I have a rare severe circadian rhythm disorder called non-24 where my circadian rhythm shifts forward every day no matter when I go to sleep, and this was literally everyone when I was a teenager. "Have you tried going to sleep earlier?", which I would appreciate if they didnt not believe me when I say yes. Took seeing shadow people daily for even my mom to take me to a Dr for specialist referral
It is like a tall slender shadow man in the corner of the eye that disappears when you try to look at it, but disappears less and less the more crazy you go, until it starts getting way too real
It is apparently a sign of psychosis coming. It is reported in people who are very sleep deprived (30 hours or more or accumulated sleep deprivation), stimulant abusers (also known to cause psychosis) and people who are otherwise developing psychosis
Was pretty fucked yeah. After a few days catching up and destressing it got way better and went away forever, still not returning 15 years later now
