Wish they understood im struggling so bad
