How I’m Learning to Help Myself
I was about 19 when I started to really put together that I was mentally ill and all the words thrown at me started to make sense. However, I kind of just left it at that. The things going in with me had names and now I could put a word with my actions. They kind of just became a crutch. I’m doing this because I have this or that, but there was no action. I kind of just let everything fester, and didn’t have any proper self soothing or help techniques. I was vehemently opposed to taking medication, and looking back I’m not sure I had any valid reason to be so opposed. Perhaps it was the stigma of being labeled “crazy” but I absolutely refused to get medicated or go to therapy regularly. I turned to hard drugs even at one point, struggling for years with them even. I was definitely using everything but actual help to help myself.

Spirit Dice & The Spectrum
The first time I personally learned about spirit dice was in the film Insidious 2. One of the characters, Carl, used spirit dice to communicate with spirits and get answers. Insidious 2 is one of my favorite horror films, and the more I watched it, the more intrigued I became with Carl and his spirit dice.
