I keep seeing dark faces in mirrors… and it’s getting worse
Hello everyone, I’ll try to keep this brief. I’m a very sensitive person and quite open on a spiritual level. Since childhood, I’ve sometimes perceived what look like faces in mirrors, and I’ve felt presences or energies around me.
A few months ago, I was using drugs, and it caused me to have hallucinations (I should point out that this substance rarely has that effect, but in my case, it did). These hallucinations were quite specific: I would see frightening insect-like shapes, very often large black spiders.
Since then, I’ve completely stopped, but I still sometimes see faces in mirrors, in certain objects, and especially in shadows… They are always dark, shadowy beings—either angry faces or black animals, or other insects or creatures that I can’t really describe. Sometimes, they’re just eyes.
I don’t think I’m psychotic, as I don’t have any other symptoms besides these visions, but it scares me because I don’t know whether this is something spiritual or messages from my subconscious. These hallucinations are becoming more frequent and more intense, and I’m afraid of going crazy. I don’t know who to talk to about it.
