i can get so close to the void state but every time i get scared to get what I want and stop. it's so frustrating to be so attached to being depressed but wanting more than anything for it to disappear. i just want my own money, somewhere to live, and for the world to not be shit.

this one time I listened to some "last state" subliminal (I think? I don't remember but it was a really underrated subliminal) it was basically being able to manifest anything and the next morning I had to study for an exam, so I was studying and I was soo tired of all the studying that before I flipped the pages to check how long the chapter I was reading is, I just kept and kept repeating that there's only five pages. Only five pages. Only five pages. And I turned and counted, and it was only five pages 😭😭😭😭😭 i WAS SO HAPPY idk if it counts as a reality shift cuz I remember their was another page after that but it isn't there anymore. It felt like I had written the book myself.

what upsets me about this is a lot of nasty and superior "master shifters" are very often exposed to be liars, but only after months of acting superior, belittling people and bragging that shifting is oh so easy and if you can't do it you're just a dumb useless bitch who isn't trying hard enough. if I see people giving "tough love" its an instant block for me.

person with the dsmp dr... that's cool asf! so do I! I will confess sometimes I'm scared people will find me cringe, but it's our DRs! we can do anything we want!

Recently i got really close to shifting

The short version of it is that i was trying to shift to my dsmp dr(yeah, yeah. 2026 and whatever), and at one point i was just trying to focus on the feeling of the snow when i started gearing a faint abel sister theme

Actually im too tired to give you the long version so just take that

Regarding that one ask whether it's weird to shift as their daughter. I'm in a similar situation where I have a sister in my dr whos love interest is a guy I also kinda have a crush on. But I'm monogamous so I don't wanna date both of them or interfere with their life so I thought about shifting as my sister, just to see and experience her life (if that makes sense)

I never thought it was that weird but now... maybe yes? Someone pls help lol

Yes but they're the same pets that I have in this reality and every reality. I script my CR cats into every reality because I love my babies and I can't imagine being in a reality without them

there’s a part of me who is so incredibly devastated that once i shift to my main dr, the contents to it will never be the same.

my main dr is a show that i grew up with, a literal decade, and i am obsessed with it, having merchandise plastered all over my room, & it’s sparked so many of my interests, making me who i am today,

once i shift i wont see the characters the same, the place the same, anything !! i mean, they’ll literally all be my friends, teachers, family. i’ll live there, i’ll have my own life there.

it’s such a surreal thing to think about.

As a kid i was always watching those silly super serious conspiracy videos of people having magic powers or magic existing here in this reality and im really happy and proud to discover shifting 😭🫶

I have so many pets in my drs, oh my god. I have so many I haven't scripted them all I just know I'll have them. There are points in my life in a few of my drs where I have more than 10 dogs, and that's not counting cats, horses, and small animals. When I first get to my drs I don't have that many though. I think I have 2 when I first get to all of them, either a cat and a dog or 2 cats. But that's excluding fish and other tank critters, though. Taking care of animals is one of my biggest hobbies in the current reality, FYI.

Some of those "experienced" "shifted x many times" wanna be shifters just want a excuse to be bullies

my pet in my dr is a shapeshifting creature, I can't decide what pet I want so this way I get the benefits of all of them without having to have a hundred pets in my apartment. when I'm older I will have a house with a farm but for now I don't want that responsibility. (yes I could script other people look after them but why script a pet if I'm not going to spend time/look after them)

Upcoming TWs for discussion of abuse, violence, and war¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Hi there, anon! As weird as it might sound, it's nice to see a person who's life here is an absolute hellscape too!:D

Here's a hello from another traumatised and tired shifter✌️ I've got the whole bingo: I lost my childhood to severe abuse, at least four members of my family tried to kill me multiple times, my country is currently at war, I regularly see buildings get blown up and people go off to fight only to become disabled and/or return in a body bag, the borders are closed so I can't leave, my future career field is getting exploited by the system & they're slowly turning us into slaves, I'm queer and queer people literally get thrown in prison here, I'm dealing with my own disability and crippling depression and ptsd, yada yada. To put it lightly, my life in this reality was shit, is shit, and will probably continue to be shit at least until the war is over, and I've made peace with the fact that due to this I won't be "normal" without several years of extensive therapy, this reality or otherwise.

I'm also a successful shifter, and I can tell you one thing: all of that baggage? It has nothing to do with shifting and/or not shifting. Or, well, it does, but not in the way you think.

Shifting isn't limited by your circumstances or your mental health; the only thing that's currently stopping you is, well, you. Specifically your brain. And it's not your fault, and it's not the fault of your brain, either; it's just an unfortunate fact of life.

It all comes down to trauma and the "wonderful" way our brain/soul/consciousness reacts to it. Essentially, trauma makes the brain extremely afraid of change, and even more afraid of the unknown. It attaches itself what's familiar and does what it can to protect you from more damage, even if that protection looks like isolation or self-destruction. Meanwhile shifting, by itself, is complete, fundamental change that leads to you stepping into completely unknown territory. So you're essentially trying to do everything your brain is terrified of. No wonder it feels hard!

