I see dead people...

Or rather, I imagine them vividly.

It started with a gruesome freeway accident that I saw on my way home from work. Every time it was dark and I was alone I'd imagine the corpse I saw, reanimated and angry. I don't see it as in actually see it but in my mind it's very real.

It became worse after seeing the result of a suicide gone horribly wrong or... right. Depending on how you look at it. I cried, grieved for her but she was only added to the previous woman.

I'm on my third body that I've seen in real life converted into my imagination and I'm done with this shit. I never really watched horror movies as a kid and I'm not a huge fan of zombies or any of that kind of stuff so I don't know where this is coming from. I once did see a therapist a hot minute ago who told me that I have guilt issues and am more empathetic than what is healthy so I'm sure that plays into it.

Is it normal to imagine dead people I've seen? Any advice or insight would be appreciated.

    Maybe you should see that therapist for longer than a "hot minute ago", whatever the fuck that means

      Hot minute means it's been a while but I'm uncertain of the time frame. It's a figure of speech.

        Never heard of it before. So are you still having therapy?

          No. I work 80 hours a week on average so I haven't had the time. I am also a bit fearful that I'll go in there and be given some runaround diagnosis that will be refuted by whoever I am referred to.

            I reckon you have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which won't go away by itself and will be harder to deal with the longer you put it off

              I was once diagnosed as having mild PTSD from traumatic childhood events that did not have anything to do with death but did, however, cause what I was told was guilt issues. I almost don't want to believe that it would manifest itself this way.

    Does it make any sense to be empathetic to a dead person? When they are dead it is too late.

      That is something I regularly have to tell myself.
