Break for September
doubleoh8:
Hi everyone who's on a break or trying to cut down ... or quit.
I am on board for Sept, although I haven't been checking this forum much because I find it can trigger me to want a reading. I did have a lapse one day early on in the month... but nothing came of it (i.e. it wasn't worth it).
My strategy, if I have one is, I feel like a call, I make myself do something else first, to see if the urge will go away. The things I do include: prayer, exercises (best but I can be a bit lazy), or journalling. Or call a friend. All of the above helps.
The other thing I find difficult but helpful is trying to stay grounded in reality... including looking at my bank account (which, thanks to psychic calling over the past few years) is NOT in good shape. It helps me to deal with my finances head on. In fact, this may be the single biggest deterrent to calling as when I face it and do something constructive (like pay off some debt) I actually feel some relief of the anxiety that often pre-empts the desire to call.
Anyway, stay strong and I will check in again in a bit.

Vent.
I was doing fine. I felt like my reading at the end of July with Yona was sufficient and felt like I didn’t need a reading after that.
After the meet up that went well that Yona predicted, I don’t know why but I’ve felt the need to get another reading. Actually I’ve had 3 now. Well, 2 from Keen and then I just paid for a general reading with Aries Intuition. I just want to stop doing this to myself. Ugh. I don’t have the financial resources to pay for this shit anymore so I’m mad at myself for paying $70 for a reading. It gets better, right??

--- Quote from: Gemini30 on September 13, 2018, 09:09:45 AM ---I've resolved not to have any more psychic readings either. I only hope I can keep my promise to myself although lack of disposable income is forcing me to stay away from them in any case. I have decided it's best to trust my own intuition and believe what reality shows me rather than listen to psychics and attempt to rationalise and explain away bad behaviour from a former poi I thought I could trust. I've been having readings for close to four years, on and off, and I shudder to think how much money I've wasted on false hope and fairy stories. But perhaps they were what I needed at the time just to get through the situation without going mad. Trouble is, reality can only be avoided for so long, and when the truth finally hits home it is all the more devastating. I know the readings kept me hanging on and obsessing about someone who showed me their true colours a long time ago. I feel such a fool for wasting precious years in a fantasy about somebody who was clearly not interested and didn't care about me at all. He merely used me as a passing flirtation and disposable ego boost! Hindsight is a wonderful thing and time eventually revealed to me what the person was all about. I was so naive and silly; my fault entirely for allowing it to happen and not protecting myself from a wolf in sheep's clothing. I think the readings delayed the healing process and almost caused me to lose touch with reality. Yes, I chose to consult psychics and I probably did so as a sort of escape but I see how unhealthy that's been for someone like me. I have anxiety issues and tend to overthink things, so I'm stepping away from the readings. I have to look for better coping mechanisms other than consulting psychics to ease uncomfortable feelings. Trying to adopt a positive frame of mind and keeping busy helps. How long for, I don't know but I feel more peaceful today. Accepting what is.

THIS!! I can totally relate to this!! I've given the whole psychic thing some deep thought. Staying away from readings has been the best thing I've done. Even though it's only been a few weeks I feel so refreshed. I'm no longer obsessing over my ex as much as I did before. I still think of him but the urge to check in is fading because I've started to loose faith in psychisc and maybe that isn't much a bad thing given how much money I've spent with no ROI.
I really hope I can finally move on from checking in on my POI, another way that keeps me from getting so many readings is when I remind myself that my POI would never obsess or spend this amount of money on psychic checking to see what I'm up to and if I will return.

I cracked too, between the weekend promo and this guy I’ve been crushing on since January making a move, I chatted with a trusted go to.
I regret it slightly because I was doing well, and also because this guy has showed more effort than the last two POI so why bother calling?
Usually, our POI shows us everything we need to know to make our own conclusions.
If someone wants to see you, they’ll make time to do so.

I caved today called angelbaby and Lisa Dianne- they both satisfied my thoughts. I’ve still saved heaps though in a a few weeks and will restart, it’s hard going cold turkey.
@fluttershy I still obsess over my ex as much as try not too I always wonder about her. Whatever you think is embarrassing, like the last post said I’m sure I can relate too.
