Hi this may sound silly to you but mentally i am so scared and anxious and have heighten anxiety about every thing .

Today i saw smelled smoke for over an hour and started getting worried so i called the fire brigade and they came to see where it was coming from .

It was coming from my nahi ours home that i don't get along with and i had no clue it's coming from her house they were having a barbecue it was so bad that that fire people could smell it as soon as they entered the street .

They told her to calm the barbecue down .

I hands in heart didn't call them to be a bitch but i was worried and didn't know where it was coming from .

I am now scared that she will curse me this is my 3rd pregnancy but1st baby i can't stop thinking and worrying about this .

my anxiety is so bad i've been referred to the perinatal health team

can someone pls tell me if i did something too bad i'm scared about being cursed

Curses don't exist, I'm really glad you're engaging with the perinatal team because whilst it's normal to feel anxious during pregnancy, thinking you may get cursed is another ball game.

I promise you and your baby will be absolutely fine and if god forbids anything does go wrong it's because it's medical not voodoo x

There’s no such thing as a curse so you can’t put that right out of your head. Your baby will not be cursed.

MargeGoesBowling · 02/08/2021 22:55

What about your neighbours makes you think that they would or could perform (?? make?) curses?

Also, there’s no such thing as a curse.

Saidtoomuch · 02/08/2021 22:56

You know that curses etc aren't real. They are designed to upset and unsettle the victim. If it helps you to deal with it, imagine a barrier around yourself that curses can't break into, they will just bounce back and kick her on the arse. This isn't the real issue here though.
I'm pleased to hear you have a referral. If you need to chase for your appointment or see your GP, don't suffer in silence.
If your neighbour harasses you then go to the police.
Do you have someone living with you?

Curses don't exist that way. Some people believe that we get from the universe what we give out to others; if that's the case, then the only thing someone achieves through trying to curse another person is increasing their own bitterness and negativity, which won't affect the other person at all.

It sounds like it was perfectly understandable that you called the fire brigade if you were concerned. Nobody will have been hurt by your doing so and if the situation had been different your actions could have saved a life.

Keep working with the perinatal mental health team - they can probably give you some valuable support through this time.

Curses don't exist, you know this

Fiddliestofsticks · 02/08/2021 23:53

What? What are you talking about?

Usually, I would be kind and careful with the words and supportive and all of that, but in this case I think you need a simple "what the hell are you on about" response.

You know this is absolute nonsense.

ImprobablePuffin · 02/08/2021 23:56

A curse? OP in the nicest imaginable way, I think you should maybe contact your midwife for some urgent help.

No, just leave it be and don't draw any attention to it.

She doesn't have that power over you. Nobody does.

What is happening here? Listen to PP- get HELP immediately.

bowchickawowwoww · 03/08/2021 00:31

You didn't do anything wrong! You could smell a strong smell of fire, and didn't know where it was coming from. Calling out the fire brigade was the right thing to do. You won't be cursed. And if your neighbours ever find out it was you (which I doubt) just explain you were worried as you couldn't see where the fire was coming from.
Try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy
