Powers, witches, etc

So I was raised performing spells, doing readings, using crystals and practicing reiki. I can go into detail on things I specifically can do or do perform, but wont unless you ask. Soooo with that in mind, is this false, magical thinking/hallucination/delusion. Or is this religion?

Since you were raised doing it, and it sounds similar to religions like Wicca and Paganism, then it would probably be considered religion rather than psychosis.
Though, if you are experiencing any form of hallucination, including seeing demons, hearing voices etc. that is something you need to talk about with a professional. Also, if you are experiencing any delusions besides this, like thinking people are trying to hurt you, or that things like billboards or advertisements are sending messages specifically for you, then that is also something you need to talk about with a professional.

If it's limited to just a religion that's less common where you live, then I wouldn't be too concerned. But if there are other elements that show you're delusional and/or are experiencing hallucinations then you should seek professional help.

Do you see or hear anything when you perform spells?

No. I have in the past (when I was young) but sparingly. I do feel like I MAY have some delusions, but they could be normal beliefs. and I'm making them into an obsession/delusion. Yeah my mom was Pagan.

I hear things but they are more like noises/sounds versus words or commentary. Or like ill think my husband or some one said something to me and Ill be like "what did you say?" or "what?" and they didnt say anything.

My husband says "crystals dont have powers and you arent psychic/cant be telepathic/dont control nature, etc" soo idk. I experience a lot of deja vu as well. Like almost daily or multiple times a day

It's not a lie it's real they want you to think otherwise so you belive humans are incapable of doing things for them selves like the bloated population of doctors that tell us we can't be more than just nothing than just a regular human with no soul with no mind with only a robotic sate of falce security

ive experienced several things that let me know our connection with the unknown exists and can be very dangerous to us if we dont know how to handle it correctly.

after that i fully believe in beings or ..something..that knows and exploits us using a supernatural like thing.

I agree. Ive been around it so long I dont mess with certain tthings. Ive never had anyone trll me Im crazy because of it but ive never told any psycys or therapists either.

I believe in the power of crysta ls and I understand to some people they dont gave power
I don' t think that makes it a delusion, though To me, a delusion is a belief that can be proven flase but is still believed
No one can disprove the power of crystals or the existence of spirits or performing spells

I know that. Just wasnt sure if its considered magical thinking if lets say it started randomly in life.

i don't know too much psychologt to know if is magical thinking or not.
Maybe you can talk with a professional?

I thought magical thinking was like, religious things or related to grieving but i don't know

I would like to know the same thing!!! Sounds like me

Really? Ive been in therapy for years and on more than 30 meds. But j still think yhay way

i have magical thinking rly bad. for me its thinking i can control reality with the way i think about things. its not necessarily about religion or anything specific.

That's how I feel. Sort of. Idk what you mean by control reality but like controlling nature/weather/etc.

for example sometimes i believe if i think about something thats going to happen i can control the outcome because of how i think about it. like, if i want to have a good day at work i think i will have a bad day at work over and over again to control the reality of how the day will go. so if i think i will have a bad day then i will have a good day. its hard to explain and i know its bizarre but i cant stop doing it.

also i feel like the universe sends me signals and signs to let me know if something is going to happen.

I agree with the last part. I know it does. I figure things out before others do, generally.

It's entirely dependent on culture....if you're learning it from other people its ok, if you're making up your own religion it's not ok. I have asked my psychiatrist about it and he thought psychics while he didn't belive in them were culturally appropriate.

Oh okay. This is all confusing. I hate my brain

I would encourage you to see a neurologist about the de ja vu. It is a classic symptom of a seizure type called 'simple partial seizures'. They usually last less than 30 seconds.. up to a couple of min. They can happen several times a day but usually come out of no where. These seizures do not cause loss of consciousness. The de ja vu you experience may or may not be simple partial seizures... but it might be worth checking out because simple partial seizures have a variety of symptoms that can be misdiagnosed as psychiatric in nature.

And checking out whether it is seizure might be especially important because it sounds like you have tried a lot of psychiatric meds that haven't helped.

Ive been getting the deja vu for years and it usually lasts a couple hours to a full day.

I also remember them. If someone were to ask me I could tell them.

Is it experiencing a single 'I've been here before" type thing that lasts for hours... or is it several short ones that happen repeatedly over an hour's time?

And if its a simple partial seizure... you would remember it. Its worth checking out with a neurologist tho, just to rule it out as a seizure. You seem to have them often enough that it might be easy to capture it on an EEG.

Its one entire thing. Like a having the same dream youve had before. It all plays out together. Not repetition
