Excuse me!

I was not doubting this was happening, i merely offered an extra option as in a scenario such as this it may indeed be helpfull and to ignore it could be harmfull. You obviously have no intentions of looking at what is known to the world of science as to be what might be causing such happenings when it is the first place one should start then via process of elimination you get down to the real nitty gritty. I find your attidude to rather limited although you claim to question everything it is clear you are not open to real world solutions. If you doubt that people have mental illness thats fine, but it is wrong of you to deny somebody just a little bit of information that may help them in the future.

I have been hearing "voices" since I have been a small child. For a very long time I thought it happened to everyone they just didn't talk about it. As I became an adult the voices became more clear like the calling of my name. Sometimes it was like someone was right in my face using a firm voice. As time went on I thought I might has a serious problem but figured it just went along with the other strange things that happen to me. Let's just say I personally have no doubt what-so-ever that there are ghosts/ spirits or as I like to call them energies. Although I do believe in God I have no religion because I don't agree with them, to much negativity is created from them. That's my right to feel that way, yes? I have been through just about everything including being touched...for example feeling like I have been punched, pushed, hair pulled and so on. I have even had a spontaneous OBE and after that I started having weird visions as well as hearing other noises like someone walking or scuffling across the floor. May sound odd but it's very true.

*My hubby is an atheist so you know I have heard all the crap about being paranoid and seeking professional help..ect,ect.*

Now, I became a vegetarian almost a year ago and for a few months these occurrences stopped completely. The last few months have been like a true test on just how much I can personally take without thinking I'm nuts. I hear a lot of chattering from nowhere, the energies are appearing more solid, I hear so many strange things like hovering, people running up and down the stairs and even the feeling of being watched more intensely. Honestly I put it in the typical house haunting scenario since I have been dealing with that since the earliest age I can remember. I have to add the feeling I have had since my OBE 5 years ago that something is coming has turned into something is here and it is HUGE. I have been feeling that more and more over the last 3 months. To me it's more of a waiting game now.

Also, my daughters became vegetarians as well about 8 months ago, ages 8 and 13. They have come to me several times in the last few months asking me what I wanted because they hear me calling their names (never at the same time) when I wasn't calling for them and no I don't talk about these things with them unless they come to me with questions and just so you know I refuse to lie to my kids about anything always keeping in mind what's age appropriate.

There is just so much I can add on these topics and it's very rare I feel the urge to respond to these threads since I prefer to stay as silent as I can while absorbing all the info. But, I am very happy I saw this thread and if anything changes I'll be sure to post. Something is definitely up and in more then one way. It's just something I feel deep within.

Has anyone been watching "Fringe"?
One of their main plot points is that the walls between dimensions are weakening.
I know it's been brought up here many, many times that maybe the media uses TV shows, movies etc. to get us ready for something.
When I saw the original post, "Fringe" just leapt to mind.

Of course there is also the reverse possibility that the writers cruise the boards looking for possible ideas for plots.

Hmmm...well although the manifestation has not been exactly as described here, this thread did hit close enough to home for me to finally set up a Username and become an identified user as opposed to anonymous lurker.

The theme that strikes me the most, is the fact that everyone on here has noticed a change recently. With it all hitting around the same time frame...middle to late march.

Personally, around the end of march I started getting caught with what I could best describe as serious anxiety attacks...with physical attributes; Cold shivers and tingles, "creeping" sensations in my mind (even thought thats debateable as a physical issue), stomach issues, serious teeth sensitivity, etc.

At the time it was so startling to me I tried to find all sorts of external factors in my environment. I tried to put it on job stress. I tried to put it on economic and world events turmoil. Close friends being stressed and me absorbing it. My own methods of self medication.

As I went down the list, (and continue to) and tried to mitigate, cope and adjust all the contributing factors, I have so far come up empty. And believe me when I say I have worked very hard since April to make some significant changes in both my environment and my way of thinking and living, but again...to know real avail.

Reading others experiences have made me more convinced as to the individual level of conciousness and subconciousness that we are all in. I see some of the experiences others have had here and think not...."wow that happened to that person? they must be crazy" Rather I find myself thinking more about my own psyche and what blockers and filters I have in my own mind that may be preventing me from getting a stronger "signal", for lack of a better term.

Again...the theme here has been the change to the pysche and perceptions that has been very identifiable to those experiencing it.

