Am I going crazy?

Question

I sense things that other people can't. In my old home, we had this hallway that scared the c**p out of me. I would get chills and the feeling that someone was watching me. I'd look, but there's be nothing there. On several occasions, I'd find my cats staring intently at the same spot I had just looked away from. I get random chills at times, and the hair on the back of my neck feels like its standing up.

I can usually tell when people have bad intentions too. I'll dislike that person and I won't want to be around them for no reason. I'm also very sensitive to peoples emotions. I'll sit and talk to them, and if they're upset i get upset. If they're happy, I'm in a better mood.

Am I going insane?

Answer 1

I am not qualified to tell whether or not you are suffering from mental illness.  If you want an honest assessment of that you should see a professional personally.

You sometimes feel like someone is watching you, but no one is?  There is nothing paranormal about that.  You're sensitive to the feelings of those around you?  There is nothing paranormal about that either.

It sounds like you occasionally have peculiar emotional experiences.  There is no reason to assume these subjective events are paranormal in nature.

Answer 2

no its sort of normal for some people its just that u mite be afraid theres something there and if u think that for ages then you will get scared and look but there will be nothing there

ur not going insane dont worry

Answer 3

may be. or it could be that you are extremely sensitive. did you ever get surgery where you needed to have any metal plates put in? if so it could be that this is hitting a nerve and you can now feel slight magnetic changes in the core of the earth and/or you can feels the effects of solar flares. these flares go off all the time and if you can sense them they might make you feel like your crazy. try traveling a little bit. both location and elevation. any better? then you just found out whats wrong not how to fix it. also try taking iron pills (you can get them at any over the counter medicine place) better or worse (ps dont take to much and if it does get worse see a doctor) well either way see a doctor. just in one you will have padded walls. also i might point out its a good sign your asking your self if your crazy. means your less likely to be.

Answer 4

maybe yes but maybe no,some people can sense ghost due to their strong sixthense,mayby u r one of them!

Answer 5

You may be overly sensitive like the others have said.  Cats are curious creatures and they will stare toward what you are looking at. They also like to watch things we cannot see very well like dust bunnies. Reminds me of an episode of Sabrina where Salem sat for hours staring at dust bunnies and got Sabrina to do the same.

Like someone else said you are a sensitive person and that is not bad in itself, but it seems to be a problem for you right now. Maybe you should see a therapist about this and he or she may be able to help you overcome this. There are good medications out now that can help people. This is meant to help. Nothing wrong with seeking help in times of distress and you sound distressed.

Answer 6

You are not insane...you are a woman using her intuition, that's all.

A female that is highly in-tuned to the spiritual side of life - yes.

Insane - no.

Answer 7

maybe you have imaginations or kuz you sensitive too but what if that house was hunted before you got there?

Answer 8

no your not. your what people call a sensitive. their like people who are extremely sensitive to their environment. they sense things other folk might not. they can even pick up on people's emotions and intentions. i hope this helped in some way.

Answer 9

It's called being an Empathetic. You sense the feelings of others. Hopefully you won't run into any "insane" people or you might pick up on their feelings too.

Answer 10

It's listed in the Bible.

It is called 'the Gift of Discernment'.

Really p*sses people off when they realize their white lies don't work on you doesn't it?

Guess what? You make evil people very uncomfortable when they are in line at the checkout counter. Without even looking at them some people want to make you put on a raincoat to keep their crud away from you.

Stay in in the Light, the gift works both ways..

Answer 11

no ur not...ur just a little paranoid. u have to look at ur life and see what is causing u to be like this. r u having trouble with the people u live wit?

i dont belive in being able to see the dead...but u might because of all the Sylvia Brown shows u watch....but those are not real.

dont freak out and try to occupy urself wit other things when u start to get chills. OR JUST WEAR A JACKET

Answer 12

Cats see the things in different colours than us. For ex. they see the white egg in red colour. So it is possible that your cat was seeing something normal which is different for her. Also, in extremely calm environment our brain plays tricks with us. As it does not receive stimulees (or percentage becomes less in certain places) from the environment.

Answer 13

No I don't think your going insane (or you could just have paranoia). I just think you perceive the world differently then everyone else. I don't think you think your insane either b/c if that were the case you would have placed this question under mental heath rather then Parapsychology. I just think your unsure and curious--maybe you should find someone to talk to...

Answer 14

You are fine, I used to be sensitive and hated it. I learned to block out all emotions.

Answer 15

No you are not going crazy.  You have a gift.  You can always set boundaries with the spirits and tell them to go away.   However, if you can develop your gift, you could help a lot of people.  Its your gift and your choice.  For more info see below

From the www.nasc.org :

Spiritual Mediumship

A medium is one whose organism is sensitive to vibrations from the Spirit World and through whose instrumentality, intelligences in that world are able to convey messages and produce the phenomena of Spiritualism. The phenomena of Spiritualism consists of:

prophecy, clairvoyance, clairaudience, gift of tongues, laying on of hands, healing, visions, trance, apports, revelations, raps, levitation, automatic and independent writing and painting, photography, materialization, psychometry, direct and independent voice, and any other manifestation which proves the continuity of life.

"The office of mediumship is to bless humanity, to enable the race to overcome conditions of matter sufficiently to make such the servant rather than the master of intelligent beings, to enable it to guide (through intuition) the individual for their own and others good." Mary T. Longley from "Teachings and Illustrations As They Emanate From The Spirit World."
