Hi /x/. I'm interested in adopting a haunted doll for companionship, but I'm not sure where to start or even if it's a good fit yet. I'm 23 f and I struggle with loneliness, PTSD and lupus. I have tried pets in the past, but I just can't take care of a dog or a cat. Too much energy and whatnot. I also feel like I struggle to connect with other people, my therapist says it's because of my complex ptsd. I'm somewhat familiar with the supernatural, I've been interested in spirits since teenhood. Ive been getting pretty invested in haunted dolls, as I had a family member growing up who had a few in her possession. I just wonder sometimes if Maybe Instead of adopting a cat or dog, I could adopt a small haunted doll. Any advice or concerns I should be aware of/research deeper before I really get serious about this?
>>42345119it's a complex pathif you could leave any contact info ill be glad to reach out and explain farther but its too much to drop in a message here
when I was little a poltergeist made a doll walk into the room I was in, trust me you don't wanna live with that sort of freaky shit
just get a plant, be a green witch
>>42345119Wouldn't a regular doll be enough? Why do you need to open yourself to spiritual terrorism?
>>42345119I got one on Etsy. It might be legit but I am honestly not 100% sure. You need extremely good clairsenses for it to be worthwhile.
>>42345119Holy shit I love you OP.Have a friendly bump because I love these cutie dolls and I'm also interested if I can have them as friends
>>42345119I really want you to find a helpful companion, so unless you're spiritually prepared, I recommend you don't get a haunted doll since most of them are full of negative emotions and trauma. Do not befriend ghosts at all.>>42347582This is wonderful advice.
>>42345119Hey OP, I'm a male with cPTSD too, I understand why you are drawn to this sort of thing. It's because when you have had PTSD since childhood, you don't quite feel living nor dead by adulthood, something else, more like a ghost than a human. And you would also trust a ghost over a human any day of the week, right? Since ghosts never wronged you, living humans did. (Read a fun webcomic called Ghost-Teller by the way. It's about a group of ghosts who sit by a campfire to tell scary 'human' stories, tales of humans who did psychopathic cruel abusive shit.)I don't think you will get much out of ghost dolls if I am honest. The ghost won't be interested in harassing you. I don't know if you have ever seen a ghost, I have only once in my room. It didn't bother me, it just stood in front of my bed at 3am and stared at me and swayed its head side to side. The vibe wasn't even malicious or evil, it was just curious then vanished. I fell asleep without caring one way or the other. I guess what I am trying to say is, ghosts can't help you for companionship. If you happen to meet a ghost, try to learn who it used to be and pray for its soul but that's all. Wish the ghost a good afterlife and respect it and move on.For company, you will need a human. And if you want to truly heal the cPTSD, become a parent. Children don't automatically fix your life, but when you watch yourself give a good childhood to another soul, the kind you never had, it heals you.
>>42348965>I recommend you don't get a haunted doll since most of them are full of negative emotions and trauma. Do not befriend ghosts at all.Not OP but that's why ghosts don't bother me and I don't bother ghosts. It's possible to become a ghost in a human body, it's called PTSD lol. When you become full of negative emotion and trauma, you have a lot in common with ghosts. And ghosts pick up on it and don't harass you.If someone is being haunted by a ghost, I am willing to believe there's a reason for it. Yes I am blaming the victims of hauntings, because spirits of vengeance will only seek vengeance against people who remind them of something wicked.

>>42349342>It didn't bother me, it just stood in front of my bed at 3am and stared at me and swayed its head side to side.That's called sleep paralysis.>And if you want to truly heal the cPTSD, become a parent.No. Procreating while having severe unresolved psychological issues is the most stupid, the most irresponsible, the most obliviously cruel and overall the worst decision one can make. Same about procreating while being poor af.This is one the main reasons for most societal problems in fact.Notice how OP even said that she "just can't take care of a dog or a cat" and is obviously self-aware about it, and yet you still suggest getting and raising children which is an incomparably more demanding task.>Children don't automatically fix your life, but when you watch yourself give a good childhood to another soul, the kind you never had, it heals you.This is a lie. Even if you manage to do that to begin with and nothing goes awry (it usually does), chances are you'll end up more neurotic than ever before in the end. Enough examples all around.All you've demonstrated with that take is a typical boomer NPC complacency full of virtue-signalling smugness. Gross.
>>42349432>That's called sleep paralysis.I was fully awake and hadn't gone to sleep at that time yet. >No. Procreating while having severe unresolved psychological issues is the most stupid, the most irresponsible, the most obliviously cruel and overall the worst decision one can make. Same about procreating while being poor af.You wouldn't know, you have not made any such decision for yourself. >Notice how OP even said that she "just can't take care of a dog or a cat" and is obviously self-aware about it, and yet you still suggest getting and raising children which is an incomparably more demanding task.I've raised my own perfectly fine, it was difficult yes but it is difficult for everyone. And if you claim the contrary I will instantly presume you are childless. OP does not know her own capabilities, which is par for the course for PTSD. I am telling her she is more capable than she thinks. I have faith in her.>This is a lie. Even if you manage to do that to begin with and nothing goes awry (it usually does), chances are you'll end up more neurotic than ever before in the end. Enough examples all around.You talk a lot about experiences you've never had. >All you've demonstrated with that take is a typical boomer NPC complacency full of virtue-signalling smugness. Gross.Forgive your father or something. It's not my problem that you dislike your own parents
>>42345119Please make the attempt to love real people, if any of the shit I have been seeing and hearing has been true they want to love us even if they have to send a trojan horse. Don't play with dolls if you don't have to, being a plaything is not fun for anyone involved.
>>42349460And never forget to love the horse you ride reality in, in a caring, gentle way that does not cause unnecessary distress. It is important to look a gift horse in the maw so that you will see anything out of place and it is important to understand the function of your and your horses engine. As The Rider you have a responsibility to never abuse The Horse, unnecessarily or/and unneededly. Please Drive safe.
>>42345119I think it's pretty fucked up to buy or keep a haunted doll for any purpose other than trying to cleanse it or help the spirit move on.
>>42345119don't lean into your problem, it'll only get worsetake steps to heal your PTSD. Fuck with maligned spirits and you'll fall deeper into despair>Too much energy and whatnotWhen you love something, the work is effortless
>>42349506>When you love something, the work is effortlessThank you, that's exactly right. What this anon: >>42349432Can't understand. Because it would require loving someone more than the sound of his own voice.
>>42349451>You wouldn't know, you have not made any such decision for yourself.>You talk a lot about experiences you've never had."you have to taste shit to know it's shit">I've raised my own perfectly fineHave you asked them?>And if you claim the contrary I will instantly presume you are childless.Ofc, after all I'm not a stupid pretend-religious breeder with a holier-than-thou attitude. And capable of learning from observation instead of blindly following social conventions and physical urges.>OP does not know her own capabilities, which is par for the course for PTSD. I am telling her she is more capable than she thinks.And of course you know her capabilities more than she does. The fucking christcuck boomer hubris as usual.>I have faith in her.No, you only have faith in your glorified "life experience" and smug worthless advice.>hello i am have psychological problems and have troubles connecting with people>hey there how about you go get pregnant bitch^that's you right there
>>42349492Never thought about this but you're right. Forcing "someone" to "stay" sounds weird as fuck
