Something’s not right

Talking to people who aren't there.

Talking to people who aren't there.

Does anyone else talk to people who aren't there because they miss them so much? It makes me feel better. It's like I'm still a child.

I used to talk to my Mum and Brother. Later I talked to my BFF who died at age 21 by suicide. These days I have 'others' I talk to who aren't real in the sense I don't know them in reality (they are hallucinations).

It's interesting how grief works though @Harvey. There's no hard and fast rules saying you can't speak to someone who isn't there because you miss them. I think that's actually kinda normal.
