Mictecacihuatl, Lady of the Dead, is the link between the living and the deceased. She holds our teyollia, the spirit of our personality and our creativity, and purifies it so it can return to the Earth in the shape of a new being. Also called Mictlancihuatl, she is the ruler of the land of the dead. She is honored on Dia de Muertos, and is a manifestation of La Santa Muerte. A work of nahua (or Aztec) tradition.
Mictecacihuatl is the female deity associated with death in many of Mexico's indigenous cultures. In addition to welcoming us into the afterlife, she is the protector of some and the source of countless legends related to the underworld. Learn about her history, her powers, and the fate of those who encounter the powerful lady of Mictlán.
Known as the lady of the dead, the lady who cuts the umbilical cord, or simply the lady of death, Mictecacihuatl is the goddess who rules the other world and to whom some will have to answer sooner or later.
Together with her husband, the lord of death Mictlantecuhtli, Mictecacihuatl welcomes souls who died naturally to Mictlán, to watch over their bones and watch over their sleep for all eternity.
Furthermore, her power extends throughout the land of the dead and even into the world of the living, as she is capable of sending blessings, curses, and messages from her dimension in the afterlife. Of the two rulers of the underworld, Mictecacihuatl seems to be the more flexible of the two deities, as she is the one who gives the deceased permission to return from Mictlán, a gesture that does not go unnoticed on the earthly plane, as the celebration of the dead in pre-Hispanic cultures was an honor to this goddess.

why do i feel like my body runs 1 hour late? i feel like 5pm is actually 4pm fir example, wtf is going on
lost weight because i can't eat, i don't deel like eating
I think you should see a doctor. May be like a stress response, but it could be an issue with your pancreas or liver? I think if it were issues with your pancreas or liver usually your internal clock gets thrown off by more than an hour, but its worth checking on combined with the unexpected weight loss and lack of appetite.
it is stress though. i can't stop working on this obviously dogshit job cause otherwise my family will kill me
my grandma compared me having a big appetite while playing games all day with me having literally no time to eat at work. i have to wait for calls and always have to do shit i can't just pause, also 20 minutes is the largest break i can get and i never feel like that's enough time to even eat something light
it's always about time. always was
At least it’s nice to hear you’re physically healthy. The weight loss is definitely concerning, would a doctor be able to sign off on stress leave or something? I recall you were in an eastern/southeastern European country (Romania?) and a few of them do have pretty reasonable sick leave policies. I know my uncle and cousin had several paid months off work with their job protected, thought those were for physical ailments (diabetic shock, and a major surgery respectively).
reasonable sick leave policies yea, but my issue is unreasonable family members that are workaholics. also call center, those things are stressful by default.
i was supposed to get a sick leave for one week but mom refused and just fucking told me to continue working because reasons. no mom i literally couldn't speak without coughing every 5 seconds and my throat was so sore i genuinely was unable to speak
don't fucking go "you are a grown ass man", my family is built different and i have no rights
