My Shadow(I feel alone now someone answer) :(

[dwzx123]

Does anyone else have a shadow, a doppleganger of themselves? I made him last year he was just a bare sillhouhette. The more I use him like I get him to walk around and see through his eyes and stuff the stronger he gets. After a year he could pick up a pencil. 6 months later he could etch marks into walls with a pencil. 2 months later we could play catch together. 1 year later he is changed and very strong, about as much as me and looks exactly like me. Other people can not see him though. But now he is controlling me. Anytime I don't do what he wants or if I show any sign of weakness he takes control. It was subtle at first, he would just murmur things that I should do and it really was helpful, maybe for test answers or the perfect comback to a bully but now he makes me do terrible things to my only remaining friends. If I dont he takes control of me he did for almost 6 months I could only watch as my friends slowly left me as he destroyed my life. I tried to apologize today, which is unacceptable with him i tried to make peace with my clone but he disappeared I know tomorrow I wont be the same someone help.

That must be pretty harsh. It seems as though you may have fed it until you lost control of it. Have you ever been diagnosed with some sort of disorder? I would think this is some sort of multiple personality where you can see what the other half is doing? These are only my guesses, so I hope i'm not being offensive or saying stupid things. Correct me if I am. I believe that you should see a doctor. This is seriously affecting your life and the lives of those around you. It could spiral even farther out of control if you don't get a handle on it. I went through a similar-ish time when I had odd hallucinations that evolved over time then just suddenly went away. The feeling was odd afterwards. Please consider getting some help. Professionals can suck but some are actually helpful. I've met one or two that actually have helped. It may be worth it. Your choice.

I wish you the best of luck. I'm here to talk to if need be.
