Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. I appreciate it.

I think you might be right about it being a defense mechanism, but if that is the case, I still don't know how they're able to do it. As for myself, life was normal until recently. The first time I noticed anything strange was when I saw that guy at the mall. I honestly can't think of any reason why I'm able to see them.

Hitch isn't here anymore. I wish he was because at least that way I wouldn't be alone.

I've been trying my best to manage my injuries, and I think your advice will help, so thank you for that.
