Mirrors

[Ellyx]

I hear a girl called Rina, and sometimes when i look in the mirror i see her not me, and sometimes i see her behind me, watching me. What can i do manage this better? I have just stopped looking in mirrors at all but obviously i can't keep that up. Its also difficult, because it's not just mirrors its shadows too. Sorry just need some ideas/support ;(

There was something in another thread about taking pictures. If there's a chance that what you're seeing isn't real, try taking a picture of it with a camera and it won't come up in the picture if it's not really there. Maybe physical evidence that she's not real might make you feel better?

Also, do you have anyone you could talk to about this? A doctor, maybe?

That sounds scary Ella! I'm really sorry you are experiencing this.

It sounds a bit like a form of dissociation - Mind website on dissociation. Or it could be psychosis - Mind website on psychosis.
I guess the reasons I mentioned the above is because there are different way s of approaching your experiences depending on which of the above it is... If it's dissociation then you could try talking to her to find out more about her, why she's following you, what she wants etc.. If it's psychosis then I've been told it's best to ignore it, neither trying to prove or disprove it, because thinking about it causes your mind to focus on it and reinforces the delusion.

Hope this helps a little Thinking of you hon xx
