Help, I think I've been cursed!

[NewNameisRequired]

I know this sounds crazy but I'm starting to think I've been cursed.

A few months back a friend of mine gave me a gift. The gift is considered quite spiritual. I'm not saying what it was as could be outing.

Anyway, since I've been in possession of this item I've had the worst luck. Literally things I've never experienced in my 37 years are happening to me. Again, I can't go into detail. One thing I will say though is it's making me feel depressed. I've always been anxious but it's ramped up greatly. I'm anxious, depressed and my OCD traits have returned.

It started off as I joke where I'd say since I've received this I've been cursed, but now I'm starting to believe it's true.

I want all the bad stuff to stop.

Anyone else been 'cursed' by a gift?
If it really is cursing me how can I stop it?

It's probably self fulfilling prophecy - however gift it to someone else 🤔👍

I don't think it's self fulfilling prophecy, the things that have happened have been too extreme and rare.

Put the thing in the freezer

I'd think nothing of binning it or giving it to the charity shop.

or ....give it back to your friend and tell her how you feel?

I was once given an expensive ring which I later learnt belonged to a relative who had committed suicide. I never liked the ring but started wearing it once I got into a relationship. That relationship quickly made me suicidal. I had enough sense to get out of the relationship. Once I learnt the story of the ring, I chucked it out. Just through it into the disused plot of land. My life gradually got better but it took a while. So yes I do believe you

Perhaps take far from home, burn it, bury the ashes and maybe sprinkle holy water over if you believe this. That is what I would do based on watching many horror films. Not fair to pass the curse on.

I would never pass it on. My friend has offered to take it back and keep for herself but I couldn't.

Silly as it sounds I'm scared to throw it out. What if things become worse!

To be honest if I was reading this before my 'experience' I would think it's all a bit OTT but honestly if it's not a curse then I've just had the worst run of bad luck.

I had this with a gift from a partner. It was a pair of earrings from Africa and I just got a really bad vibe from them. I dumped them in a litter bin in Asda car park.

But if your friend is okay to take it back, why not?

tbh, on reflection, I'd destroy it if I didn't have the option to give it back to her.

Give it back to her if shes happy with that.. why hang on to it?

Get some water from a river/ lake/ the sea.. put the object in it along with cleansing stones and/ or cleansing herbs.
Then you put it into a white cloth and burry it .. .. asking The Holy spirit to banish any evil from you .. your loved ones and your home.. then never think of it again.

Chuck it or burn it.

It's not causing any of the bad luck incidents, there's no plausible mechanism for that to work.

However, if you are now hyper focussed on this object and don't want to think about it or worry about it then just remove it from your house. Give it back to your friend, or destroy it/throw it away. Perform a ceremony similar to what peopl have described on this thread if you think it will help your state of mind.

If I don't like an ornament/object in my house, for whatever reason, then I'd remove it. It's that simple.

That explains a lot. I found a pair of earings in a bin whilst shopping at Asda, and the very next day I was booted out of 10 Downing Street.

I couldn't believe at the time that it was anything to my excellent, forward-thinking plans... but it never occurred to me until now it was those bloody earings.

I think I'll pass them on... but who to? 🤔

Soz babes 😂

I recently watched a TV show where a group of scientists investigated the so called cursed objects. They found out that these objects actually emit a very strong type of energy. It might be accumulated energy because of the type of material, or something else. But whoever owned those pieces experienced strange phenomena, physical symptoms and waves of bad luck.
They adviced people not to buy exotic figurines in local markets, or any other local item that represents a deity or a being. They showed as an example the voodoo dolls from Haiti, they are a popular souvenir but many people had bad experiences.

I'm a bit of a skeptic but I've thrown some things in the past that gave me the creeps. I know a lady that brought a small totem from Africa and everything went wrong in her life after that, she said she is 100% sure it was the totem. A historian told her this figure was used to remove spirits from possessed people.

Really creepy, and who knows, it might be true. Get rid of any item that makes you feel uneasy.

I firmly believe that if you feel an item brings you bad luck you should get rid of it.

I had a thing about pearls for a long time - I wouldn't wear them for years after something terrible happened...

I used to do house sitting through a professional agency.

One gig was for a couple who went to Thailand and they gifted me a carved wooden elephant on their return.

It was beautiful but as soon as I saw it and handled it, I felt like it was cursed. It made me go cold.

I kept it but everything started to go wrong and although I am not very woo, thoughts about this elephant kept coming to me night and day. I started to feel depressed and oppressed.

I took it down from the shelf and decided to send it back to Thailand and as soon as I made the decision, I felt like a weight had gone from my shoulders.

I looked up companies in Thailand online and sent it to a random one anonymously just to get it back home.

I have never experienced anything like that before or since. It had the loveliest face and it was beautifully carved but I had to let it go.
