I have an unhealthy obsession with tarot. Pls how do I overcome this addiction.

Im addicted to tarot. I started doing tarot readings when I was 18 and it was very accurate predicated a lot of things that came true. Not only in my life but my friends and family because of this I became so dependent on tarot. I would do readings daily, about everything and anything I couldnā€™t make a move without consulting my cards. It would tell me exactly how a person feels about me and it was very accurate. I canā€™t even express how creeply accurate it was. As time went on I realized that it was extremely unhealthy. If I got into a fight with my partner I would instantly go to my cards. I valued my cards opinions over my partners. It became manipulative I would see the outcome of all the different possibilities I could take and then act out on it. Everything became calculated. It got to the point where I would do readings all day long about all these possibilities.

Iā€™ve gotten rid of my tarot cards and Iā€™m extremely happier. Iā€™m way closer to Jesus than I was before, Iā€™m at peace, abundant, I make decisions that are best for me and not the best ā€œoutcomeā€ and Iā€™ve seen a lot of positive changes in my life.

But now that Iā€™ve started dating someone new of 4 months. the addiction has started again. I look at tarot posts day and night, I wait for new post to come to fuel this feeling. Itā€™s ruining my relationship because I donā€™t trust my partner, yes some things are questionable that he does but Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s because I truly feel this way or itā€™s because Iā€™ve seen one to many readings that he might be cheating, have other options and them telling me Iā€™m ignoring the red flags. I feel absolutely crazy. I delete the apps and after a few hours I download them back and see what they state and every time I see a positive reading itā€™s a hit of relaxation but if itā€™s negative Iā€™m filled with anxiety and rage. I know these readings are just general and on a deeper level I know they probably donā€™t even apply to me at all but I canā€™t stop. Please help.

I have gotten rid of my deck because I just donā€™t think itā€™s healthy for me. Itā€™s very helpful! And thatā€™s how my addiction started but itā€™s not healthy for me.

I struggle with other readers predictions. Does this still apply to the fear based perspective? My biggest problem is I feel if I donā€™t look at it constantly they wonā€™t pick up on my energy or what if I miss out on valuable information. šŸ˜‚ I know it sounds so crazy but this is genuinely driving me nuts.

No youā€™re completely right and I take no judgement in what you say. I think I need to focus on developing hobbies I find interesting.

I notice that my intuition is stronger when I believe in myself and apply Jesus word into my life. The day I stopped doing tarot. I noticed all the things I was manifesting started coming in immediately it was shocking. Tarot weakens me. Itā€™s a safe place for my anxieties, fears, doubts and Iā€™m done with it. Thanks for all your responses and help

I communicate with him lots. But itā€™s not enough, I always think what if heā€™s hidden something or not being transparent. I genuinely need to work on my trust issues and therapy is something I plan to start as well but i know therapy wonā€™t work unless I get rid of my limiting habits. Like tarot. Thatā€™s why Iā€™m hoping to get advise to help me overcome it. I think the hobbies thing is something I need to focus more on. Do anything expect tarot

Hi thank you for your input! Iā€™m curious why you think Jesus is the source of my worry? Iā€™ve never thought of that before. I always thought it was the opposite. Jesus teaches me that all things are okay, life is a journey and his teaches help me develop my character and strength. Ive notice when I apply his teachings into my life. The things I desire and manifest come to me rapidly. Iā€™m my happiest when Iā€™m focused on Jesus way of living.

Yes youā€™re right. I do have a worry about being certain but itā€™s deeper it stems from pain, Iā€™m scared of feeling deeply hurt again, and I try to be certain to avoid that pain. I think thatā€™s why I love Jesus. He teaches me that life is uncertain and thatā€™s the beauty of it. I will be hurt again but it is okay, the hurt was never my fault or my cross to bear but even though it might come, he has made me stronger than the hurt.

my partner is a little closed off emotionally. Heā€™s not very expressive and he has voiced thatā€™s who he is and his kids express his level of monotonous personality. Heā€™s not a bad guy. He has a good heart and he tries. Iā€™m just not used to that kind of person but Iā€™m learning to be flexible.

But then Iā€™ll go online and see readings saying. Donā€™t trust him. Heā€™s being sneaky, heā€™s hiding the truth and I get so anxious if it applies to me. Iā€™ll try to ignore it and Iā€™ll see another post saying youā€™re ignoring your intuition. The red flags are in front of you and I start to panic and Iā€™ll be inquisitive and confront him and he will tell me Iā€™m obsessed with catching him lying and act more distant which makes me feel even crazier. If it wasnā€™t for tarot I wouldnā€™t have this aggravating fear.

Thank you. Iā€™m going to turn off my phone for 24 hours and just process my thoughts without forcing or judging myself. I want to live in the moment. I just struggle to do so :(

I know. Youā€™re 100% right. I donā€™t want to participate in tarot because Iā€™m aware of the damage itā€™s doing. Iā€™m aware of my life being better without it. I feel more level headed. Capable and trusting. But Iā€™m addicted. Iā€™m struggling to turn away from it. Hence why I needed help :/

Thank you so much! Youā€™re 100% right. I would love to check out your work

If Iā€™m being honest idk what youā€™re talking about. I donā€™t think it really makes sense. Itā€™s cool and interesting thatā€™s your belief and I hope it prospers you. But on a personal level I disagree. I canā€™t speak for everyone but I can speak for myself.

You say Jesus only gives you little and itā€™s yourself that gives you all but thatā€™s just not true in my life. I usually try to do things on my own. Using divination, tarot, astrology and Iā€™ve noticed the only thing it did was make me desperate and anxious af.

I was struggling to find a job for 4 months and eventually I was like just pray about it. Take it to Jesus and literally the next day I got 12 job interviews. Lmfao like 12 jobs contacted me in one day? All because I prayed for Jesus to help me? Thatā€™s the only thing I did differently From getting 0 call backs to 12. Itā€™s a drastic change you canā€™t overlook.

I was going to get expellled from nursing school for something I didnā€™t do, I appealed, I wrote thousands of emails. I genuinely thought I would get expelled. The last day aug 18th Iā€™ll never forget that day. They let me know theyā€™re just waiting for the nurse to sign the paperwork and Iā€™m kicked out. I got on my knees and I prayed, I begged God to help me from the bottom of my soul and I finally slept after 48 hours. I kid you not. 1 hour after I prayed. She emailed saying she changed her and she doesnā€™t want to sign it. AFTER A WHOLE MONTH OF FIGHTING FOR MYSELF. I submit to God and he changes my life. Why she changed her mind randomly on the last hour. Who knows but I know it was God

This is just two of many. Iā€™m thankful for Jesus because he made me feel loved. When no one else cared to listen to me. He made me feel worthy and a person thatā€™s kind to you is worthy of praise and being loved back. Jesus has never once made me feel bad about myself. Every time I feel bad for my actions he says youā€™re human, he understands.

The best part of having a relationship with Jesus is he doesnā€™t just tell you to praise him and leaves you suffering. He helped me grow into a woman when integrity. He chooses you first, and wants to be chosen back and I think thatā€™s the cutest thing in the world. A God that is all powerful and the only thing he really wants is to be loved back. Itā€™s so sweet and genuine.

Iā€™m Not really concerned about heaven or hell or whatever those Christianā€™s believe because I donā€™t really know what that even means. I care more about what I see, and feel presently and on earth and its love.Jesus tells me to focus on love and focusing on it is the best thing Iā€™ve ever done and will continue to learn from a kind soul. Iā€™m sorry you donā€™t feel the same. I hope you find your own happiness like Iā€™ve found mine
