Different types of "tongue tie" Magick?

Q&A
1

Good evening, all! It has been far too long since I was last here for a visit. Sadly, I have just been buried in life! That being said, I am here in the hopes that one…or more…of you lovelies may be able to offer some knowledge and, potentially, advice if you are so inclined! :crossed_fingers:

As the title may suggest, to start, I am wondering if there are multiple types or versions of Magick or Magickal workings with regard to being/becoming or causing one to feel or be “tongue tied.”

This naturally begs a few questions from me, I can imagine! Context…

Over the last, I would say 2-ish weeks, I have been having some…issues. At first, I thought I knew what it was. But now I wonder. I recently switched a couple of medications around for my mental health at a new doctor’s suggestion. I was having some cognitive functioning issues. I say some, but in reality, it was more like…all!

To illustrate:

Remembering: I started having little issues with recalling information, conversations, things I was working on or information I had recently looked up. Honestly, it took me a while just to write this post because I was trying to remember all of the different things that have been happening! it’s been kind of alarming!

Decision-making - I started second-guessing everything. Yesterday, I literally walked in and out of my apartment 6 times. Walking back and forth to my car and back, deciding if I should go to the store or just order it delivered. No joke.

Attention - Imagine being locked in a room with a “maker” who also happens to be a hoarder with ADHD, and you’re there, trying to keep the room clean. Only you have ADHD, too! “Oh, that’s cool…wait, what was I doing, and…where does this one go?” Pretty soon, I’ll be sleeping on half-completed projects, tools, and all my dishes, wondering where the laundry went!

Perception - I started having trouble…seeing…things for what they were essentially. My understanding of things has been…fuzzy…I would say.

Language - I started having trouble forming not just the more…frivolous…language I am often prone to, but everyday words. The language we all use day in and day out. I’m either having trouble finding the words, or I have trouble getting the words to come out properly. I stumble, stutter, or jumble them.

Problem-solving - Figuring out how to troubleshoot and solve problems…don’t even get me started!

Learning & Thinking - this one is twofold! My reasoning and processing of information, ability to acquire knowledge, and understanding through thought and senses have all been…off. I had…have…a paper that was due two weeks ago that I just cannot get done. First, I got it over halfway done and felt stuck on where the paper needed to go next, so I checked the instructions and Rubrick again to see why I felt stuck. I had done the entire paper completely wrong. A total redo, nothing salvageable! Since then, things keep happening, I have had to restart the paper to some degree at least 3 additional times due to different accidental loss of information scenarios! For instance, the last time, I lost half the paper! I had the document open in an application I use for editing that USUALLY auto-saves. My computer did an auto-update overnight while I was sleeping. Closed all the browsers and restarted the computer. I opened the app, and everything I had done that night was gone! I contacted the service to see if they could access the document edit history…nope! Other issues have come up, too. But, coupled with the focus, language, recall, and problem-solving issues…?

Then the non-cognitive…I keep biting my tongue and lip! No joke, I’ve bitten both so hard I was bleeding. I can’t chew or talk. There is a little chunk missing on the one side! It really hurts!

Individually, I would likely come to some non-magick conclusion! But all together…suspect!

I don’t know why someone would. I barely speak with people these days! I don’t leave my apartment most of the time unless it’s wholly necessary! I have no family to speak of, only a handful of friends, most of which I don’t speak to all that often! I haven’t had any altercations or strange interactions with anyone. I just…don’t know!

So, I guess, long story short…anyone have any thoughts?! lol

Thanks in advance!

***Well, It turns out the reason I couldn’t post this elsewhere is because my subscription has lapsed…ooops! I just wanted to update, since you were all so kind to answer!

@Mystique It actually is Duloxetine that I was put on!! She mentioned several side affects, but not this! I am so glad I was detailed and that it resonated with you enough to mention that medication by name! I will absolutely be making an appointment with my Dr! I am glad to hear that these symptoms cleared up for you over time. I just would have been nice to know this was something to look out for or at the very least be aware of!! Thank you for the response.

Thank you to everyone else who suggested the same.

@georgia I know what you mean. I frequently get look or vibes when i sometimes forget to not, take it down a notch, around others!! Or, around people who don’t know me at least!

You all are wonderful! Thank you so much.

