>>1025698I used to be a security guard/janitor at a former college campus. I had to do a lot of stuff in a lot of creepy old buildings.
>>1025597Foxes make a horrible racket like that, as do fisher cats and some owls. It might have been nothing.
>>1025097That sounds like a healthy way of dealing with things. For me, it was shit like I'd wake up in the middle of the night (if I could sleep at all) and need to be as alone as I could get, so I'd just go out and sleep in the woods, or whatever. I was in college at the time, and I'd have all these paranoid thoughts, like my roommate was going to stab me, or something. It kind of felt like when people were looking at me, they all were just trying to hold back from telling me how much they all hated me. I felt like the world's biggest piece of shit, and that I was just wasting everyone's time, or energy, or space, or whatever by being around people. I'd go to class (enough to pass, anyway, for the most part) and then just drop shit off in my dorm, and go out in the woods. It was a really small college at the edge of a city, and most of the campus was forest. It was sort of shitty forest, but forest. There was enough that I could forage for food out there (lots of raspberries, cherries, apples, walnuts, wild grapes, garlic mustard, asparagus, etc.) and even a river full of nasty, polluted carp and rock bass and stuff. I kind of miss spending that much time outside, but I kind of don't miss being that nuts.
I still kind of feel like that sometimes, but it hasn't been quite that bad in years.