As far as my own theory as to the cause, I believe it has a lot to do with the ElectroMagnetic Field of the earth, and how little we understand the effects of same. The possibility of another "spiritual" or non physical dimension very close to our physical dimension is being accepted more and more by mainstream scientists. Maybe the EMF around the earth plays a bigger part than we know to the "separation" of the two worlds, and disruptions and changes to the field can thin the barriers of the mind that prevent us from seeing or feeling different things. Or maybe thin the barriers in general...its all very difficult to articulate without feeling like I am about to step off into the abyss.

And now re-reading this all before I post, I feel an urge to delete it. Like maybe I am crazy.

But then I think about maybe just 1 other person seeing what I have written and maybe feeling just a little bit less crazy themselves, and thats what will help me hit that submit button.

Thanks to all that have posted so far, and for managing to pull me out of the shadows. Both literally and figuratively.

I dont think anyone was doubting mental illness to be real...but rather allowed the lead way for others that those who posts such experiences have already done the 'I am not going crazy' checkup on themselves. I for one am a student of Psychology...and I appreciated the assumption that I wasnt going to taken as a lunatic in this thread....I dont think the poster intended for such a comment to be taken as offensive but yet only stating guidelines they wanted to keep in the thread. I didnt see a 'attitude' as you described it put a 'sticking up for the posters' that may come to this thread.

Just adding thoughts, I dont think there is any need for anyone to feel as if they have offended or are being offended. We all have thoughts on the matter and I agree all thoughts should be well noted along with respect to each poster.

I think your posts on mental illness is well noted, but doesnt need repeated over and over like in other threads such things get repeated. Hopefully it wont happen to this thread.

Just thoughts

I've experienced similar phenomenon. For me it's more or less a coalition of external noises in such a way that could be interpreted as a voice(s) or even music. I recognized my ability to influence these experiences so I understand the experiences to be quite personal.

Words are generally not heard, but the feelings conveyed are. The full range of emotions can be triggered by this 'noise'. Every once in a while words come in clear but I recognize that it's just my unconscious mind.

I understand the experiences to be a dialog of sorts between the conscious and unconscious minds. Perhaps it's just easier for us to communicate between the different areas of the mind by externalizing the information.

It is really interesting how many people have been hearing their name called out on this board.

I've had the someone calling my name thing. I'm a meat eater. I'm not understanding why this would be associated with vegetarians and not include some meat eaters.

Strange indeed.

That has happened to me often. I don't think it is unusual at all. It's one of those things that people don't mention to each other but happens to most.

This has happened to me!
The most recent one was from last month April 20th (yup exactly on that day!!!)The day before I was at my friends birthday party.
Now I think this happened to me because I didn't get enough sleep and food. I went to sleep around 5 am and woke up about 8 or 9 in the morning.
Then on the 20th thats when a lot of wierd stuff happened I heard voices towards the end of that day, and they sounded like the voice of my Birthday friend. I also saw some visons of people.
Thats my story!

Very interesting.

However, if you're hearing voices, I think you have other issues besides worrying about vanishing.

Lack of sleep can do a lot to you, next time get lots of it.

just sayin'

Just to add
I eat everything,
And the voices were not saying my name but its was a conversation of somesort.

I Think thats the reason, but who knoew there might be somehting more to it.

Are vegetarians missing something from their diet, like cholesterol, protein, certain amino acids, or fats?
Being a vegetarian requires that the person replace meat with suitable nutes, can the brain be affected by an unbalanced diet, are some vegetarians starving their brains, causing it to misfire and causing hallucinations?

Is the subject of the vegan thing supposed to make vegetarians 'better than thou', like, the evil eaters of meat have been deemed unworthy, or something?

I don't care what anybody says, humans are meant to eat meat, it is not natural for us to eat just vegetables and mushrooms.

I eat meat, and I love animals, animals that love me also eat meat, living things eat other (once)living things, that's how nature is.

I have had voices in the twilight zone between wakefulness and sleep, I have had voices tell me things, I have heard a firecracker sound in my ear that only I heard, I have seen ghosts.

Weird stuff does happen, perhaps I should have eaten that second helping of meatloaf?

Anyway, if it's going to happen, and I get to leave all this BS behind, I just want to bring my cats with me, is that too much to ask?

I became a vegetarian about 9 months ago along with my girlfriend. About 8 months ago my girlfriend began to experience anxiety attacks and depression, I myself have heard my name called as clear as day on several occasions when nobody else was around. My girlfriend left me on monday after 5 years in the relationship stating that she needs to sort her head out. If people are targeted by something or someone and other people are in the vicinity could it also have an effect on them has anyone who heard these voices had anything happen to the people who they are close to?
