It really depends upon the symptoms you experience and how your clairsenses manifest. Because of that, I can’t ethically provide a comprehensive guide on discerning clairsenses from mental illness. However, I always recommend doing mental health check-ins with yourself as you continue with deity work:

  • Is this interfering with my day-to-day life?
  • Is this causing me distress, anxiety, confusion, or disruption in any way?
  • Am I having a hard time with discernment in general right now?

If your practice is giving you greater distress than not, then it may be good to set some boundaries with it. As intriguing as deity work is, your mental health comes first.
