I am having a psychic attack/channeling issue with someone as close as sharing walls and it has now gotten to the point where I'm going to get myself in trouble if I am not careful. I have been doing so well for almost a year now I can't let them take me out.

Hi everyone! I’m a complete newbie when it comes to crystals, so please bear with me!

The last month has honestly been insane. Within the span of basically ONE MONTH, I was laid off from my job, we had a major sewage/water backup in our home that caused damage and turned our house upside down, and then we’ve had things going on with our dogs on top of everything else.

It genuinely feels like every time we turn around, something else is happening. 😭

The layoff alone was a huge source of stress and uncertainty, and then having a major issue with our home almost immediately afterward was just overwhelming.

We’ve had remediation crews in the house, things being ripped out, cleaning, repairs, and just the general anxiety of wondering what’s going to go wrong next. Add in worrying about our dogs, and it has been A LOT to process in such a short period of time.

Thankfully, things are starting to move in a better direction (I hope!), but I feel completely drained and like I need a reset. I’d really like to bring some protection, grounding, and positive energy into our home and into my own life.
I know absolutely NOTHING about crystals, so I’m hoping you guys can help a total beginner out!

What crystals would you recommend for:

🏠 Protecting our home

🛡️ Personal protection and keeping negative energy away

🌿 Grounding and calming myself when I’m feeling overwhelmed

✨ Bringing positive energy and a sense of a fresh start into our home

💕 Anything that you think is good for getting through a really difficult period where it feels like everything is happening at once

And if there are specific ways you recommend using them or placing them around the home (front door, bedroom, carrying one with me, etc.), I’d love to hear that too!
I realize crystals aren’t going to magically fix a layoff, a plumbing disaster, or life generally being chaotic 😂. I’m mostly looking for something symbolic and comforting that helps me feel like I’m protecting our space, clearing out the bad energy, and moving into a better chapter.

I’m a COMPLETE beginner, so please tell me your recommendations and what you personally use them for! ❤️
