I always thought that my ways were normal.
I was into spirits and the paranormal since I was a kid.
I always suffered from panic attacks, spiritual grandiose delusions, depression, fear of the dark, fears, paranoia, night terrors, and obsessions.
I finally knew that I was different and not like others, the day I came down from a very long chronic psychosis pretty late in my life.
I lived with psychosis and anognosia for most of my life - only pretty recently I have been grounded in reality
I used to hallucinate heavily as a child and feel spirits and energy everywhere. I particularly saw demons and didn’t sleep most nights. My parent was very religious so she kept insisting I was encouraging evil entities and they were real. She even used to lock me in my room because she was scared. Everyone knew I was wrong since I was a baby and I was diagnosed as autistic until I was older and then as schizophrenic. I was terrified as a child but I grew to understand they weren’t real and my mother was quite sick as well.
