Just to set this up: I work in a very christian hospital, like we have some guy come every year that you have to be catholic to meet and he gets gifts from every department, however I am not catholic. Other than studying witchcraft and earth/fae, I dont study or practice or worship anything else.
Lately, things have seem to be getting worse, I can'tconcentrate, it feels like my depression has gotten worse especially the last 2 days, people are irritating me easier, and I've felt almost sick since friday.
I'm not sure what to do to help this and stress from work keeps pouring into home life. I can't afford to get a different job with the pay I get here. With holidays coming up, theres not many days my managers still have open for taking letting anyone take time off.
Does anyone know of any spells or affirmations or charms that could possibly help through this?
Even to just clear my mind to make it throughfor now.
Thanks :)
Ooof. That sounds really rough. I dont really know of any specific spells, but I take a lot of baths with salts and herbs when Im under stress from sources I cant control. If there'sany chance you can get your hands on some marigolds tgey are my personal favorite bath additive. The corresponces dont make much sense, but they feel uplifting to me. Another thought though, are you sure you couldnt meditate on the possibility of using magic to try and manifest a better work situation? I know no one wants to jump jobs without a sure replacement, but it sounds like long term your hearg is telling you there is going to be something better for you out there. Id make my long term goal be speeding up the arrival of a new opportunity. Being the only non-christian in a Christian workplace is toxic. You arent part of the club, at least in my experience, this had lead to being assigned the worst shifts, being forced to cover for others, who will not cover for you, and a general sense of disconnect that leads to mistreatment. Your stress level is so valid, and I hopesomeone here has a bettwr short term fix for you.
Thank you, luckily I have a day off tomorrow. I have a lavender bath salt mix, I don't remember hat else is in it, but I got from a gathering I went to, I think I will try soaking in that tonight or tomorrow.
My condolences! Im not too versed in spells yet, I work a lot in herbs and such. But I do have some things that might help you:
#1 Tarot Cards. Tarot cards are easy tools able to guide you with your life, magics, strengths, weaknesses, situations, and relationships. My favorite way of doing it is to shuffle a deck with imagery of the intention of your question flowing into the deck, even soaking it up. Then drawing in a layout of your choice. One I think would currently help is: What will help in this situation (For you, more specifically, the situation with your job) furthest left- past (what you need to overcome/bring back into your life) middle-present(what will help/is hindering you now) right-future(Ehat the future holds/upcoming problems to be aware of)

Blessings to you, stay strong, and know youre a witch for a reason- you cannot be beat. You have power within yourself, over yourself. But please, always ask for help when you need it. Theres no shame in humbleness and lack of hope.
You have my sympathy -- I know far too well what it's like to be surrounded by people at work who... let's say don't share your enthusiasm for a particular subject. <:-\ I've had some luck with a very simple bit of spellwork when I really felt like I was getting stomped on. I'll make sure I'm working in a clean(ish) spot where it's safe to have a flame. I center & ground, calm my mind (sometimes the hardest part!), and light a candle (usually white) while concentrating on a feeling of peace. I'll then sit quietly in front of the burning candle, eyes open or closed as feels appropriate, and send out a mental request to the universe for some of the energy I'm missing that I can use to deal with depression and/or emotional exhaustion. I usually use chime candles that can burn for half an hour or more so it's not unusual for me to snuff the candle out at any time when I feel like the universe has sent me at least a useful amount of the energy I'm needing, be it 5 or 50 minutes later. (Remember to give thanks before extinguishing the flame.)
Thank you all for the wonderful advice and help! :) it means soo much to be able to have somewhere where theres people willing to help. I cleaned up my altar area and started spending more time there, relaxing and visualizing a better mindset. I've also gotten back into baking more (even though I'm trying to loose weight 😅) it helps me feel better and I feel I get alot of positive engery while messing with foods. I bought a necklace with a triquatra and moon and charmed it to help ground and for clarity. It has really helped alot and I can wear it to work with no issue because it is long enough to go in my scrub top. I was able to get a few random days spread out off, thanks to a nice sit down with my direct manager. I also was able to get out of my head and talk to my husband about everything and my best friend. They are super supportive of everything and loved the suggestions here! They also want to help celebrate the holidays with me and wanted to make sure I have everything for anything I could possibly want to do. 😊
Thank you guys! You all are wonderful souls!!