I hear you. Around here, we call some of that “Senior Moments,” though they happen to everyone. If we could find spells to counter the loss, it could be really helpful.

Lol. That is funny. Or, it would be especially funny if it were something that has been declining gradually (I mean…it is, naturally…gradually. :yum:) What I am describing above has been substantial, noticeable to others, over the span of a week. Not months or years. Of the handful of people I communicate with, more than half have made some kind of comment. About my “squirrel!” moments. Or how I am having trouble getting my words to come out and seem to be stuttering or stumbling over them. I am what is considered a logophile or a sesquipedalian. So, it is very unusual for me to be…without words…essentially. At first, it was just annoying, then a bit concerning. Now, I really don’t know!

@TheDarkestDesire my first thought on this is to go back to the doctor that changes the prescriptions and see if the combination of meds or if one particular med would cause this. When duloxetine was added to my med regimen I had these exact same issues. It took almost two months for my system to adjust to this med and my brain to start functioning normal again.

On the magickal side, I am aware of several spells that will do this to a person. But, from the sounds of it, you don’t have much contact with the outside world. I get that, I don’t like leaving my house unless I have to. So, unless you can think of someone from your past that may be holding a grudge, my conclusion would be it’s a medication issue.

If you so desire, I do have a couple tongue tie or confusion spell reversals in my recipe box. Let me know if you would like me to pull them out for you.

I used to be, when I was young, probably because I was an only child in the family, living in a neighborhood predominantly resided in by teachers. Mom didn’t believe in using “baby talk,” thanks to Dr Leonard (showing my age, here). I was complimented for being able to speak in complete paragraphs at the age of six, when everyone else in my class was still struggling to put sentences together.

People hated me- they seemed to think I was using words to make others feel stupid or trying to make myself sound haughty. I learned I had to “dumb it down” just to be able to communicate with peers. That was long before “Word a Day” became popular. It is good to know both ways of speaking.

I’m going to second what others have said about going back to the doctor. Medications can mess with so many different systems all at once, and since you’ve had a change in medication recently it is more likely that the medication is messing with you rather than someone else’s spell.

@TheDarkestDesire I’m glad I was able to help! I have been on the duloxetine mixed with gabapentin for almost 9 years now. Since the horrible side effects have left it really helps a lot. But you don’t want to miss a single dose. If you miss one dose of it you have a horrible few days.

@georgia here is the recipe

Dirt (any kind of dirt works, don’t need to be from a special location)
Five black peppercorns
At least five feathers
Five whole mustard seeds
Five pieces of myrrh resin
One black candle

Use a medium size bowl, place the feathers, mustard , peppercorns, and myrrh in the bottom of the bowl. Fill the rest of the bowl with the dirt packing it in tightly. Place the candle in the center of the bowl and push it down into the dirt so it stands upright. If you cast circles or work with deity’s do this now. Light the candle, and holding your hands over your head order the hex or negative energy to leave you and return to the person who sent it. If you do not want to return it to sender you can order it into the dirt. As you do this imagine the hex or energy leaving your body out of the top of your head and going into where you sent it. Repeat the order to leave five times. If you opened a circle close it now and thank any deity you asked to assist you. Let the candle burn down. Bury everything in the bowl in dirt at least five feet from where you live.

You can have someone else get the dirt and do the burying for you if you need to. If you sent the curse into the dirt, try not to touch the dirt or items as you dump them into the ground.

Saved thank you!

@thedarkestdesire I echo what others have said go to thr doctor. I have been on SSRIs in various parts
of my life and when I am getting used to the meds. I have something called swish brain. It is when i am thinking and ir feels like someone has Taken a broom and swept out my mind. It was challenging.
When i had that happen i would make sure i did more grounding and centering daily to help me feel less disassociative. I hope you start feeling better soon :two_hearts: :heartbeat: :heartpulse:

Thank you all so very much! Just as an update, after trying to talk to the Dr. who prescribed the medication that was causing this issue to no avail, I finally changed Drs and I am happy to report I am no longer on said medication, back on my correct meds, and feeling so, so much better. As a side note, I still think I was in fact hexed. I know by whom, and I did a tie splitting and return to sender. All of my issues that were bothering me have since dissipated! So, again, thank you all very much!
