One day he showed up at my apartment. He lead me to my black leather gloves and then to the medicine cabinet to get the Neosporin. We put my hair into a bun with a chopstick through it. We walked via the alley to the side yard of a tree sandwiched between two apartment buildings. He wanted me to climb the tree!
Little Bobby showed me where to place my hands and feet. I completely trusted him and up I went. However, Bobby was a bit mischievous and somehow my chopstick got stuck in the branches. He wouldnt show me how to undo it and left!
I was very calm. Eventually a man came out of the apartment. Excuse me, sir? The man looked around him. Am up here! He looked up.
What are you doing in the tree?
Am stuck. Could you please climb up and untangle my hair?
No! Thats what you get for climbing the tree! And then he went in the apartment and slammed the door.
Eventually somebody walked by and helped me out, so it ended up okay.
Sometimes I enjoy hearing the voices because they tell me interesting things. Sometime they comfort me. Sometimes they are very distracting. it's a hard road.
SunnyBrunnette, I've gone on spirit walks too, when I was younger, and I have to say those are dangerous, be careful if you still do that. I have found it is best to stay inside my apartment when I am feeling psychotic and spiritual so whatever manifestations happen they will be contained and I will be safe from strangers or cops. If you were a little kid when this happened it was probably ok tho, because kids run around and get into everything.
Thanks for sharing your stories everyone!
