Hey everybody.
Well, if you didnt see my other update, i just came out last week. Needless to say, emotions are running wonky, and i find myself dealing with a sort of dull depression, where i want to do readings and work the Craft, but i'd rather not do anything because it's kinda like if i do anything, i might start sinking into the mud and im doing everything i can just to keep moving as the ground starts turning into liquid (metaphorically, of course.)
Anyway, the point of my question, is that i just keep feeling like my emotions are gonna affect my readings, and i can't even pull energy together to work anything. It's kinda like i dont wanna talk to anyone, least of all the Cards or the Gods. I don't really know how to handle it.
I know this isnt a pagan forum, so i dont expect everyone to answer that question, but does anyone have any advice on dealing with down emotions and keeping them from interfering with cards? I don't know how to just jump into it again. So any advice you give me would be lovely. Thanks all y'all
Well first of all congrats on making such a difficult step. I'm game to talk if you need anything. It gets better.
Second of all, it should come as no surprise when I say I turn to music to help with my emotions. Not listening to it, because if I'm upset and listening to happy music it pisses me off, but if I'm upset and listening to sad music it doesn't help me at all. So I write it, and try and get my emotions down. I get so caught up in the technical aspects of writing the music I forget my sorrows. It takes me an hour to get a decent copy down, and once it's down and sounding how I want it, I feel proud, which is generally a good feeling.
Try that with some art form such as poetry, short stories, painting, hell do some tie dye. I just made a giant peace sign wall hanging out of tie dye, and it has brightened my room up quite a bit
