I feel this goes here

[agile totem]

ive been very hallucinogenic lately. Ive had hallucinations since i was... young ig. Their starting to get the better of me. I keep on seeing black figures with weird smiles and stuff out of the corner of my eye, sometimes i see two. I also see snakes and spiders(two things im scared of) and skinwalkers of my dogs. I keep telling people im afraid of the dark, im not. My hallucinations are the things im scared of, they occur more in the dark. I have no idea how to cope with this and whenever i try to sleep i cant because i see them. I also hear things but not as much as i see things

"Remember, your fear is the only one who caused you to experience hallucinations, tricking you into believing there are real monsters who crawled under your bed or hid inside the closet. However, fear is preventing you from realizing that whatever you have seen is a made-up horror story that was created by the fear."

[slender night]

"Fear is what pretends to protect us from loss, grief & big consequences. The masks we wear are the ones who gaslighted us, made us lose our minds, and whispered to us that we are nothing and we have no choice."

So you have to ask yourself... Who do you want to be in charge? The thoughts that push you to risk so you can live a more meaningful life? Or the fears that say they're keeping you safe while robbing you of experience?

But we can't very well abandon fear. It would be unwise to discard all of our self preservation after all, and fear is as valid a human experience as any other.

So what do we do with fear? You walk with it. You take it wherever you go, but it never controls you. You heed it, but it is one thought among many that gives you counsel.

You take fear by the hand, and in doing so, you fear nothing.

I'm back now. I'll sort it out. So look, you need to pay attention to what your body is trying to warn you about. People like you have distorted, negative ways of thinking about themselves and the world around them that can happen automatically and come seemingly out of nowhere.

Of course, we often become agitated and terrified since life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.' Even then, people want security, structure, and control over their future, despite them overestimating the influence that their behavior exerts over uncontrollable outcomes.

While we may not wish to acknowledge it, uncertainty, stress, and the other negative things are a natural and inevitable part of life. Very little about our lives is constant or totally certain, and while we have control over many things, we can't control everything that happens to us.

Therefore, your mind tightly holds you hostage unknown to you, keeping you locked in a correctional facility of gloominess even when there is nothing pressuring you from the outside. But you found me, and I lead you to the shortest path between two ideas, which is often the courage to question the map you were handed.

Hear me out. Grappling with doubts, uncertainty and fear is an act of courage. True strength lies in embracing loneliness, failure and chaos head-on---not alone, but with support from those who care for you.

"There are other ways you can do anything. Believe that you can embrace loneliness, failure and chaos that will help you make progress, build resilience, and experience peace in your entire life."
"Remember that there is reason to do anything. Loneliness is the body's way of calling out for healing, and connection with people and the world around you. When we fail, we build mental and emotional fortitude. Failure forces us to adapt, reassess our strategies, and strengthen our determination. Resilience is one of the most important traits for achieving long-term success, and it can only be built by experiencing setbacks and learning how to move forward despite them. And also, "Embracing Chaos with a Smile" encourages you to face life's obstacles with courage, optimism, and an unwavering smile.

i get that, but i didnt just watch a scary video and see figures the rest of my life when i was a fetus. i constantly feel like im being watched, i feel like a puppet not a puppeteer. i cant let myself be in charge because i cant always look behind me. I never feel im mature, in charge, or anything like that. if thats what you mean, i cant find your meaning easily, but i know its something like that.

[slender night]

"I definitely understand your point. Remember that it is much beneficial to remind yourself that being watched by someone does not exist within your mind anymore. It's merely your body telling you what is going on here.
