The Reason Why You May Be Feeling a Little "Off" Lately... (Mercury Retrograde)

Stingray444

So, What's been happening on my side:

So, I haven't been feeling right lately; I've been off negatively, easily stressed, best friends getting angry at me for no reason, friends been getting noticeably angry at simple things, me getting angry/stressed myself at stupidest things, my (and couple others) spelling/phrasing has been off a bit, friends being more sarcastic and abnormal towards me and others, feeling more fatigue/depressed/stressed/annoyed, etc.

Looking Back:

Those same issues stated has also happened a while back remembering the first week of March (maybe a tad less severe as I remember, but it's still not good) . But that's when I've gotten into a long-distance argument with the nicest female friend I knew at that time due to misconceptions, she was nice the week before, then it's like she just randomly snapped into being mean/rude to all my friends (mostly me, And she always was the nicest towards me) (She apologized a month later saying that it was just "family and friend issues" , and that she just was "very very aggravated at the world at that time"), so was I... She's in her early teens, plus she's immature, but she's always been nice before nevertheless.

The Present:

Now, It is the present; the month of July 2019: Things haven't really been feeling right all month, people seemed to have been getting angry and annoyed with me and others easily, and more often lately for as little as saying simple words, making comments, or even simply involving in situations that isn't even worth people getting angry for. Some of the things are, talkative friends randomly keeping quiet or making small and uncaring random comments, people giving one-word or even short but rather rude text replies, expecting a "Thank you" from friends/others but receiving rather 'wise' or rude replies instead, even after apparently being nice to them, etc.

Even other friends were yelling, interrupting and talking over others, talking about suicide, making sexist or racist comments, etc. Even one of my guy friends got into verbal and small physical fights on his shared SnapChat Story, and even seeing him smoking noticeably more (I pray for him...).

Though, maybe not All friends were noticeably upset, but surprisingly enough; Most friends either personally told me that they're randomly more stressed/depressed this month more than usual, or it was even just that their stress was plain noticable.

Even that same female friend from March who I talked about, got angry at me and all my friends last week again, pretty much for similar reasons like back in March; she had misconceptions between me and my other friends , we've been good friends, and she was the nicest girl, but I guess she finally decided to unfriended me via social media and apparently other friends as well, and blamed it on me, my friends, and some of her "family issues" for "being weird and not better people" and she thought that we were making fun of her, but we were just wanting her to join us and play some fun games as friends. But it's just like I said, miscommunications between all of us... Kinda unfortunate for her nevertheless, even her best friend stopped talking with her last week. I still can't help feeling bad for her for some reason along with behalf of myself and all my friends...

What I found out the overall reason is:

So regarding all the situations from me and my friends, also the negative and randomly stress, feelings of sadness, guilt, annoyance, etc. (there's more, but I'd be here for a while typing all of them, I think y'all get the point tho) I happen to get a feeling to lookup Mercury Retrograde an hour ago... And unfortunately, that's what has been occurring this past month as of July 7th, 2019. Mercury Retrograde happens a number of times every year (in 2019, it happens for 3 times/months; March/April (got extended) , July/August, and October/Nov).

To get accurate dates and expected details, then research/lookup Mercury Retrograde. Though, I'll also include some links at the end of this MyTake.

"When Mercury is in retrograde, technology, communication, travel, logic, and information all get disrupted."

The overall and general known thought which may come to mind of "Mercury Retrograde" may be negativity, miscommunications, and annoyance with others and even yourself. But there's also some good in this as well...

Though, They may say that it is Not a good time for "signing contracts, or interviewing for jobs" during the Retrograde, or even getting associated with any seriousness involving anything social, due to the risk of negative miscommunications or bad insight. But, This is a good time for you to take as much time for yourself as possible, limit as much socializing as possible to avoid the chance of unexpected and undeserving conflict, and just relax; regain your energy and level your stress meters , make life plans and get excited for your future while you regain your positive energy.

Most people are said to 'predict' your intentions wrong for the time remaining of Mercury Retrograde, so just try to remain positive, try to be understanding with others as most are stressed in their own way, just like you. Heck, Even go meditate, nothing is better to level your stress than that 😉

Conclusion:

Several friends of who I informed about this are actually making sense of Mercury Retrograde, and I also have been told that they are reasoning with this, and that it makes them feel better with knowing that this is the main reason. Including my parents, friends, and family from the youngest to the most mature are agreeing and making sense of this.

Generally, Mercury Retrograde affects people in a variety of ways, including their stress levels and it can also cause confusion, which can make people wrongfully misunderstand others, causing in unneccessary conflict or negative behavior.

One of my friends thought is was only hormonal issues, while that may be true as well; Mercury Retrograde unfortunately only adds to problems...

Whether socializing online, or in person; Try to limit as much communication as you can, or At Least limit the amount you say to others, as this is a time for regeneration of yours And others' energy. Be understanding with others, lots are going through the same situations and stress like you.

Take some time for yourself, level your meters, and plan for your future as this time passes. Here are some sources/links to help back me up, and for you to have a better understanding or Mercury Retrograde:
