Okay so, I had this long term experience of grieving over a living person recently. It got so bad I started seeing them, like an apparition. I understand why people believe in ghosts… or refer to past lovers/friends as ghosts.
I know my my mind is not competely coherent but, can anyone share any similar experiences to help me deal with this mentally? No pressure.

Sometimes when I really miss people, I hear things they say to me over and over again. Or I replay bad scenes in daydreams. Sometimes it completely stops my day and I have to wait until I’m distracted by something else to feel better. I never saw apparitions, but I would smell cologne or perfume when nobody was anywhere near me. Memories work differently for everyone I guess.
Thanks. That’s interesting, perhaps you’re more an auditory kind of person? Maybe it’s to do with what is most memorable about the person?… it’s weird minds play these tricks on us. It’s not condusive to living life to the full, even if it’s just short interruptions.
