Imaginary friends

Post Reply New Topic

I have a jaguar "totem animal". I used to think it was just my imagination but I can sence his "presence" even during the day. I'm aware some might accuse me of being mentaly ill or that the jaguar is actualy a demon but who's to say it isn't the same thing as a "gardian angel". I was taught that everyone has one even if they are not aware of it but I was never told they automaticaly come in human form. I have the feeling that is jaguar pressence is a gardian, mentor figure. Isn't that what a gardian angel is supposed to be? He's revealed himself to me in my dreams and if anyone tries to do me harm he will not hesitate to protect me. In a way he is an "imaginary" friend. I used to think I was going insane until I did some research on Native American "totem animals".

a werewolf........we have not always gotten along, and he has been quelled in the past by psychotropics.....

But he has never left me.......I just keep a tighter reign on him now.......and we are good mates most of the time.

Funny how all the medical establishment thought he would disappear once my "schizoaffective" was treated.......I have a clean bill of mental health now(the absence of "mental illness) and he is still around, just a little more peaceful.

Not sure if this counts, but I sometimes think of myself in the third person and first person at the same time. I do this to debate myself. I find I'm always switching sides only to find that other me playing devil's advocate in response. My thoughts tend to trail off before there's a clear winner, but this does tend to help me organize my thoughts.

imaginary friends are wayyyy better then these damn NT'S who abuse me

What a pitty you left it so long, you and your Martian friend could have so much fun together. I heve had imaginary friends since my childhood. It's handy there is always someone to turn to and you're never alone. I used to get upset when 'real' people disturbed us. But after all they don't know I am talking to my invisible friend.

I had one until i was 6 years old . . . was a purple/amethyst dragon called Sparky. One of my grandmothers, who was an english teacher, actually made a small kids book about it for me (was purple since the school mascot where my grandmother worked as the purple dragon).

Never had imaginary friends in childhood, but in late high school and for an eency bit of early college, I became so desperate for companionship that I made up several imaginary friends with full knowledge/awareness of the fact that they werent real.

I think this pretty sums up how mentally stable I was at 18, that I would end up with an AS diagnosis.
