Ask the Psychic
Psychic or Unbalanced?
Haunted People
A close friend, the head of psychiatric nursing at a major insititution used to say I was "Mad", joking that I'd best be careful not to let 'them" get their hands on me... much as she was making fun, there was a serious note to her message... as she reminded me, there is a fine line between the mystic in me and the mental patients she dealt with on a daily basis... we both experience a lot of strange visions... the difference is that I do not see the visions as "real", and that I think about what I am seeing before I would act on it... My sister is a behavioural psychologist who has also sensitized me to the need to be discerning about what is psychic activity and what is mental illness. At some point in our history as a species, I believe that we will find the connection between many deep mental disturbances and the underlying spiritual issues... but for now, the best we can do is note the difference between psychic activity and mental dysfunction... and leave the doctors to their jobs... Occasionally in this work, we are asked for help by someone we feel has crossed the line, someone who is best-advised to seek medical help.... here is a good example...
My childhood memories began when I was 18 months old. My parents didn't believe in church, so our father would "teach" us about God himself, with stories of hell and how if we didn't do what we were told, God would send us there. I remember thinking how wrong he was, even before I could tell him. One day at age 2 and a few months I decided to correct him, and told him how God loves us and when we die we go back and pick new parents to come back and live with, (of course in simpler words.) My parents were shocked, and I think that was the day they started resenting me. My brother and I grew up our whole lives dodging what our parents couldn't see, hear or feel. When we got scared,which was alot, we ran to mom or dad to protect us, only to be laughed at and told we were imaging things, or lying. But he and I would just look at each other, because we knew the truth. We never held back telling, mainly in hopes they would eventually listen, but most children who are told these things, will lose the ability over time from suppressing it to please their parents. My brother and I didn't try to suppress it, and as we became teens it got stronger than ever. He eventually moved off, glad to be rid of the "things" in that bedroom, but I knew no matter where either of us ever went, they would come out of the wood work. I was right.
It wasn't long before he would tell me of weird things at his new house. I too moved and had nothing but sightings, nightmares, the awful feeling that someone is glaring hate right in front of your face. So I came back home, at least it was predictable, so I thought. Nothing happened for a while, I saw my occasional spirit out around town,and worked on my other talents~clairvoyance, clairaudience, excellent intuition, dreams.
But suddenly one day around age 23 everything went crazy. It was like someone had opened the gates of hell. These entities swarmed, being clairaudient I would hear them talking and it sounded like a crowded restaurant. I wouldn't be there alone, but they swarmed at my job, at friend's houses who would tell me later on that they thought their house might be haunted all of a sudden. I woke up one morning to something rubbing me, while a woman stood taking things off a shelf across the room and talking nonsense. I tried to jump up and run, but something held me down, and as hard as I was fighting, wide awake and terrified, I couldn't keep my eyes open. When I woke up, I ran out of the house, and called my brother. I told him how things were crazy and getting worse. He told me the same type of thing happened to him, that's why he left, but he said that he realized it was our abilities getting stronger and mine were changing.
He and I had been extremely sensitive children emotionally, and still are, but I was worse than ever. I would constantly worry about everyone's problems, and neglected my own feelings, became depressed, and knew I had to try my best to block my abilities. Finally they subsided, and a year later my son was born. I prayed he would not be like us, but he is. When he was 2 months old he had a friend on the ceiling, when he began walking there was someone his size, I couldn't see or hear that he would share toys with.and all.
During this time my abilities changed. Again, I began to nod off unexpectedly, so I thought. It finally happened one day when I was writing, and I nodded out 8 times in maybe 10 minutes. The last time I heard a sound like keys tinkling in my ear and my eyes snapped open only to witness this thing dragging itself off my bed and through my closet. I was so scared.I snatched my son up and ran, but later went back for my note book, and as I had thought there was writing that wasn't mine. It was saying "get the girl, she has been entrusted.." and "I'm here with you" things like that..I never went back in that room, but that started a nightmare for me, it lasted several months, I would see them coming in through windows, walking in my yard in daylight, they would come at me from all angles, as though if they could just touch me,I don't know what. But something would happen for them.One morning I was about to email a friend, I opened the mail and and felt someone sneaking up on me. I jumped out of the chair to run and when I did I heard someone gasp as though I had scared them!! I grabbed the phone ran outside and called my brother to come over. He did and I told him what happened. I decided since he was there I would finish my email.I went and sat down and there instead of a blank page was a letter written to someone named Sarah, who was away at school, and should know her father's team of horses were down. I screamed for my brother to come look. He thought it was amazing, but the more I looked at it the more I was getting faint memories of typing it myself, and I had been laughing while I wrote it like a crazy person, and it had been like my fingers were heavy. I could have sworn only a split second had passed, and then I sensed them and ran. But they were taking over me and I began to recall similar situations. I was sick.What might have happened to my son? was all I could think. But my brother just told me that I was being used as a channel, and not to be afraid, you know, very matter of fact type of way, since it wasn't happening to him. Well, I stopped running, and though for some reason I couldn't see them anymore, I could feel the energy, and emotions, and spoke to them with thoughts. They were malicious. I would tell them to leave constantly, forcefully, and would find a big fat no as answer. Finally I sat with a notebook and said if they wanted me to write I would, and I did, they wrote they would never leave me alone, that I had something they wanted or needed, that they would use me whenever they wanted and there was nothing I could do about it. Then it said goodbye for now. And that ordeal was over, for the time being.
