Potpourri Boards > Addicted to Psychics
Kicking the habit
Carmicsa:
Hello all! I’m new to the forum, I’ve been lurking (for psychics) and have not really commented. I am addicted to calling psychics and have wasted thousands of dollars on people that may or may not have some insight into our situations. It is my fear of being taken advantage of that started my spiral down the rabbit hole of using these sites. After having 4 negative readings yesterday (one from Nicole4sees: saying he’s with another woman and we don’t have a future together) I decided to close
All of my accounts. After having a reading, I Usually ended up feeling more anxious and out of control than if I hadn’t called. I’ve also realized that due to the anxiety from a reading; it’s highly likely that I would cause a negative outcome to happen (trying to stop it from happening). I’m glad to have found this forum to share my story and vent.

Take some time to go through some threads on this sub-forum along with the "Vent" forum. I found it helpful to read posts from people who have gone through the same thing.
How long have you been calling psychics? For me, it was something that took over my life and finances (yes, thousands of dollars, like you) for about 2-3 months. I recently transferred some of the charges to a 0% APR card which I will pay off over the next few months. I'm still averaging about one reading per week but that's nothing compared to how I would sometimes spend almost $500 in a day on a binge.
Yes, I agree that readings just feed the anxiety and don't soothe it.

I started back in 2014 when I was dealing with an narcissistic asshole. I stopped for a while then I started back because I no longer trust myself to pick a decent man. I can spend close to 1k a month. I’m trying to pay off credit card debt as well (I use my checking account to pay for my readings. I have a shopping habit too lol). I’ve been reading quite a few of the forums and they’ve been helpful. I set up one last reading with Yona but I’ve decided not to contact anyone else until then.
