Hello all, so i am having trouble getting to sleep because I feel convinced that i am being watched- or that there's some bad spirit in my bedroom with me. I'm scared to go to sleep because i've been having a lot of nightmares recently and I feel now that this bad spirit may be contributing to these horrible nights. i am almost 4 months pregnant and am off my meds completely and i am not sure if this feeling is simply related to bipolar or if there really is a ghost.... i feel crazy... has anyone else ever experienced this?

hi nice lady

http://www.amazon.com/White-Sage-Pil...dp/B007SSWAIM/

order or go to the store get one of these candles and burn it so the scent fills the room(white sage)

now before u light it think about protecting the kiddie in belly ...just hold the candle in your hands for a short while thinking about that and all of the good/loving things u can then light the candle (do this every time u light it)

anything in the area bad spirits or anything like that this is poison to them they will run or die .......do this right before u go to sleep and your dreams should be ok the feeling u have will go away some too ...........if the feeling comes back yell out and i can tell u a simple warding charms u can put up

more in heaven and hell then dreamt of by man ,,,and given we only see in a very small factions of the light spectrum ....it was best to learn a few things from several cultures

oh by the way doing this to a sage candle is also a beacon too (it is all good what ever u want to call them they are friendly and since u are asking for protection that is what they provided )

I don't mean to scare you but I was very psychotic from the beginning of one of my pregnancies and it became worse as my pregnancy progressed. I was even taking medications. I would relay this to your pdoc as soon as you can, watch your sleeping habits, and have someone in that you trust help to monitor your thoughts. Stay safe.

I have had times where i have had those thoughts and feelings. It is awful. It really feels like there is someone (or entity) in the room. It freaked me out. I was very religious at the time and thought they were demons so I prayed against them, which did not help, in fact it made me more paranoid. This passed with time and treatment. Mine was related to both PTSD and Bipolar.

I have had this exact experience several times. I have been on my hands and knees pleading with the Lord to take a spirit from me only to find out later that these spirits were actually paranoia. It is scary stuff and it sucks!

On a separate note, to this day I still struggle with whether or not it was paranoia and not ACTUALLY demons. It just felt so real.

Yeh, I still think they are demons some times and it terrifies me but then I remind myself that they don't exist and even if they did they can do me no harm. I have had many hallucinations regarding demons and spirits of all sorts. It is hard not to believe they are real but when meds make them go away it makes me think they are not real.

I once slept with a knife under my pillow for several months, and then had to sleep on a couch because that way it couldn't sneak up behind me. I have some things in my past related to being stalked. I think I was quite depressed at the time, too.

Try imagining a white light surrounding you, or your favorite protective force (if you're not religious then go for whatever works) standing guard over you.
Thanks for this!

Sometimes I still have to go to sleep with the light on because of things like this. I'm 32 years old.

I imagine a blazing white light around me for protection, a pentacle and a white light over where I live if I'm afraid of outside forces (suddenly afraid of a home invasion for no particular reason, for example), or my personal favorite, the Archangel Michael standing guard. He's the one with the swords.

Another thing is that bad spirits feed off of fear. Negative emotions can be fueled by more negative emotions. Maybe the nightmares you are having is a manifestation of those emotions (anxiety, etc). And maybe the bad spirit you feel watching you is that emotion itself, i.e. it's taking "form" because you are unable, for whatever reason, to identify where the emotion(s) is/are coming from.

I don't really know, it's just a theory. I've actually never thought about it in that way until just now.

What are your nightmares about?

Topamax, 50mg -- still figuring this one out.

MDD, but possibly have some form of Bipolar Disorder. Then again, I could be paranoid . . .

Well, at least I still have my sense of humor.

How crazy,I slept with a knife also. A big knife. It was when my PTSD was in full swing. I remember thinking nobody would ever hurt me again and I was willing to kill to prevent it. I was really sick at that time

Darn right, nobody will ever hurt you again.

It's possible I have some CPTSD traits stemming from the experience I referenced, but it also flared up when I was depressed, so I'm not entirely sure what's to blame. I never even realized that what I was doing was unusual. By day I went to work and lived as usual, but by night, I felt so frightened.

There were times I was deeply afraid to go into an empty room that I couldn't see into because I was scared I'd turn a corner and the stalker would be there. I still struggle with those fears and not just when I'm depressed. Again, bipolar or possible CPTSD, I don't know but it sucks.

hahaha velouria

i spent about 7 years reading all the religions even the dead ones killed off by the roman church in the 1200 1300 i do not understand it all but the basic idea is all the same god different name different path to same place

as for angels since getting our freewill they are not allowed to act overtly but they can act in the back ground ....that random thought to call mom/dad is angel ....or the one that i should put on seat belt this time ....or go left this time instead of right

the other thing i know each time u pray u do not get the one u ask for but create one for the need

the trick i showed her was spirits and older things the sage is a possitive element combining that with fire makes a simple spell with her charging with own energy asking for protection of a child (one of the strongest out there it is primal) it will be a beacon call to anything with the matching energy .....pregnant ladies kick butt when it comes to this the sheer raw emotion it why ladies always make the strongest psychics(and i think the mid brain in them 30% larger then males helps too ....lets the 2 loops function as one better)

That's why I am not sleeping tonight. That and because I don't need sleep, as I feel great! I have my pets with me in my bed to help me stay calm because dogs and cats can feel them before we can, so I know I am paranoid when they don't flinch. But the light is staying on tonight.

I don't know if this helps but before I went to the hospital the first time, I was always paranoid like that to the point where I thought there was a demon possessed me.

But if you're afraid. I recommend getting your house blessed. It should help.

I no longer believe in ghosts...as long as no one brings it up or watch paranormal TV shows. Haha!

nice person

white sage candle .........do the same thing i told the other lady and u will be fine ...anyone in the world can do that trick it is kiddie skills

the energy u put in the candle is release the smell goes everywhere attaching to it leaving a little oil making that area safe from anything that does not match the energy.....sage it self is a poison to most nasties (it written in almost every culture) it has purifying powers to it makes the area clean

if your doggies bark at shadows or something u can not see after that then that is the time to call in someone with skills find the hiding spot and remove it sometimes it can be a items sometimes it can be a place once u know where it retreats too tell the person u want a devils trap/box ....after that u got it caught and can leave it bound in there burred in a church yard
Thanks for this!

I have always felt from time to time that people were watching me. It was really bad when I lived with my parents during child hood. I had even invented this kind of character, like I believed I knew what he looked like, and one day, I'd get that feeling, like I was being watched, and turn, and there he would be. Sometimes it would get so creepy that I'd go stand outside of the house and just watch the house. It went away when I moved to New York, but still sometimes I get it, more sense I moved into an actual house. I believe there are spirits in this house, I talk to them sometimes, just to not be scared of them. I feel that they have mainly gone away now. Anyhow, I definitely know how you feel. Is this a bipolar thing? A kind of paranoia, or an expression of bipolar paranoia? I don't know, this mind is the only one I've got, I don't know what normal is. :-/
