Am I overreacting? Because I feel like I’m going crazy, I’m scared and I don’t know what to do.
Hi! My name is Robin (M14) and I’m sorry if this isn’t the correct subreddit for this or if it’s formatted kinda wonky!! so so so sorry and sorry if it’s really unprofessional and not Reddit story enough!!! But, I need help, advice, and it’s my first time on Reddit to be honest.. I’m just scared to tell anyone else in person.
Here’s what I wanna know:
Should I be as worried as I am right now, should I be as scared as I am right now? Because I’m scared shitless
A week prior to this I was in school, in class and I swear honest to god I just saw a woman standing by the door in the corner of my eye. And I blinked and she disappeared. I know she wasn’t real because she didn’t have a face, it was just blank. It was terrifying. I asked the person next to me if I saw someone at the door and they didn’t know what I was talking about, I don’t know if it’s because they were too focused on the lesson or not.
And it made me get so so paranoid.
The next time I had the class I was staring at the door the entire time. Then I kept hearing it, for context my school has a metal cage where we all put our phones in, and the cage is pretty close to the class I was in. So, you hear it open and close.
The problem is, I kept hearing it, back to back, for 10-20 minutes. I’ve asked any of my other friends if they’ve heard it that long, they’ve told me that they’ve only heard it around once per trimester. (We’re in trimester 3) But I kept hearing it back to back! Which wouldn’t make sense, why open and close it over and over when you could just do it once and get over with it! And I asked the person behind me, they said they couldn’t hear it, or at-least they only heard it once.
I was mostly scared because I couldn’t just leave my seat to go check the hall, plus the bathroom line was ridiculously long. And I couldn’t tell if it was real or not.
The NEXT NEXT time I had class, once again, carrying out my tradition of staring at the door. Then I saw something go by, a black blur. Too fast for normal. Then afterwards, I saw a teacher walk past. But it couldn’t have been the teacher! The teacher was distinguishable (and was walking at a normal pace), the blur wasn’t.
I visit my guidance counselor weekly (or at-least I’m supposed to, starting to feel more like every two weeks)
I know, I know, blah blah blah “don’t trust guidance counselors for shit!!” Blah blah
I told him this, he’s asked me if I’ve had a prior examples before this.
I did. Or at least I believe I do? These happened when I was younger (really not that long ago I guess??)
I don’t remember how old I was for this one, maybe around 9-12, I saw someone peeping through my living room window (I live in the third floor of my building and there’s no way to get up there, the windowsill is also pretty thin) there weren’t any eyes, no facial features, just a black head shaped blob. However, the head shape was pretty distinguished. Like if you saw that you would think it’s the top of a head. It didn’t scare me, more confused me.
Okay I lied, it did scare me a little ☹️
I don’t remember at what point did it go away.
Then I was 7-9 (probably 8), I saw a very tall black figure standing in the corner of my living room, it was nighttime, so there was a heavy shadow, but it was distinguishable, (mostly the head shape) I believe I told my dad, (who was there at the time) or I just sobbed and pointed at the corner. I don’t remember at what point it went away either.
I told him all of these, and he asked me if I took any medication.
I dont.
Then he told me probably the scariest thing ever,
He has to tell HIS supervisor (I have no idea who that would be) about this to understand further action.
Also,
They have to notify MY parents, to get ME a doctors appointment to see if I have any mental illness. (I have a shitty relationship with my mom and my dad is a worrywart)
Sooo yeah. Oh you think that’s it? ❌❌
There’s more.
So, I told my friends all this because I can’t keep my mouth shut for shit. And they told me “your cooked bro 💔” and said they’ll send me to a mental institution and now I’m scared shitless because I don’t WANNA BE IN A MENTAL INSTITUTION???
Not to mention some other kids found out and are now teasing me in non helpful ways.
For example:
I ask, “were the lights always on?” (I zoned out)
Other kid says, “Yeah they were always on.”
They weren’t always on, they were off earlier.
You could see how that isn’t helpful.
Anyways, that’s all!! Sorry for my little dump of random stuff, I’ll update if anything happens!! (If we can do that in this subreddit? Once again. I created an account JUST for this.)
