Potpourri Boards > Addicted to Psychics
I want to quit
sai07:
Hi everyone, I just needed a space to share. My Psychic journey began in 2021, wasn't sure about a hot/cold POI, who I recently just broke contact with b/c he went MIA on me for two months straight without explanation. He couldn't explain the absence to me, which was obvious...he was seeing someone else.
Anyways, I have spent so so much on psychics, I'm ashamed of my habit. I do feel like psychics have been a safe space to talk about relationship issues but it has come at a financial expense. It has put me behind on a downpayment on a house as well as credit card payments. I am now at the point where I feel like I should be comfortable letting a POI go vs letting my financial health slip anymore. I want to put myself first. I want to love me more than a POI that is hot/cold.
I just need to trust myself more and accept that there will be more lonely days, more anxiety-ridden days, more days where I am crying over a boy because I have to go through the process vs getting my dopamine hits from readings, and more days where I need to trust myself to leave a POI vs use a psychic to get a read on his 'real' feelings and the 'future'.
I feel disappointed in myself, I want to let go of this habit. I have started reading this thread, if you have had any success getting rid of the addiction, I would love to hear first-hand.
Thank you!

I think we've all been where you are - I for one, still am. I would like to get to the point where I do not need to seek advice from a psychic and spend the amount of money I do, to talk to the ones I feel are most accurate for me.
At times, it feels like the conversations are very helpful - I have a few psychics that I've spoken to that have been instrumental to my growth and healing.
Kisha perhaps most of all - I was devastated when she stopped reading. More so - she was affordable compared to many others - and outstanding in her abilities.
Even so - the most useful reads I had with Kisha were not about love, or general reads on what was ahead, or career reads. It was the self growth and healing readings. I miss those the most - because they held the key to giving up readings once and for all. They were about becoming a whole person - not feeling any longing or need to please others - and not fearing the future. I still listen to those readings. They are still very relevant.
All in all - you won't give up until you heal inside and identify the reason why you call - and start to do the work to release the fears.
I wish I had better advice on how you do that. I struggle with it myself.
Be kind to yourself - calling a psychic isn't a sin. We can forgive ourselves for it and heal and grow X
Zipocal:
Just know you are not alone and dont be too hard on yourself. It sucks but in time we will all heal and hopefully be happy.
Chocolate:
I have been there too. You really deserve better than someone who blows hot and cold with you.
I’ve posted before about trying not to have phone readings and deal with the emotions like anxiety and low self esteem and becoming more resilient. It’s not easy though and I am trying to wean myself off the readings.
If you can go 10 days without a reading you will probably feel better and more in control of your situation. I have tried to distract myself when I want a reading. I tell myself if I can get to 8pm without one I am doing great and then won’t have one that day.
Let us know how you get on

Thanks so much, @Kate! Yes, that's sort of how I have felt as well, it's more therapy in a way. I can talk about things with people in a judgmental or friendly fashion. I think the sad point is when the predictions don't pan out. Then even some of that trust is lost and I feel like an idiot for trusting someone. I haven't found anyone (I use Keen) that has been consistent with predictions, especially big ones like landing a job or commitment. Contact timing is always hit and miss IMO.
@Zipocal, thank you, I hope to be happy and not reliant on something external for happiness, it is a journey.
@Chocolate thank you, yes, I want to go reading-free for the next week! And if I can do that, would be a great success. Re: hot/cold, I know I have an anxious attachment style and need proper therapy for that most likely, I have devoured videos on detachment on YouTube but there is an underlying psychological issue to addiction - which is escaping the current reality - which makes me think, I need to then change my reality if I am that unhappy (which I am).
Thank you for your reply and your support x
