What About Tomorrow?
Mental challenges: it’s daunting to articulate experiences that’s unusual or unsettling…
“I find it difficult to put this into words without feeling like I sound a bit off. Sometimes, especially at night, I notice two heartbeats or my breathing becomes irregular, almost as if I’m experiencing two separate breaths. It’s hard to explain, and it feels like there’s another presence with me. Not to mention the voices, there are always one or two in my mind. One seems like my own conscience, while the other is harder to identify, presenting a puzzle in itself. Mental health is real? Am I going crazy or am I crazy already. This is going on more now than the past when it was periodically during my early to mind twenties or more so early as a little child, under 5.
I want to assure you that I’m not losing my mind. Well, I hope not! I’m sharing this in hopes of gaining some clarity and understanding whether what I’m experiencing could be a form of dual personality. Sometimes there are gaps in my memory, where I only recall things if my conscience or the other voice reminds me. Is this a sign of something more, or am I just overthinking it?"
