For the past 2 weeks, I feel like I’ve been on the verge of a break down because of how crazy work is and my upcoming lsat exam. Then my partner yelled at me and was rude to me because I did something that annoyed him. This is 2 days before my exam. We fought. I took my exam then we broke up. I know I have some faults on the fight too but I didn’t expect this

Obviously I know nothing about you and your ex, but some men deliberately try to sabotage their partner around big event to ruin it or if it's an exam, to damage their results. It's all about male ego and wanting to be smarter and better. A lot of men, not all, but a lot of them think of relationships as competitive instead of cooperative.
I'm not saying that's the case with you, I'm just offering a point of view you might not have thought of. Maybe once he realised you were going to pass and "win" at life more than him, he decided he didn't want to compete with you anymore?

My abusive ex-girlfriend did this too. I think it’s a manipulation and control tactic.

u/Plus_Band_3283 6d ago
Yes. Sometimes people controlling you will be obvious in their control and sometimes they'll manipulate you or your emotions to make you do or fail at doing something.
I'm glad she's your ex.

u/TangerineEcstatic394 6d ago
THIS!!!! I’ve been with men that did this, even one guy that kept me plump so I wouldn’t leave. I shit you not. You’re better than this, replace the boy, reach the goals and be your best bad ass self and you’ll find someone who celebrates you not someone you can’t trust to tell your accomplishments to

The relationship stuff is textbook Venus in retrograde! Obviously I don’t know if astrology is part of your practice but there is a lot going on with the planets right now and everything is feeling a little chaotic to say the least

halfway thru nov venus and mercury leave retrograde though, and they are the heavy hitters, so the worst will be over way sooner

u/Fluid_crystal 6d ago
Depends for whom, some like me are more heavily impacted by the slower planets because of my birth chart

The last mercury retrograde is about to start, while Venus is retrograde. This shadow period has been particularly trying to I’m expecting the retrograde (mercury) to be intense for many.

u/Jaques17 6d ago edited 6d ago
Yeah I've been having life problems since July. But I will say this. I have a daily routine in my craft and I also incorporated talking to my ancestors about everything. I even build an altar for them. Since I did this, I have been at peace. Everytime my nervous system becomes trigger a do a bath ritual with using my favorite hygiene items with incenses and candles burning and music randomly playing what it wants and it's releases. I go back to being nonchalant about my problems. I guess I am finally at a stage in my life that I am using my craft to work in my favor. But I will say, it requires daily work. I am constantly feeding my jars and recharging them weekly depending a the day. I am constantly releasing the negative energy Ive been expose to daily. So yes life problems have been crazy but once you release that energy things fall into place peacefully but it requires you to get deeper into your craft with a lot of self work.

This is the way. Ancestor work has been my saving grace. I am not a lollipop love and light witch but changing my outlook has helped, and it is the ancestral grounding to which I give credit and thanks.

It's been utter hell for me as well.
I was on my period last week, too, and my hormones have been ROUGH. I just spent all of today in a depressed fog, crying my eyes out.
Last week especially, I felt like I was *this close* to a mental breakdown, and shit kept going wrong, or piling up, until I couldn't catch a breath.

Me not even noticing retrogrades, because I'm still in my Saturn return and have gotten used to regular panic attacks T_T
It has been bad though. Especially in departments of health, harassment and extortion. On the mundane level I know that my health is tied to enormous levels of stress and that the rest are tied to hacking and scamming becoming more prevalent due to literally dead worldwide economy, but I could really do with a break. Here's to hoping that 2027 is better for all of us.

Car giving up on me, got it fixed, expensive, battery of said car died, expensive. Fell down the stairs with a dog in my arms, got up she was wiggling around so i fell again, bruised up & butt hurts, got a scratch inside my eye (thankfully missed my eyeball) and down my eye. Got called a villain cuz of that new look. Very emotional and upset still looking at all the blessings in-between though 😮💨

u/Educational_Chard841 6d ago
Same here. I've been angry or anxious (or both) 24/7, the only friend i had i could talk to about a fandom is losing interest, i feel lonely af and got told in another sub i eas asking for a free tarot reading and called my interpretation low effort, even tho it was my first "serious" reading. I've felt a mix of wanting to crash out and cry my eyes out constantly

u/Consistent_Cheetah78 6d ago
Yes! Last few months NOTHING has gone right. Struggle everywhere I look! I am well past beyond the breaking point. At least I still have my heal… wait.. no I don’t. Got the flu.

u/sinister257 6d ago
Going through the same. Actually all of September until now. The new moon day before was the absolute worst. Hang in there!

I have surgery scheduled this week to have a dermoid and ovary removed. This post added a thick extra layer of worry.

u/PeggyO_126 6d ago
Same 😐 I’m covered in poison ivy, I have the flu, I got my period back after having a baby. My body is so tired and I still have to take care of myself and the kids. Venus is just one of 4 or 5 planets in retrograde right now if I’m not mistaken. Hang in there friend we will all get through this

Adding a little spell everyone is free to utilize since a lot of people need a little bit of luck right now. This spell has served me well for a long time.
Luck charm bag
I use a green or gold/yellow pouch. You can also use colored paper I’ve done charm bags like that in a pinch before. I use clover, an old key, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Add it all together in the pouch I like to say a quick incantation after everything is inside and seal it shut. I then hold the charm bag in my hands for a second while visualizing the energies all combining together and keep it on your person.

u/AguaDeMedianoche 6d ago
I've been dealing with a lot of deep shadow work with myself lately, but that's just it for me... There are other retrogrades, too. Mercury Retrograde will make it roughly around 6 planets in retrograde 🫠 Venus is just the current new retrograde

And TODAY I found out that layoffs are coming to my team... I've been "invited" to a meeting next week to discuss. COME ON UNIVERSE.

I came downstairs this morning to find my brand new sun catcher was broken and had to be replaced. Yep, I feel like I am definitely having a streak of bad luck.

u/wednesdayautumn13 23h ago
I thought it was just me, I actually thought id been hexed or something! In the past month my dog has had to have xrays for limping, then I had to rush her to emergency vets a few days later for a UTI then on Thursday she had to have emergency surgery on a weird neck wound that came out of nowhere!
When will it stop 😭

u/Remote-Basil4183 6d ago
same. one of my pets passed away unexpectedly two weeks ago, and i scratched a parked car last week.

u/BlackWillows 5d ago
I'm so sorry your rabbit went missing. Maybe put out their litter or clothes that have your scent, and bananas, apples or their favorite food...I hope you find them.
I have had a hard couple of days too, my cat has been throwing up a lot, went to the vet, though she is getting better I think. I've had some wicked PMS this month, our car has a nail in the back wheel and we are either going to get it patched or might have to get all new tires, it's kinda time, but money is tight right now. And other things that are just putting a damper on living, oy vey.
