The Mirrors

I hate mirrors. There is something creepy about them. They don’t usually bother me but they are now. I keep seeing things coming out of them. Yes I am still taking my meds and did do an hour ago.

It seems you are a bit symptomatic now. Hope it goes away by itself soon, otherwise you will have to increase the dose of your meds.

When I was really young I was terrified of mirrors. But I would sit in front of them and just ramble on and on and freak myself out over how much mouth moved with the words. I don’t really look in mirrors anymore. Like I look at my hair or when I do my makeup rarely, but never really looking at myself. I think the whole idea of mirrors is weird. I just watched a documentary of a tribe in papa new guinea who saw a white man for the first time in their lives. They were so terrified but eventually got more comfortable. When the white man showed them a mirror, it sparked a lot of fear in them. Is interesting to think about.

Ugh SAME. Mirrors are the worst. When I’m at home I can’t sleep at night because I’m worried my reflection will crawl out and kill me when I’m not looking. And sometimes when I look at myself in the mirror it feels like it’s not my face. I used to think some kind of demon was possessing it.

I don’t look into mirrors very often because it could confuse me if I look into it for long. In order to have peace, I avoid mirrors as much as possible.

I get sooo tired of those faces that stare out of the mirror at me that I piss everyone around me off because I cover them up, as well as computer screens, the TV, pictures on the wall with glass, the microwave and oven,
It is sort of a portal to a different sort of time and place. Lately It seems to allow others from another distant future (and planet?) to appear, snitch something I’ve just touched, then take off with it for about a month? or so, then bring it back.

I really upsets me when I get caught between two mirrors facing each other. I have no idea why anyone would want to do that, but some stores do.

It makes me feel a bit bubble fuzzy when I get in between two mirrors. I usually need help getting out.

I don’t like being conscious of my shadow, or being able to see it. I feel as if it’s a separate entity. When I’m really symptomatic, I see myself from the outside, so I guess it’s part of that. When I’m well it’s comforting to see my shadow though because I know it’s really me, so I “become one” with the shadow lol.
My little sister had a mirror in her room and she said it was scary, but she didn’t know why. I took it down and put it in my room, and I didn’t like it either lol, so now it’s wedged between the wall and the dresser. There really is something to mirrors. I think we are beings that are meant to only see outward, and mirrors reverse that. + it’s just freaky to begin with
