Since November is a spooky month I decided to write my horror experience in life when I was in Manila and how it is connected with my mental health. I will make it in a series type because I encountered different horror scenes and I will write every detail of all the entities I've seen.

I used to live in an old apartment at Mandaluyong City, when my workplace was at Shaw Boulevard. But the room has 4 occupants on it, I was fine having roommates than being alone as I can save more than if I rent single room.

At first we live in a big room with my co workers and they became my friend as well because we came from the same province, it was one of the happiest moment when I found good friends in there. But after our contract ended as we were contractual employee, we disperse. The other one, went to Dubai and the other one went back to our province. I was left in the apartment, so I decided to transfer to other room with new roommates as I cannot afford to pay 7,000 Php a month on our former room.

My life changed after my friends left as I struggled dealing with my mental problems

When my friends finally left, I don't have any choice but to move from other room. My roommates are strangers to me as they work on different fields and I just know them when I moved to their room that's I don't open up with them.

My friends who left was also a Christian so they somehow good influence and a good listener to me. When they left, I felt alone and lonely. Although I was really a loner back then, it's just that the apartment was too old that it has dark aura and I can sense that there are also other “occupants” that was unseen. Our room was located in the second floor, it has 4 rooms. Each room has four occupants but usually during day time, the place was very silent because all boarders are on duty.

It was really a bad timing because I work in day time, but my other new roommates works at night as they work on BPO company and usually their shift was at night. So I'll sleep alone in our room, not really alone because some entities are also in there and they were playing with me.

That was horrible experience with me as I cannot sleep well, I keep experiencing sleep paralysis almost everyday night. I felt sleepless and mentally unstable because when evening comes I got paranoid and scared to go home. Sometimes I even volunteer to have overtime just so I felt so tired when I went home and can sleep straight but it doesn't happen, the unseen forces are having fun while I was almost getting crazy dealing with fear and trauma.

When you experienced sleep paralysis you are half asleep and half awake, then you'll see some horror figure, and you cannot move your body much worse is when you can't breath well. It's terrifying, what if you'll have oxygen shortage and you can't breath anymore you'll die from it. I can't die just like that.

The horror figure is not just one but many, it's like they'll have rotation who will gonna play with me every night. That's what I am going to tell you in details.

How did the horror has to do with my mental problems?

On that note after telling the story about those horror story, I'll write in details as well what are those entities represent that has something to do with my mental health.

Science doesn't believe paranormal things, they'll only refer those things as hallucinations due to psychological problems that can affect mental health of a person but for me, as for my experience I can assess both that it was paranormal things and psychological issues.

I'll connect the dot how paranormal and mental health plays a role in ruining a person's sanity.

Closing Thoughts

If you'd like to know how I overcome all of it without running away in the apartment, without seeking other people's help as I only fight it alone. I bravely fight my mental problems, recently when I am mentally struggling sleep paralysis is attacking me again, if you remember one of my article which is the Black Man Wearing A Hood it was a sleep paralysis experience I had recently.

Our house has also some unseen forces, so yeah whenever my mental health is unstable the horror things will come out.

You can learn from my experience especially on paying attention with your mental health as it is very important factor of our well being. I just write this as an intro you might be wondering why my following articles will be horror haha! This is also related with my mental struggles recently.
