At least 6 years of deep psychic addiction

[paperlantern2]

Hi everyone,
I am a high-functioning person and otherwise successful but my psychic addiction is unspeakably intense, truly beyond my ability to convey.
It has been a few years now that I realized it would help me to write a book about it. I tried in 2021 but wasn't ready until now.

It would mean a lot to me to get encouragement from this community. I will be posting some snippets here: https://hex-addict.blogspot.com/
And my first post is here: https://hex-addict.blogspot.com/2024/12/first-post.html

I think the name of my book will be Hex Addict. Please share thoughts here if you are a psychic addict like me and would like to request something from the book, like addiction resources. I am a researcher in my normal job and plan to do something to help us through this book project.

So glad to hear you’re doing this. I am definitely interested in following along your project. I think one of the things that people assume is that it is only people who are missing relationship satisfaction in their lives. Or that it’s loneliness that is the root cause. Or that if only someone had xyz relationships and support in their lives they wouldn’t get readings. But what I definitely think should also be brought up is that there are other contributing factors. Anxiety in general is my biggest one. Doesn’t matter how many people are in my life or want to support me. I think I have a root anxiety issue that I probably need to address. It’s so much like gambling addiction or shopping addiction I think - except our “reward” is supposed knowledge of what the future holds. Or trying to find that one person who is actually going to be consistently right. That one person we can prove without a doubt and say conclusively yes this exists.

Because part of my driver too is that desire to prove that it exists. That not every single one of them are liars and frauds. Something in me has this compulsion to either prove it - and at the same time call out and somehow bring to attention the people that ARE frauds and scammers. I am also a tarot reader myself. And I have had incredibly valuable and transformative experiences and also given readings to others that they have said are helpful. So it makes me angry when I see this beautiful art form destroyed in a way. Because I appreciate it as almost an artistic talent to be able to read for others. And I don’t think it should be used for divination but more for self discovery.

Anyway. Those are a few of my thoughts. It’s not all about just wanting to know if someone is the love of your life or whatever.

Unfortunately for me it is a mask for a bit of an empty feeling - not always loneliness -  just an empty feeling (maybe I need to find my purpose!) I will say there is a dopamine effect when you connect with someone that just wants to listen and seems to have a solution - unlike in therapy where sometimes they talk in circles trying to get you to realize how to solve for a problem and after a while you realize you’re not getting far with some therapists (not all of them are good). It’s just the reassurance sometimes of that things are going to be ok.

Spirituality is interesting.

Unfortunately my path has led me to realizing there are people that are gifted but they’re not always correct - in fact, unless it’s a highly sought reader - they’re likely wrong. Small hits here and there don’t do much for me anymore. I’m glad I came to this realization but it was an expensive path there and I wish I hadn’t gone down it in retrospect.

I think your project sounds like it will help people and also cathartic - I wish you the best.
