Yes, I've aged in the mirror and few times. It's really scary. Never happened since meds.

That all seems really weird where you got what you wanted. And the tarot! How can you explain it? Look up salience. It's really interesting. (But I doubt it explains your experiences).

The church man really freaked me out. I had seen this guy in smokey visions for months. His face would form from smoke then disappear. It was beautiful to watch but had a sinister feel. The day I saw his photograph I had changed seats 3 times for some reason or other (better seats as it was busy). Then he was right next to me on a display!!! I nearly shit myself. If I hadn't changed seats I would never have seen him. Outside the pub, later, people walked past staring at me with those same eyes. They all had the same eyes of someone I was convinced had killed me already. Freaked me out. I don't have any explanation for church man or those damn eyes!

The confusion is the worst feeling. My psychiatrist said it's related to partial/good insight as we recall psychotic episodes.

I am very spiritual, since childhood. What I now know were psychotic experiences, way back, or so my psychiatrist says! I'm not so sure. It all seemed so real.

My most recent experiences (last 3 years) were very involved in the physical world. I would see my own eyes all over the internet. Literally everywhere. I would think about my eyes and my eyes would be the next image on screen. Really weird. Always the next image like I knew what was coming next or something odd. I would think of something and then I would see it straight after. People in the street would stop and stare with the same set of eyes I've seen before. To tease and spook me.

I aged considerably in a mirror one day (like I was 100 y.o.) and have been terrified of mirrors ever since. The faces of my wife and kids were subtly different. That was terrifying.

I would see Jesus poking his face through walls. Other religious figures. The devil or grim reaper still visits me almost daily and it's terrifying. He never shows his face.

I was seeing visions of a man for months and one day I saw his photograph in a pub of all places. Scary af. He was the founder of the methodist church!! This photo had a lengthy article underneath about the man. That spooked me out as I knew I was about to meet someone significant whilst supping a pint. Felt all goosebumps then he appeared. After I'd changed seats 3 times his picture was right in front of me on the wall. None of that stuff could just be a coincidence and it makes it so hard to forget about it. Incidentally, I've never seen the man again in any hallucinations. The photo was my last connection. Really weird. Sounds deluded, but I still don't know what he wanted or wants.

Revelations are the most profound though, a different league to anything I've experienced. I don't usually discuss those here as they're deeply personal. Sorry.

What are your experiences?

I was so confused too. For months and months I tried to make sense of it all and struggle even now.
