Something Is Seriously Wrong With Me...

[ExoByte]

Something is really wrong with me lately, and things are really starting to get to me. For the first time in my life, I'm actually scared. For the past couple weeks, I've been feeling really weird. I always feel as if there is someone behind me, I always feel like I'm being watched. Im always cold, no matter what the temperature. Its weird there because I'll sweat, or know if it is hot. I'll feel the heat, but Im always chilled. I also think I'm seeing things. In the corner of my eye, Im always noticing something behind me. A dark figure. When I turn around, it dissapears. Im constantly hearing faint sounds, like voices, where ever I go, even with no one around. My dog is acting strange around me sometimes. Always there beside me, acting as if he were both comforting, and gaurding me. Whenever I notice this dark figure behind me, My dog goes nuts and starts barking. In the darkness of night, I think I see things moving around every where around me all the time. Here is what really gets me. I have 2 shadows. No matter where I am, no matter how the light strikes, I have 2 shadows, even when those around me only show one. Im not the only one who has noticed these things though. Though most people seem to ignore, or not notice it, others seem to be looking at me oddly. What the hell is wrong with me?

well, first you have to rule out if its just normal. Take your temperature, see if you have a fever or something. That would also explain your dog since they are sensitive to that sort of thing. The rest could just be paranoia. I have two shadows right now. They're my buddies =D. If not, and you keep feeling like somethings wrong goto a walk-in clinic or something and have them check you out. If not, well, try to leviatate something and see if you have the power to now =D

First of all. Controlling your fear of it is probably the most important thing you can do. Secondly, as cliché this may sound you should check for any chemical leaks in your home/room. Especially if you sleep near or under an air vent. Constant exposer to chemicals can really take an effect on the mind. It can cause people to feel paranoid and unconftable in certain locations. Some cases of paranormal senses can be explained by this. ( I watch GhostHunters so I learn from them. ) Also what you explained could possibly be an incounter with shadow people. I won't go much into details about that unless you have more info about it. (i.e. you see eyes in the shadow)

[Casualtie]

are you serious? shadow people? if your serious i wouldn't mind hearing a little more about it. send me a message. sounds like you've been watching too many ghost shows.

[fairytale complex]

yes, tell about the shadow people. i have an artist freind whose smart in a weird artist sort of way. he was telling me about how he stayed up for like three days and went crazy. he told me that after the first day the shadow people come, but not to worry because they cant hurt me. i wasnt sure if he was joking or serious.

If not, and you keep feeling like somethings wrong goto a walk-in clinic or something and have them check you out. [/b] I really don't think I'm sick, but I'm already ahead of you. I'm going tommorow to get checked. Might actually go to a hospital and run tests on my head. If not, well, try to leviatate something and see if you have the power to now =D [/b] Not yet Secondly, as cliché this may sound you should check for any chemical leaks in your home/room.

I've checked furnace, water heater, fireplace, other gas areas, and even for open bathroom chemicals. Nada. I checked around my vent, normal. Also what you explained could possibly be an incounter with shadow people. I won't go much into details about that unless you have more info about it. (i.e. you see eyes in the shadow) [/b] What it looks like to me is, say your walking around at night and you stand between 2 street lights. You can see your shadow on either side because of the way the light is hitting you. With me, say the sun is in front of me, I have my shadow behind me, and another, which looks like mine, but slightly different also out behind me. Its also much darker... its hard to look at. When I look directly into it, and focus on it... it feels like its closing in on me. The world around me kinda starts to zone out and I get kinda dizzy. Then I look away.

Amazing Don't be scared learn about it. When I was learning about AP there was something called a double and mindsplit, I think that is what your getting in the physical dimension. (I have no clue how) It is said that when you look at your physical body while in the astral dimension you get like a dizzy type feeling because your mind is processing a infinite view, meaning you see urself he knows you see him, and it goes back in forth but really your both people. Kind of like putting a mirror next through a mirror is infinite. The mindsplit part is your brain processes as both people and once in awhile you will be aware in your physical body and then aware in your astral body. That is what I think your having when you look at your 2nd shadow, maybe it is another part of your mind that can be seen in some form in the physical dimension. I for one used to have where I'd see movement in my vision when I'm not directly looking at that area. Like in the corner of my eye it would seem like someone is behind me or it seems like I heard something, it was hard for me to realize what was real and what wasn't. Try to study everything that is going on and would be nice to post how you think this happened and see what you can do with it, but try not to look at your second shadow, because it might be exactly like in a AP when looking at your other body for a long period of time.

