I myself in the earluwr stages about nine years in. That's what I remember now 30+ years later. I had these visions...whenever I was in the car (not driving) I would see little people like gnomes working or milling about in the median part of the highway. Thislasted for a few years. I've seen bugs, dark shadowy figures, movement of furniture all happening in plain view and always fleeting. But with such unease like it was pure evil rearing it's head. I used to be so scaeed of going to bed while my husband was away that I had my dad out a deadbolt lock on bedroom door and made my two children sleep in my bed. They at the time were about 7 or 8. Even today I see dark fleeting figures or fleeting bugs and I usually wonder if I'm losing it. I once took the driving wheel from my husbands hand because I in my mind Isaw a big house right in the middle of the road and I didn't want him to run into it. Of course all of this and many more things that have happened were conjured in my mind. But they are real at the time. I mostly live in fear of everyday happenings that's why I stay indoors tv blaring or music...so I don't have to think. And I feel safe sitting or lying down with a blanket or sheet covering my face. Cocooned comes to mind. Safer comes to mind. But I've had no hospitalizations, no real hallucinations etc for 15 years. But I take my depression, bipolar, anti psychotic, meds everyday. I would rather get used to taking the pills instead of living and feeling and seeing what I have in the past. I now just recently started a depressive state and the dark fleeting figures are creeping back in. I don't know exactly what set it off. But I see my psychiatrist in 2 weeks. We'll see what she thinks. I hope that the occurences don't stay long. Ive come to terms of feeling "normal" the last 20 years even though I'm emotionally trapped inside my body. I can deal with that most days..but being around people on a one to one basis causes fear to rear it's ugly head
