Q: Is Anyone Out There, Please Talk to Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello. I don't know where to start. I wonder if someone can tell me what could be wrong. When I was around 3 or 4, I started seeing an image of a woman. She wears what appears to be a black wedding dress. She has messy hair. She always stands by my door when I do see her. She only spoke to me once. She said, "shhh, it's okay." i'm afraid of her still to this day. I dream about her, and sometimes I believe I can feel her presence. After many years, I was talking to my older brother. The topic came up, even though we had never talked about it before. He has seen her as well. Now i'm not sure if she is real or imagined. We established by our ages, I was the first to start seeing her. Now days, I stay up all night securing the windows and doors, cause i'm afraid of intruders. After doing so, I think, " man they got me now, now i'm trapped, cause I nailed the windows shut, they tricked me." then after that, i'm afraid she's here. What is wrong with me? I'm now afraid of doors and can't sleep unless I can see them. They can't be behind me. I hate windows as well. Please can someone help me make sense of this. I just need a logical explaination. Thank you for your time.

This Is Hardly An Explanation But Maybe It Will Help.
You should take the nails out of your windows. Feeling trapped might make things worse for you. I have a major fear of windows also. Try lining the middle ledge (where the window locks) with small glass trinkets. Not so many that you look crazy to your neighbors but enough that you could hear it break if someone tried to get in. I can't explain your fear but I can sympathize. When I was pregnant I was completely overwhelmed with fear. Sometimes we just have to live with the fact that certain things are out of our hands. Take a deep breath.

Yes I have fears over seeing her in the past. I sometimes feel her presence if you know what I mean. I tell myself it's not real, although I don't know. Doctors call the symptoms of two siblings seeing the same thing as, shared psychotic disorder. One being the primary and the other submissive. I would be the primary, for I saw her first. The last time I saw her was 6 years ago. I'm just afraid of seeing her. I've nailed my windows shut cause now i'm afraid someone will break in, but then I think someone has tricked me or made me do it, so then I think this is funny now this is how I die. Sometimes I hear a voice call my name. I think everyone has that happen from time to time. That's always a male voice. Last week, someone asked if they could come in the bathroom. I assumed it was my niece or her mother. I felt the door touch my arm, pushed it shut, and said no. When I came out I told them next time to just wait. They looked confused, cause no one came by the door. I think this is the brains way of keeping it functioning correctly, but who knows? Everytime I heard the voice I was always wide awake walking around. There were times I saw the woman and I was just waking up and others I was fully awake. I do suffer from severe anxiety and depression. Maybe this is my brains way of coping. I was once put on risperadal, which I stopped using. I don't even know why I was on it. I refuse to take meds without proof. Now if they did an mri and showed me I had an abnormal brain, sure I would believe them. When you don't even know why your on risperadal and what it's for, why keep taking them? So I haven't taken that med in years. Anyways, thank you for replying. Hope everything is well with you.