[Casualtie]

i know close to nothing about astral project, but it sounds to me like your saying you can do it while you are awake and you eyes are working and your brain is processing what you are seing in both bodies? thats sounds really wierd. correct me if i'm wrong

I don't know about the two shadows stuff. I know that having two shadows is pretty common and has to do with how light is hitting you. But everything else you talked about sounded like you might have hypoglycemia. It means low blood sugar, but I think it involves a lot more imbalance than that. Most doctors don't know enough about it, and it is very underdiagnosed. I have it. I started really losing my mind when I was in my late teens, and everything got better once I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia and started treating it. I used to see shadow people some times. That is what happens when you have a minor, very quick hallucination of a black blur, and your mind interprets the abstract and gives you a concrete perception of what it was. They often seem to have a human like form because of that. They often happen in the corners of the visual field. Paranoia is a very common symptom of hypoglycemia. The feelings of coldness could be explained by it also. As for your dog, I think he is reacting to your paranoia and assuming something is wrong. I recommend the book Hypoglycemia: The Disease Your Doctor Won't Treat. That book saved my life. I disagree with its encouragement of megavitamin usage, at least for myself. Some people might need them, but they made me much more screwed up. The book suggests all kinds of ways to handle your eating, but in my case, all I ended up needing to do was cut out bleached carbohydrates, caffeine, and alcohol (which I screw up with from time to time, hopefully never again). By bleached carbohydrates, I am talking about white sugar/sucrose (And a lot of "brown sugar" is just white sugar died brown.), bleached wheat flour, and bleached rice. Any kind of wheat flour that isn't labelled "whole" or "unbleached" should be avoided. Most "wheat bread" is made of bleached flour that is mixed with other stuff so it doesn't look white. It is legal to call ANY bread made from wheat "wheat bread". It is a very evil gimmick. You might have to eat several snacks a day to prevent major blood sugar drops. You might not have hypoglycemia, but I bet you do. I highly suggest reading the book before taking any doctor's word for anything. I dealt with lots and lots of retards in white coats before I finally got to the bottom of things. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/155...TF8&s=books

I doubt its that, as there has been no sign of this before. Its only started happening very recently, but I'll definatly be sure to keep it in mind. I'll also be sure to bring it up at both the clinic, and hospital. I'll make sure they test for it. The 2 shadow deal is what really made me think it wasnt a sickness. I at first thought the second shadow was a hallucination and I was sick. I looked around, and I everyone else was normal. One shadow. But me, 2. And the second didnt look right, not only in its appearance, but that there was no source to create it. I looked around, everyone else had one. I stopped for a minute to "tie my shoe." And had my friend stand right were I just was, to see if it was unique to the path I was walking on. Nothing changed. He had one, I had 2. He didnt say anything. Then someone else I know, who happenes to be one of the ones looking at me oddly during class lately as well, unlike many others, says to me "Heh, look. Kevin has 2 shadows. Looks kinda weird though." Thats when it clicked to me, that it wasnt just in my head.

okay ya'll are gonna give me nightmares there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people there's no such thing as shadow people ^ mantra to ward off scary dreams

[arby]

hmm. heres a quick test you can do: take three desk lamps or at least movable light sources, put them in a triangle around you and turn them on. Have them the only thing lighting the room. Stand in the centre. How many shadows do you have now? =P

[ExoByte]

I'd try that... but I dont have 3 lamps

[kichigai]

are you serious? shadow people? if your serious i wouldn't mind hearing a little more about it. send me a message. sounds like you've been watching too many ghost shows. [/b] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_people There's only one ghost show I watch and I had my fair share of shadow people experience.

[arby]

I'd try that... but I dont have 3 lamps [/b] how bout flashlights? you could substitute flashlights for lamps.

