Scared of ghosts

[hollieedridge]

So i know this is a wierd post but does anyone get anxiety thinking about ghosts and things like that??? Is anyone on here spiritual x

[Lonelyheart]

I am spiritual, and I have been told that my anxiety is from me being so sensitive to the spirit world. Since then I am learning how to control and identify what I am feeling to cope with my anxiety attacks. It’s been helpful in a enlightening way. If you want to contact me inbox me..

There's no profit in worrying about the dead, hollie, direct your thoughts to the living and yourself and your recovery.

Its hard x

I am like lonelyheart, and I’ve also been told that being sensitive to the spirit world can cause anxiety. You can pick up other people’s energy and it gets stuck.

[hollieedridge in reply to ThyroidJ]

So how do you know if its spiritual or just normal anxiety

[ThyroidJ in reply to hollieedridge]

Good question, for me sometimes it doesn’t feel like it’s my anxiety or my worry. It feels like something else. I try protect myself with light bubbles to ensure I don’t pick up other energy

[hollieedridge in reply to ThyroidJ]

Whats light bubbles ? Are you a medium

[ThyroidJ in reply to hollieedridge]

I’m spiritual - I light bubble is an energy field I imagine a egg shaped of light which protects my energy and personal space. I’m not saying you should do this but it can help if you feel anxious around people or situations

[Hidden in reply to ThyroidJ]

I do this too.

I used to when I was younger; but since my Mum died I just long to see her ghost. I would give everything I have, including the rest of my life to have just one more coffee with Mum. I miss her so much

When I was a young kid I saw ghosts at the end of a long hall in my house. At the time there was negativity in the house that probably caused me to have anxiety and create the vision. How is your family situation?

[hollieedridge in reply to howard327]

Im really close with my family and we are happy c

A lot of children do see spirits my son did when he was 3. He used to speak to a girl called Mary. I don’t expect people to hold the same views as me.

Even if you have the "Gift" of sensing Spirits remember that they can Not harm you,some Spiritualists unintentionally can disturb dark "Aura's" which can bring feelings of Dread or real fear to those who walk through the dark Aura left behind! It is the fear or the sensitivity of the individual (. Occurs mostly in children or people who are very sensitive or of a nervous disposition) I have heard of the so called" Mediums" who appear on the television on different programs and most of them are "Fakers" I won't mention names as that could possibly be a problem legally to me! People who do not know about Spirits just being like a recording of time or the residual energies of past events ,(Think of a video recording then think Spirits are like a video recording of the past! You can turn a video off but Spirits carry on until the residual energies fade but some people who are sensitive or fearful of Spirits can I suppose re-energise them??) I don't know for certain but it's what I believe ! I have never been afraid of Spirits (Ghosts) as a Child I like many other children had what some called an imaginary friend or friends ! Apparently my Grandmother asked me what their names were and what they looked like I supposedly told her the name of the boy described him and the old lady ,turns out I described her Brother and her Grandmother who my Mother and Aunts did not even know about as my Gran had been adopted very young her Brother had died young as did her mother? That was when my Gran explained about Spirits, Gran was a Catholic but ended up a Spiritualist ! I Believe in "God" Goodness I also believe that"Evil" is a Man(Human) trait nothing to do with Ghosts or the Devil ! Just pure and simple nasty Evil either Criminals or people who think they can use illness as an excuse for an evil act! I don't include people who are genuinely mental ill in this.

I am a Christian and study the Bible. I believe in a world beyond what we see. If you are spiritual and believe in a higher power ask him for help. And according to the Bible remember we are spirit, mind, body. If your body is out of wack it isn’t going to benefit the other two.

If I were to suggest anything it would be to slow down. Take it easy. Pray and ask God for his wisdom and for his revelation. Also journal your thoughts and fears to give yourself some insight to the structure of your mind works. Record the triggers as well as the positive influences and try to start focusing on he positive even though it is so difficult at times.

With anxiety be sure you are resting which helps remove the cortisol from your body. And when you feel up to it take baby steps towards some type of exercise such as just a short walk or one flight of stairs.

The Bible says God is Love and that you were created in his image and with a specific purpose just for you. You were, “fearfully and wonderful made.”

God’s BIG. Bigger than our imaginations can precieve. God can take care of all the spirits, anxieties and physical issues but it takes us quiet some time to get the right perspective so have grace for yourself.

[Lbk64 in reply to CaptainCrunch]

Excellent advice. I use prayer to clear and protect too.

[Delzek in reply to CaptainCrunch]

I believe in "God" a higher being someone or something that is around me always! I believe many things in the Bible the QüRan the in fact All Holy book's as they are basically saying the same things, God=Good ! The Devil=evil ? The God is good I truly believe but the Devil bit and the old teachings of Catholicism I truly believe is a past ruler who added their own interpretation to scare their subjects into following their laws (follow the law of the land yet the Bible still states An eye for an eye?)

I believe God has left Man to his/her own devices until he gets fed up with the senseless wars and killings! If we all do our best for ourselves and others and have honesty/integrity and Compassion as basics in our life then there is always hope mankind can change!

[Hidden in reply to CaptainCrunch]

Christ defeated the devil on the cross. Believing in Christ is to live a life free of fear and guilt, a life of victory. As a believer in Christ, the only power evil has over me is what I give it. That being said, we are frail and weak beings. My advice is to pray for freedom from the bondage and fears.

[Jane3285]

My daughter sees and hears things that I can not see or hear and yes sometimes it gives me anxiety. It doesn't seem to bother her so not sure why it should bother me. She's 6 by the way.

[Delzek in reply to Jane3285]

Never show your anxiety, as it could make her anxious or afraid if she is seeing and hearing things! It will pass soon enough! I have often thought if Moses or Jesus came to Earth in this day and age would they be called mentally ill? Or Schizophrenic?? Even now I still speak to my Grandmother Mother and my Father who have all passed on and sometimes when I am especially down I get answers from them in my sleep! Normally I would awaken feeling fresh and even happy!

[Jane3285 in reply to Delzek]

Yeh I usually remain calm on the outside. On the inside though is a different story. As I say it doesn't bother her. Apart from one time mind. That's a thought regards Moses and Jesus. My mum is the same. She has dreams about loved ones who have passed on and like you gets answers.

Ghost honestly fascinate me.. I watch all the shows and have had my own experience I was raised Christian baptized and went to Christian school, I've always been interested since young childhood.

[Muzamel in reply to Wyominganxiety]

Well as you are so interested I can give you a diffrent narrative just for interest. In eastern Arabian culture and religion they dont belive in people coming back after the dead it's only a one way system. However they do belive that just like human kind was created with free will there was another being which also had freewill. They are made from smokeless fire as we are made from clay. They can see us but we cant see them there are good beings and evil. They will also be judged on the day of judgement. Paradise and hell is for them also.

[Lbk64]

I'm spiritual also. Much like the others, the anxiety can come from over sensitivity to the spirit world and the world around us on a whole. Work on ways to strengthen your energy, physically and emotionally. I know how hard it is with anxiety. The main thing, or the first thing you should try to do is not fear the spirit world. I found when I was fearful, I attracted negative things. Look after yourself with diet and sleep. It's important to be strong physically as much as spiritually. Surround yourself with positive people also. Hope this helps.
