but to think "she" isn't real scares me too...
why tho, that seems the least scary option
Well, since you posted here, I assume you're looking at this as a mental health issue and we can dispense with the woowoo stuff? If not, I got nothing for you.
But, you're describing a pretty damn strong visual. The way you describe it isn't hallucinatory, more like an intrusive image/thought.
My first instinct is to ask if you've changed medications (not necessarily psychiatric ones) recently, or may have been exposed to environmental toxins.
That's where I'd start looking for a cause, and I'd want to do it with the usual assortment of medical specialists; neurology, psychiatry, and probably a general workup across the board to rule out something unusual like a hormonal cause. That would be weird, but not impossible.
In any case, it's definitely something that merits diagnosis and at least bare minimum attempts to control it if the origin is psychological.
You could be seeing a spirit/ entity. Perhaps you could try talking to a medium?
Thanks!!! I am getting a vibe/image that she’s heterosexual. She had a boyfriend and died in the 80s or 90s. The image of her is really grainy as if taken on a small, cheap camera. I think her body was left overnight too, so her family woke up to her hanging body in the basement
Interesting, I guess the main thing then is acknowledging her, and perhaps letting her know its okay to move forward. Pretty fascinating stuff
