Forming a Real Psychic Addict Real-time Support Group

[artsygirlms]

I am in serious trouble. My addiction has ruined my finances. I am bipolar, and I am stable. I’ll be honest, I have a handful of psychics that are very accurate & do help me. The problem is I’ll go on Purple Garden waiting on them and go on a manic binge. It’s out of control & I need serious help. I don’t think weekly counseling is going to help me. I have done recovery meetings for all types of addicts before & have access to daily meetings, but I have never admitted my addiction is financial ruin by calling psychics.

I am downloading slack right now. If I start a slack group where we can chat and connect in real-time would anyone like to join? I really need a community of support without judgement. We can work it like a 12 step program. I have a psychic recovery workbook that we can work through too. It’s actually great, but I haven’t done it because I can’t hold myself accountable .

I really hope someone joins me. I’m so addicted to this because there is no support out there & I feel so much shame.

I am in a similar position in that I can’t afford any more readings. I hope the Slack chat helps.

It occurred to me that I have believed in psychics because I am intuitive myself. I have gut feelings that things will happen and I have phoned psychics to confirm they will come true or to give me hope. This article is about psychic addiction and using our own intuition https://tinybuddha.com/blog/how-i-overcame-my-psychic-addiction-and-stopped-giving-my-power-away/

Might be worth a read

I’ve limited my card so that I can only spend $100 a month on any hotline without prior approval. It sucks so bad as I want to continue to binge, but why? For what? Have we not noticed that they tell us what we want to hear or ruminate what we tell them? Unfortunate ly we all tell them more then we should at times I’m sure. I know I do! I am currently going thru a divorce, which I do not want, my employment is being shut down on the 21st and basically my life is in complete shambles and I am paying off my debts I’ve incurred during my binges. When is enough enough? We are all stuck wanting to know the unknown. God is the only one that knows. No psychic knows anything for certain. I have page after page after page of notes, and what do they get me? The urge to call for more. It’s a sad addiction and I am a recovering alcoholic and gambler. Addictions are real. I am embarrassed to admit it but it’s true. Life’s hard and these psychics make it worse. Not blaming them as I do feel that a very small few truly do have a gift, but free will is ALWAYS in play. Whether ours or someone else. So no psychic no matter how good they are are 100% accurate. I pray for us all and pray we can stop the addiction. And I say we as I am still infatuated with them even though I can only spend $100 a month currently.

I try I just keep getting kicked when I’m down. 44 years old going thru second divorce (never doing that EVER again) job being forced to close and an addict. An addict to whatever isn’t good for us. Whether it be alcohol, cigarettes, gambling, sex, psychics it doesn’t matter. Still not drinking and have not intention to, no gambling as that was tied to drinking I believe, quit smoking but started again do to the upcoming news of my job being shut down, and sex? I don’t even remember what that is so I safe there I guess. Haha. I am a good person with a huge heart and unfortunate ly I always give it all away. That’s my fault. No one else’s. And psychics , well that’s another story. I’ve done well and stopped. It got me nothing but wanting more. More readings more **** that I have to admit probably isn’t going to happen. At least not anytime in the near future. If I were a psychic I’d try and concentrate on a month at a time, since I am not a psychic I have no idea what or why they see things. Nor honestly at this point do I care. I am ready to move from the northeast of the United States. Ready for somewhere warmer with hopefully more opportuniti es. Is it going to happen? Who knows. As stated I’ve lived here or existed here for 44 years and I’m ready for a change. I’m hard on myself because I am a giver and never the receiver. I give my everything to anyone that needs help. If I had a $100 bill in my pocket and you needed $150 I’d borrow the $50 from someone to give to you. That’s just how I am. So I beat myself up all the time. I truly do believe everything happens for a reason and maybe just maybe this is my sign to get the hell out of here and try somewhere new. What’s the worst that’s going to happen? I fail? I could but I’ll never know if I don’t try. I’m ready for new town new me.first things first I need to find work which shouldn’t be hard except I’m used to making a lot of money. That might be difficult but time will tell.

Hello all! I just created this account after lurking on the forums for the last month or so, and honestly, reading through everyone’s experiences has really helped lift the veil from my eyes.

I’ve always known that I tend to go on psychic addiction binges whenever I’m going through something difficult, but I genuinely believed that some of these psychics cared about me. I think this forum has finally made me realize that at the end of the day, they don’t know me personally, and I have to stop treating these readings like they do.

I actually just looked at my credit card debt and realized I’ve racked up around $30,000 from psychic readings. I feel so ashamed even typing that. Now all I can think about is working as hard as I can to pay it off.

The craziest part is that this isn’t even the first time I’ve done this. I racked up similar debt back in 2017 and had to take out a personal loan to pay it off. I promised myself I would never do it again, only to fall into the same cycle with a new situation in 2020. I eventually paid that off too, and now here I am again. I think this is the most debt I’ve ever accumulated from readings, and seeing that number was a huge wake-up call.

I would love to make my own post and share more of my experiences, but for some reason I’m not able to create a new topic yet, so for now I’ll probably just be replying to different threads.

I’ve been reading so many of your stories, and as difficult as it is to admit how bad this has gotten for me, I’m really glad I found this forum and realized I’m not the only person who has gotten caught in this cycle.

You can see people legit spiraling on here.

My guess is this site is still being updated.

Also this was really well written.
You literally described a trauma cycle response… most ppl don’t even realize it. That is really commendable .

I hope you can continue.

I saw this TikTok and it seemed to fit this post. Or well I resonate with it/projected (😂). I’ve slipped but literally my daily homework is to go thru my day name my feelings and ask myself how I can be kinder, trusting, respectful, confident. I got this from a book “the six pillars of self esteem” and it’s helped me paused and realized the biggest validation I “needed” was to give myself to permission feel what I feel and be ok with it. I’m still working thru it, I erased a lot of post so I know I come off hateful. Yet I kinda I see which ppl are also in their trauma response but whatever at the end of the day ppl are responsible for themselves and this is the internet. At some point you gotta go outside and step barefoot on some grass… unless you’re in suburbs and there’s glass. My point is ppl gotta take their moments outside of here and not take everything so literal, or so serious.

Read some of the post and I don't think people are intending to sound judgmental or criticize others for what they been through. I think some of us who have legit been there are trying to give feedback.
Over the years I've learned that
1) no amount of readers telling you the same thing that could determine the accuracy of a prediction.
2) a higher paid psychic doesn't equal to a more accurate prediction.
3) a correct prediction on an event doesn't mean that reader will always provide an accurate reading

Readers read energies but we can't determine who's energy they are picking up and when something will happen (and if it will even happen). These are evident from people who responded reporting back that a prediction where a detailed description of an event occurred several years later. We're literally gambling when getting reading whether a certain prediction will happen. Some readers work better for others while some don't.

But ultimately it's really about asking yourself about how you cope when a stressful event happens. Some binge on food, some binge on other things like this.. psychic readings. A long time ago when I used to get reading, someone told me that energy goes where your focus is and that's why readings are not definitive. I've been there and when I thought I quit.. I went back.

For those trying to quit, maybe switching the 'psychic addiction' for something else and figuring out coping strategies that would rather benefit you when something challenging comes up.
