I'm not going to get into it, but there was no way I could tell anyone what was going on with me, and they just brushed it off as nightmares and "normal" little kids fears. From the start I already believed that nothing I said was worthy, and my parents worked a lot, my mom was away tons of times, so when she came back I didn't want to be a burden, or make her think I was "weird" for what I would have told her.

My belief system is all messed up and I'm still figuring it out, so I'm not sure if I truly felt entities, or if it was hallucinations. It may have even been a mix of both. My many lines of ancestors (I'm mixed all the way back, so I have a lot of cultural bg) believed in very similar things to what I experienced as well. So it's really hard to say.

I do think I hallucinated and had delusions. There was this one thing, when I was in like 2nd grade or something, that started out as a delusion- a strong feeling of a malevolent presence, and eventually when I'd go to sleep I'd start seeing people standing outside of my 1st story bedroom window, and I'd see them in my closet. Occasionally I'd go up to my parents room and sleep with them, but it would get so bad that apparently I'd end up huddled in the corner of their room (I don't remember this, though).
Now, there was history of many deaths near that house and the houses on the same street because of deep historical significance, so I'm not sure if it was me seeing entities or hallucinating.

But I did see really big, round, black squirrels that were the size of balloons that no one saw, and I saw another animal-like thing that may have also been an entity (I've been researching it recently).
Around 3rd grade is when I could physically feel everyone's stares on me, and heard everyone talking about me when my back was to them. I would be so paranoid, but being bullied might have been a stressor of my psychosis.

I've heard whispering, people laughing at me, and weird voices that feel like deities or entities ever since I can remember, and I never could tell if it was my imagination, if it was coming from me, or someone else. I still can't, to be honest.
Also I did occasionally hear music, but it was music I've never heard before.

I definitely knew something was "wrong" or different back then, and I never understood what it was until I figured out how to use a computer and did some research. When I started telling my family, they never believed me because childhood schizophrenia is "rare". I don't know if I even had that or if the diagnosis changes when you become an adult. But I definitely had some pretty strong psychotic symptoms.