Plus there's the way this community discusses shifting as this like perfect, miracle cure solution to every problem ever. Drs are meticulously scripted to be free of every single issue, faceclaims are tweaked until there's not a flaw in sight, people are scripted down to the smallest detail. That perfection feels completely impossible to achieve to a brain that's seen nothing but tragedy. Fuck, put me into one of these, and I'll be unnerved, and I've genuinely seen horrors beyond human comprehension during some of my shifts. Because I'm not immune to trauma brain either! Being comfortable and happy is fucking scary for me, too! But most advice here is written like all of us have a stable brain and a good life, and that makes applying it to any life that's... Well, like ours, impossible at some points. You ever tried feeling calm and peaceful in an active warzone? Yeah, not possible.

So how do you sidestep all this, then? You change your methods. You take all of these horrible feelings inside you and embrace them. Use the depression as fuel, let fear push you, lean into the anger you have over the unfairness of this world. Fuck peace and quiet, yell at the void, shift from chaos to chaos. Try to make it to a different reality, period, not just a desired one; make it to a parallel reality, make it to a reality where you're a fish.

The problem is, no matter what, you need to change the story you tell yourself, and that both requires stopping idealising your dr... And not hating this one anymore as well. Your dr is just a place, your cr is just a place too. Yes, a bad place. Yes, a place that hurt you. Extensively. But by hating it you're just feeding your connection to it. And it's hard! It's hard to let that resentment go. We're so used to feeling bad we forgot that there's another option. But you have to do it; if not to shift, just to make your own life better. It's like cleaning out a wound in order to let it heal; sucks, but better do that than let it fester, you know?

You can also sidestep the whole "fear of the unknown" thing better by just... Making it familiar. Nobody says you have to start as happy in your dr; I mean, your dr self is you, they can be miserable and depressed too!:D So let your dr meet you as you, not as your desired self, and heal while you're there. Script friends that soothe your worries, script that people are always willing to help and reassure, make your dr a place that's comfortable for your weary soul. It also helps not to fall down in the trap of overthinking your dr & being afraid that your dr friends won't like you or smth.

Also: I've found that affirmations which imply your dr is attracting you to it work pretty well . Stuff like "My dr wants me there", "My dr is waiting for me", "My dr is obsessed with me", etc.

I don't know if this is the answer you're looking for, but it's the only one I could give. I'm sorry; I truly wish we could just... Forget about it, let go of that trauma and not be affected by it anymore, but unfortunately, even with reality shifting, trauma recovery means working on your mind and making it better yourself:/

Just remember: you're not alone, I believe in you, your reality is waiting for you, you got this!🌸

I'm always a different person in every dr so I scripted that every life of mine from a certain media I shifted to is canon when I'm in a different dr.

Example: my mcu drself is canon in my kpop dr (in the marvel movies there)

Honestly, it really helped me realise what people always say "you already are in your dr" because why does the plot lowkey always make more sense when my drself is there too? I was meant to be there with everyone else, periodt. I was meant to experience all of these things, not only because it's my destiny, but because I've already lived it.

On the other hand, there's been a time where I've struggled with this because, as I am always a vastly different person every time, and especially my crself is nothing like my drselfs, I was wondering whether I truly wanted to be these people, experience all these things, or whether I was just obsessed with the creative writing process (of coming up with a character who'd fit seamlessly into the show or movie, creating a backstory that fits into the established narrative) and wanted to witness my basically ocs being a part of the stories I love so much from the comfort of my TV screen.

But I got out of that mindeset because I am infinite, I'm not my body or brain, so I am indeed all of these people ✌🏻 also, it helped me look at myself as more than just a writer

I AGREE!! I have a DR where I’m a lion roaming the African savanna, another where I can communicate with animals and carnivores never harm me just like Tarzan. I have DRs where I live in Ancient Rome and Ancient Greece, where I walk through marble cities and speak dead languages like they were never forgotten. A DR where I travel across galaxies using hyper advanced technology created on Earth and exploring alien civilizations. DRs where I experience every culture on Earth, and others I didn’t even know existed. A DR where I live in the distant past, and another where I wake up in the far future. Countless DRs inspired by my favorite shows, movies, anime, books, and cartoons. A DR where I’m a siren, another where I’m a mermaid, another where I rule the oceans entirely, I have a DR where I’m unimaginably rich, living in penthouses and private islands, a DR where I survive an apocalypse and rebuilding the world from ruins. A DR where I’m a scholar in the Library of Alexandria, and another where I study in the House of Wisdom in Baghdad translating ancient texts and uncovering lost knowledge, a DR where I’m a pirate sailing the seas chasing treasures and freedom. A DR where I’m a royal, a DR where I overthrow royals. A DR where I’m a traveler in Middle Earth. A DR where I’m an Elf. A DR where I’m a powerful witch, a DR where I’m a feared warlord, a DR where I’m a healer everyone depends on. a DR where I'm the strongest knight, and greatest swordsman and warrior to ever walk on the planet. I have DRs where I’m immortal, DRs where I live a quiet and simple life in a small village, DRs where I’m famous, and DRs where no one knows my name. A DR where I’m a dragon and another where I ride dragons. A DR where I’m a space explorer and a DR where I’m stranded on an alien planet. A DR where I’m a detective solving impossible crimes and a DR where I’m a misunderstood criminal who never gets caught.

Endless worlds. Endless versions of me. Endless places to exist.

COTW: yes i do have a pet, a kitty cat

he was my cr cat. he’s no longer with me, he went outside and never found his way back to my house.

i scripted him in way before that, and honestly seeing him again is one of the reasons why i wanna shift, i miss my boy so much