If other people are seeing a "second shadow" Pray to God man... there's always that option, even if you don't believe him (which I would find very hard if you didn't considering you think you are possessed) There was a time... for about a week, after I had a few "OBEs", where something did not feel right when I was falling asleep. For some reason, I had a fear of falling asleep for a week's span. I never got around to knowing exactly what it was, but it just did not feel right. There was a few times where I was on the verge of falling asleep, and I would jolt awake scared with my heat beating really fast as if my sixth sense was detecting something bad. It would take me over 2 hours from laying down to finally pass out. [Note, I've had myself jolting awake when falling asleep, but that rarely ever happens to me, and there isn't any fear accompanying it when it happens] During the days also, especially when I thought about it (this could have been my mind playing tricks on here), it felt like something was glued to my spine, that I could not shrug off. I never had any bad dreams, or lucids, but I ended praying - I wasn't taking any chances even though I knew it could have just been my mind playing with me - asking him to fix the problem, and saying sorry for whatever I may have done wrong to possibly make those events start happening to me - and I really meant it because I really was scared. I felt a little better afterward, felt fine the next day, and then I took a month break from WILDing, and I've been fine since then [but I've also shifted my belief since then that OBEs and APing is the same thing as LDing], which got rid of my fear of things like this from having these very realistic OBEs. I've also had a very wierd SP experience recently, where I was barely concious. But I was hearing voices, and I think I was subconciously or barely conciously asking to I have no idea who, "can anything follow me back into the physical world?" and the reply I got was "no, only you have access to your body". I'm not sure why I asked this, but I guess it was something still lingering on the bottom of my mind, even though I now believe OBE=AP=Dream (but I don't believe that dreams I fake, I do believe in the possiblity of them being alternate dimensions/planes of existance). Overall, just try not think about it. Having it constantly on your mind (I know it's difficult to get rid of it) makes everything a lot worse than it should be. Your own subconscience will feed off your concious fear believe it or not, and it does a pretty damn good job of that.

[/b] A single drop of blood on a regular glucometer (which every hospital should have), is all that's needed to check your blood sugar. Go to your appt on an empty stomach so you know you're getting the lowest reading possible to see how low you're really getting (eating, or drinking anything besides water, will increase your blood glucose). A normal person's blood glucose will be around 100. Good luck

A normal person's blood glucose will be around 100. Good luck [/b] That will tell what his fasting blood glucose level is, which is not really enough. The book I recommended talks about that. To really get to the bottom of things, he needs a glucose tolerance test, which will involve a bunch of readings after he has been given glucose syrup. When I was tested, my fasting level was about 90, which is considered in "normal range". However, it dropped very quickly below 70 after an abnormal rise to close to 200. My blood sugar has been as low as 37, which would not be detected with a fasting reading. Exobyte, that stuff can get really bad after not being so bad earlier in life. A lot of people notice major differences just after puberty. I noticed a big problem when I was 17 and even more of one when I was 18. This is really worth checking out. And remember, a lot of doctors out there are going to run away from the idea. Good luck to you.

i read that wiki article and it was kind of disturbing. although, i'm sure shadow people are just going to pop up around me now just because i know they're there. or are they? can you read what i'm typing? are they going to mess with me? haha. but seriously i see them when i pee.

[EVIL JOE]

You could use lit candles as a light source too but I think that three candles lit up in a dark room would just add to the creepyness.

[Shadow Dreamer]

I get the feeling im been watched all the time when im in my room i have a shadow person as a roomate EDIT: Forgot to mension i sort of had a dream or maybe i was awake i dunno but i sat up right in my bed and saw human figure coming though my door and going straight for me i shouted out and it was vanished but i was awake and sitting up right so i asume it wasn't a dream it freaked me out for a while

[Bonsay]

All the things you mentioned I have had for all my life, except the dog thing. I like dogs.

[Keeper]

okay, I'm going to give two posabilities. One is scientific, rational, and will give a posably medical explination the other one is religious. first, it could be that you have scetsofrinia. I didn't spell that correctly, but im sure you get the word. It is NOT, as some people belive, multipul personality disorder. It is when you have orditory and visual hullucinations (when you see and hear, and sometimes "feel" things). second, you could be either possessed or followed by a demon. I can hear people laughing at me as we speek. Try this: ask someone if they can see your "shadow". If they can, then you are being trailed by a demon. If not, is is LIKLEY that your scitso, but it dosn't rule out the demon theory. If your up to it, Look at the shadow and say (i dont care if your not Christian, this is how its doen) "In the Name of Jesus, I comand you to leave me and troubly me no more! By his Blood, you have no power over me, I am His, not yours. The Fathers Son has set me free, and you can have no part of me. Pray about this, and good luck. I'm pray for you to. P.s., if I'm right, be prepeard to comand him to stop in Jesus mane if he tries to attack you.

[Jimmie Lynne]

scetsofrinia = schizophrenia Yeah. . .this was the first thing that crossed my mind when I read this post. The topic starter is just the right age for it too. Schizophrenia tends to set in between the age 15 and 25. . . I dated a guy when he was 19. . . TOTALLY normal. Two years later. . . he's completely nuts and has to keep himself shut away in his house cause of his paranoia.

[ExoByte]

I would've thought so too. My first inclinations were either: A: Im sick and hallucinating or B: Im going insane/schizophrenic. However, once someone else pointed out to me that they as well noticed this second shadow... well thats when things really weirded me out.
