Anyone up for one week pause?
LucyDiamond:
How is everybody doing? I have had a *drumroll* month pause from readings! I am thrilled but some things have been happening at work and with POI and I am getting that urge again. I am pleased to say a month off is a really big deal for me though.

Yeah I called and felt so depressed. Still am, worried that I’ll alway be this way. What I heard too wasn’t even in my favor nor satisfying...
So again. Tomorrow? Do I try? I heard this saying for every hundred times we fall you get up another thousand more times... and I know that part is true, but for now I kinda want to stay down before I think of even getting up again

Congrats on making it that long. Is your goal to be totally reading free? What were the circumstances of your call?
For me, I don't want to completely stop readings. I just don't want to binge anymore or call new readers (which is usually part of a binge for me). There are a couple of readers who I feel add value to my life, and I'm not ready to completely stop reading with them.
I've drastically reduced the calls and feel OK with it right now. I mostly just don't like feeling out of control and like I HAVE to call.

I agree with russianred.. Its ok to get a reading once in a while but binging is really a problem. Binging is more of losing control of ourselves and the situation and we end up trying different readers and blowing up money. More readings adds more confusion and does mess up with our head.

For me, I was using readings to manage my anxiety. I was spending so much money every month and that was adding to my anxiety. I have decided that I will plan my readings in advance (once a month) like I would plan a trip to the salon or something. That way, I know that they are there to look forward to. I have my favorite psychic and will be sticking to them only. That can be tricky because I will read about someone here and want to try them. However, I have my go-to and it makes sense to keep it consistent as I am happy with her.

You have a great point about how the money spent just adds to anxiety. I am at the point where I feel such anxiety over every little decision I make in my relationship unless I consult with a reader. I can't function like this and need to believe in myself and my ability to make decisions more!
Today I only left two readers in my favorites (one who I feel genuinely helps me to put things in proper perspective without sugarcoating, one who I feel is genuinely gifted) and am not looking through the listings.
