What's up with me?

I thought his was a little weird, so I thought I'd post it. :)

Yesterday, I looked outside and I saw a curly haired man. All I really saw was the top of his head, and then I saw him walking. I asked my dad if someone was out there and he said no. I know that I saw someone. I can still see it play back in my mind. I just know that I saw a curly haired man. the only thing that makes me believe I was just imagining it, is that my whole family says no one was out there. They didn't really act like I was crazy or anything, but they just kind of looked at me funny. And it made my mom a little uneasy 'cuz I think she was afraid someone was wondering around the house, but come on in broad day light, when we've been in and out of the house, I don't think so. I guess I could have saw something else, and just thought it was a curly haired man, but I don't think so. It couldn't have been a dog or anything, because dogs aren't that tall!! And I doubt it was a bird that looked like a curly haired man's head, because, they just makes no sense. lol I just don't know what it was. I guess I could have just imagined it, but it seemed so real. I just know that I really saw it. I may have been imagining things, but I"m not totally convinced yet. I've been seeing things in the corner of my eye, too, lately. MOstly I just think that I saw a bug and nothing was there. Am I losing my mind? could this be some kind of psychotic thing? I don't know, but it was weird. And then I have a problem with paranoia. I don't talk about it to my parents much, but it's weird. And I've been having a lot of nightmares lately. The man that i saw or thought I saw didn't frighten me though. I just thought it was one of my dad's friends. Maybe my dad and mom and sister just didn't see him, so they thought no one was out there. IDK, but it was really weird. THis is all a little disturbing though, because I'm seeing things that no one else believes are there, and I'm having all of these freaky nightmares. They are terrible. Sometimes I wake up screaming, and sometime I run and turn my light on. Sometimes I've ran to the living room (where my mom sleeps on the couch), and I wouldn't wake up till I got there, and it'd scare her. And a few weeks ago, I had a dream about huge s-p-i-d-e-r-s and my came into my room 'cuz she heard me screaming. My eyes were open as I sat on my bed screaming, but I didn't actually wake up 'til she was talking to me and I sort of snapped out of it. I think my light was already on, because many times I turn it on in my sleep, after a nightmare. Some of these dreams are just about spiders and such, but some of them are about terrifying things that I don't remember thinking about during the day. In one of these dreams, I was standing in a cirle with a bunch of people that appeared to be crazy. THey were all screaming like they were dying. The sky was red, and it was very dark outside where we were. I was like chained in with everyone else, and I was terrified, and I wanted to get away, but I couldn't. So it woke me up, and I was still scared. And the night before last, I dreamed about this girl that looked almost just like me (although I was like someone else in the dream), but she was extremely bony and scary looking. It was like she was dead, and she was talking to me and scaring me. And she was with a little boy, but he was normal. I vaguely remember it all, but I just remember that it was weird, and I woke up scared. And I had to get on the computer and stay up for a while before I felt comfortable enough to try sleeping again. I know that something else in the dream happened that was terrifying, but I just can't remember what it was, but it was making me feel terribly uncomfortable.

So am I crazy, or what? Opinions? advice?

Oh, and a little side note, I'm not scared at all right now, but my heart is a little fluttery, and it has been a lot lately. And i'm very shaky!! I'm not sure if that really has anything to do with it though. I'ma lso full of energy and very happy so that could be what's causing me to be shaky. I have way more energy than I know what to do with right now!!!!!!!!!!!!

element,

its okay, i dont think your crazy.

Minds are really good at playing tricks on people, especially when your stressed or dealing with something pretty tough, such as you are. Stuff like that happens a lot to me too, but if it gets overwhelming maybe you should talk to a professional about it so that they can help you deal with it.
Sorry i'm not much help.

Angel told me in a private message, that basically, she thinks I'm overanalyzing a lot. I'd have to say I agree with her. I'm not worried about anything on this post anymore. I still believe I saw someone outside though. Because this was different that just my mind playing tricks on me ( I think). It may not have actually been a man, but I know I saw something. I'll just keep believing that. lol It may have been my imagination having a little fun with me, but I'm pretty sure it was something. It could have been a bird, and then my imagination turned the bird into curly hair. lol Who knows.

Thanks Heather. Like I said before, I'm not really worried about it anymore. :wink:

Ya know, I think I spelled giant wrong the other day. lol I hate to make careless mistakes!! It's annoying. It's funny because sometimes I can spell long words, but then I forget how to spell little tiny words. I think it's because when I spell the long ones, I put a little thought into it, but when I spell the short ones, I usually just write them and don't even think about them because I know them so well. But then if I think about it, I get messed up. I'm like that when I play a song that i have memorized on the piano. I just have to play it and not think about the notes I"m hitting.

I'm sorry for giving you that stupid piece of info. LOL. Guess I just wanted to ramble like usual. :wink:

Okay, first off, you do help me out a lot wether you realize it or not. You are good at making me smile, and that's definately helping me!!

So, I'm not longer worried about all of the crap that I wrote on there. Just disregard it, and pretend you didn't read it, because it isnt' a big deal.

*big giant (note the correct spelling :wink: ) hugz* right back at ya!! If I ever meet you (though it's highly unlikely), I will have to give you a big giant hug. :)

again your not crazy but a doc doesnt sound like that bad an idea. (not ment to sound offensive)


No offense taken!! I probably wouldn't have been offended if you had said I was crazy and that I should check myself into a mental hospital immediately. lol But I"m not going to a doc. I don't need to.

*more hugs, because I love hugging!!*

Thanks, but I'm not going to a doctor. I don't really care if something's wrong with me or not. But thanks. :)
