Bird, I hope that things will get better soon... like today, right now!!! It makes me feel bad for you to know what you are going through. I am keeping you in my prayers and sending lots of positive thoughts & white light.
The one thing that bothers me most are the dresses from Goodwill. Not knowing the circumstances of the previous owner/wearer, I am thinking that these might benefit from a special smudging/blessing. You might try putting them outdoors overnight, to see if it makes any difference. Whatever may have come with the dresses may still be around, and it is trying to attach to you, because you are wearing them occasionally, and storing them in your closet? Could it be a deceased person who loved the lady who wore them before, and they are upset that you have them now? This is just a mental impression I am getting about the dresses... so maybe it might be worthwhile to try a couple of things with them. Show them to the dog, and see if there is any kind of strange reaction. Teddybear should be very sensitive to anything unusual about them. If he doesn't react, perhaps there is no problem with the dresses?
These are just my thoughts as they came to me, and I wanted to share them, even though they seem kind of weird. :crazy:
Love, hugs and blessings,
