How do you know when something has happened to someone dear to you???

Question

Just now, my heart started racing, and I was like, "OMG! What could've happened to my mom?!"

Answer 1

I feel panicky & I sense danger & the hair on the back of my neck stands up.   & their name pops in my head.    You had better go see about your mom & get off this line.

Answer 2

You can cause yourself a lot of stress giving into these feelings. I have panic attacks...and I do know that there's a difference. I could be reading something & get to a certain passage & my heart would race. I know now that you should pay attention to what you read then.(I know some others will disagree with this.) Then there are times I have panic attack..usually brought on by a memory or something stressful ....or sometimes just because I'm  under stress. What you should do is calmly try to get hold of the person . Tell yourself you're just imagining it until you know the truth. You can really never tell premonitions except by hindsight. Mothers go through this a lot. Sometimes it's intuition..sometimes a premonition..sometimes just a motherly obsession about  the safety of their children.Guess it can happen in reverse too. Like the other poster..I made a fool of myself lots of times over things like this. Best to keep it to yourself...and just check in with them. (Although...one time I was visiting in another town & got knocked out in a car wreck..and my son had just had a dream that I had died...which he told me after I told him about the wreck.)

Answer 3

every once in a while, my boyfriend and i (across town from each other) will wake up at the same time in the middle of the night and text each other...

i.e.... i will wake up and won't be able to go back to sleep for a bit... and i won't be awake long before i will get a text saying "hey i can't sleep... what's up?"

and i've heard that if you ever get the feeling to pray for someone, you should, because they might be "calling out" for help =)

Answer 4

I usually get a phone call.

Answer 5

instinct shes your family you would probably no anyway

Answer 6

I agree with the others who say you will know when you hear something. If you feel something is wrong then pick up the phone and call her. Or drive by to check on her but get off the computer and find out.

Answer 7

feel it in your gut cause its your family and the are close to you

Answer 8

I have had this happen to me alot!!!! I now recognize that its only a panic attack, but @ the time I was having them- you better not have suggested that! I was certain without a DOUBT that demise was near for my son. OMG. I made a comple a** out of myself for that. I cant tell you why that happened. It happend many times since. Please try to call a loved one when this happens. Dont be ashamed to tell them what your feeling. I hope you do this because if you panic as I did, its a very unpleasent feeling---crushing feeling of doom. made me cry.

Answer 9

premonitions

Answer 10

You may have stepped on a crack.

Answer 11

You know something bad has happened when you find out something bad has happened.

If you heart races and you are concerned for your mother, then find out if she's OK.  Chances are she is.  If so, then why did your heart start racing?  Can you accept that perhaps there wasn't a paranormal source for your anxiety?

Answer 12

well she may had won the lottery-$99.99. 72 trillion

ask her and see for yourself.

Answer 13

See! Its natural. When sm!'s dear to you, u've got a strong bond b/w ur own and that person's heart that makes the hearts one. So if the other person suffers, howcome not you??? That's whats called the 'sixth sense'