It almost cost my sanity, and I have gone to be psychiatrically evaluated several times to reassure myself, and the diagnosis has been adult ADD (with no hyper activity) Anxiety attacks, unusually compasionate, and emotional. I always knew I had a couple things I was able to do, but recently found information on something called hyper-sensitives. I read the signs,and it sounded just like how I feel and always had. I read that these types of psychics have a hard time controlling their abilities which can run wild.and found that a lot of the symptoms could be mistaken for adult add and depression. My thing is, I don't know what to do about it, now that I finally know what's wrong with me! I have displayed clairaudience, clairvoyance, Intuition is perfect, channeling (to my dismay), inadvertant telepathy with a few people, OBE, dreams, visions, and of course the constant emotions of everyone near me and the house I'm sitting in right now. I have read that it is very bad to block the psychic energy, but I have to because I have no idea what else to do.
I really need any advice anyone can give me. I cannot continue with my headaches, mood swings, and depression. I hope that this made just a little bit of sense!! I wrote it pretty quickly. I am so needing help, and have never found anyone from any organization, or mediums, investigators who could, they all had never seen anyone like me before and didn't know what to do. They deal in haunted houses I guess, not haunted people. :) please help if you can,thank you so much.
Darling, I think you need to see a doctor. What you describe here sounds very much like the symptoms of a bipolar disorder. Folks with this disorder are often very psychic, and also very intelligent, so it can be difficult to realize that there is something chemically triggering some of the psychic activity. Please go talk with your family doctor about what you are experiencing... Psychic activity by itself does not produce the kind of mood swings that you describe and it is extremely rare for anyone to be haunted the way you are... there is some disturbance in your electrical field causing some of this. You might also find that some spiritual healing, Reiki and other forms of energy work are very helpful in creating some balance around you. Do check it out. Lotsa LLLove, Danielle
My son has let's call them visions. He hates the word illusions. He sees things like the sun blowing up but he is afraid of talking about them. I only know bits and pieces. He is learning to control these things and does pray daily sometimes all the time. For now we are going to get him put on Social Security because he can't control them and thus can't work. He has talked to President Bush using ESP and also Bin Lauden. But whether he can or not I don't know. He also talks quite regularly about aliens and will lay on the sidewalk sometimes for hours watching the stars. He says that he can communicate to people in far away places. Now do you see why I question him and his mental health issues. I wish I could get him to someone in the medical profession that has an open mind so that we can filter through all this and understand. The drugs that they give him helps him to get rid of some of it but he still has these visions as we call them. So I have told him to ask God for answers and he will find them out there. Again Thanks so much for you excellent advice and you kind words of encouragement. All our love, S. and J.
Ok, hon, this fills me in enough to know that he has crossed that fine line I spoke of... he does need to be on those drugs... while some of what he says and sees may indeed be real - we really don't know enough about either the paranormal or the workings of the brain to be able to determine what is going on when his chemistry is out of whack... My sister (the professor of psych that I spoke of ) and I have spoken on a number of occasions about the need to pay attention to the visions that come to those who are unbalanced... I believe that if we could understand what they are seeing - even go where they go - and what dimensions they access in these chemically altered states, we would be able to facilitate the healing process much more effectively. But there are too few medical practitioners with minds open enough to explore these possibilities - and the ramifications of having to treat these disorders in completely different ways.
Still, the truth is that your son is not doing a good job of dealing with his practical life - which makes me distrust his seeings... and lean to the possibility that he is suffering from a chemical imbalance and really needs the help of a supportive and understanding medical community. That is the best we have for folks like your son at the moment...
Suggest also that he keep a journal of his experiences - this may help him over time to understand what he is seeing.
I would suggest also that you continue to explore the world of holistic medicine - see what they are saying about bi-polar disorders... continue searching for answers. Hope that helps, Lotsa LLLove, Danielle
