I am completely new to the idea of crystal healing and have a few questions. I will firstly say thank you for taking the time to read this.
I am a 21 year old female who has had debilitating anxiety for most of my life (depression is also a problem, but a manageable one). Simple tasks such as going to lectures, going into stores alone, meeting with friends, having relationships, and etc. are sometimes nearly impossible.I dropped out of college the first time completely due to social anxiety. I was wondering if using crystals/gemstones as comfort and security would be helpful?
I have always been attracted to rocks / stones / crystals. I even would actively ask to go to stores that sold rocks/crystals when i was really young and collected them without even knowing what their meanings were. I actually still have quite a few although i have no idea what any of them are.
I suppose my questions are;
Do you think that crystals/stones would be helpful for me?
If so, where do i begin? Do you have any specific recommendations?
Thank you for taking the time.
Hi
What you experience is not an uncommon thing for many people.
Fascination with crystals is great because they are beautiful and fascinating.
A selected stone worn in a certain manner can sometimes help to overcome anxiety and number of other challenges.
But what is even more potent alongside a crystal is you relaxing into the anxiety rather than trying to banish it or conquer it.
When you don't have a fight going on your part, the issue lets go too.
soothing crystal like amethyst along with relaxing and stop telling yourself that you have a problem. We do enough remind ourselves of what we have wrong with us...and what we must sort out beforehand to be happy.
What if...it is possible that you can be happy without trying to shoo away this anxiety. Just ponder over that possibility
'debilitating anxiety'...is how you express it, then it is going to behave like that. What if you start relating to it as is 'manageable anxiety' or 'no-big-deal anxiety'? Try softening around the issue, the issue will soften and eventually wither away...on its own. More you focus on things that are right in your life, more this anxiety will bow out.
Love
I know this is not a popular opinion concerning crystals, but - in choosing them - please consider that most are taken from the ground, damaging the earth, the crystal and probably anyone who uses a traumatised crystal.
Is there any amethyst (for example) that has not caused huge pollution as it has been mined?

Yes many pieces can be just picked up along the roadside, but that isnot to say that I do not understand your cncerns, I share them too adn so I make sure that all the crystals I use and sell are from reputable sources, that are pretty sound and checked out.

Hi Savanah,
You have taken the first step and I do believe that crystals can help you, and will help you.
Most commonly for lectures - Turquoise for speaking and Snowflake Obsidian for a confidence boost.
Meeting people, well that depends on what exactly you feel is going on there.
I also recognise that you have used the term 'debilitating anxiety' that is a tremendous achievement for you to say that. Have you been to your gp? I bet you have a thousand times? And it may be debilitating right now, but we can change that. Do you have any crystals already? even in jewellery?
