I have been posting on this board for a while. I usually hang out on the Universal/IOA sections because I know those parks more. Anywho, I have recently been somewhat mean and revenging towards people and I just wanted to apologize for it. I guess I have felt so much rejection in my life that I am so used to it, so I think therefore everyone is out to get me.

About 2 years ago I had a really rough time with my friend basically realizing I was too weird for them. I basically spent a lot of time alone. When you're alone, a lot of really crazy and distorted thoughts cross your mind.

**If you're not a Religious person don't read any further**

I was raised Catholic and spent all of elementary school, middle school and high school going to Church. Once I got to college, I didn't want to go, because I honestly hated it. My parents were respectful of that, knowing I had to make my own decisions in life. Anywho, fast forward to 2 years ago where I felt really alone, and I had developed a dark side to myself.

**Scary Moments Follow**
I remember VIVIDLY 2 distinct dreams. I remember falling asleep one night in my bed, just like normal. I remember waking up in the middle of the night, and looking around my room, and everything looked completely normal. Now, I don't know if it was a dream, or if I actually woke up. Anywho, I casually looked to my door, and standing there was a tall, about 8 foot tall dark figure. It resembled a human wearing a dark cloak and I could not see its face. I stared at it for a good second before my body reacted to it. I reacted, jolting and very very scared. The image vanished.

Now I don't know if it was me waking up from a dream, or if there was something actually there. I had another dream shortly after that... I think maybe a week later, where the same thing happened. I woke up, my room looked completely normal and looked at the foot of my bed, and the face was the foot of my bed. Same thing, where I startled myself and either I woke up or was awake the whole time. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep after those past two times, and cried myself calm again.

Anywho, I recently have been having a really good week, and my girlfriend who is very religious has been seeing me a lot, and I think the good that God has given her has been having its affect on me too. I feel like something was feeding off the fear and anger that I had 2 years ago, and maybe was trying to get me to follow it. I don't know, but those 2 experiences were the scariest I've ever had in my life. Try to imagine the most frightened you've ever been in your life, and feel that intensity and you're able to view the fear in front of your face. You feel like you're about to die. I was in disbelief when I saw those 2 images. It's like, I was too frozen to even move. It was a full 1 or 2 seconds of no movement on my part before my body reacted and the images vanished (or I woke up... I still can't tell which one it was).

I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I don't want to live like that anymore. I feel like part of it was acting through me. My guess is that it knew I was vulnerable and would use my weaknesses against me. For anyone I've hurt, I'm sorry. I know this is only online, but I love posting on here, and I do it often.

This experience, as well as the one 2 years ago has shown me that there is much more to our life than just us. Our purpose on this Earth is much more amazing than anything we could possibly imagine.
 
....I'm sure that eventually, those whom you've hurt will come to see this post and find it in their hearts to forgive you...:hug:
 
Sounds like Harry got there just in time and used his wand on those dementors...glad you feel better. Maybe you should lay off the butterbeer before bed.
 
I have never read anything you have posted that was mean or offensive, but I understand what you're saying..

I have made mistakes in the past and have worked hard to overcome them.. I have apologized both privately and publicly here on the DIS to those who were undeserving of my comments..:guilty:

I didn't have the type of "realization" that you did (your dreams), but something very significant did happen in my life that prompted me to change for the better.. I have been very, very happy since then - even "peaceful", if you will - and I hope you will find that as well..

I know first hand that it's not easy to make a public apology like this, but in doing so, moving forward will bring you to a much better place..:hug:
 

I too am glad that things are Better for you. May you have continued Goodness in your heart and share that with those around you!
 
Well I don't remember every reading any posts of yours that were mean, but it's nice that things are going well and you're feeling more hopeful.
 
:hug::hug: I've had dreams like that before, where a dream is imprinted over the world around me. I can get up and speak and move around but the nightmare is still there, I can see it and hear it and sometimes even FEEL the nightmare (creature from The Ring pulling on my legs as she crawled up my bed) but I can also see and hear and feel the real world along side the dream. The whole experience is beyond terrifying and my screams and movements have scared the crud out of my DH and kids more than once. These experiences are supposedly a form of night terrors according to my Dr's and Neurologists who all assured me they are only a problem if they happen when I'm fully awake, which was a huge relief for me because it's only ever happened when i wake up from sleeping in the dead of night. In my case they were brought about by severe trauma and can show themselves if i am under a great deal of stress, I guess some trauma never really goes away.

Just try to fill your head with happy thoughts before bed, read happy books, watch sit-coms and avoid anything negative in any form at bedtime. You'll be ok:hug::hug:
 
I appreciate what the OP said. It is always helpful to apologize when it is appropriate to do so.
 
It sounds like you experienced sleep paralysis. It is very common and many people experience it at least one or twice in their lifetime. I unfortunately experience it several times a month. After learning about it, I have become less fearful when it happens. Just type it into google and you can find lots of information.

I agree, that's exactly what it sounds like. I have only had this happen twice in my whole life (poor phamton!:hug:), and it's absolutely terrifying. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Good luck with all you are going thru, OP. I have not read anything by you at all, I don't think. But if it helps, I have made a total and complete idiot of myself on these boards. I mean, it was bad. I should have been kicked off. I was going thru some really bad stuff at home and work, and was in no emotional state of mind to be posting. I got really defensive, took everything personally and basically blew up at everyone. I guess my point is, you are not the first, and you wont be the last, to post something on here that you regret. I've just tried to wipe the slate clean for myself and learn not to post when I am upset.
