Q: Why would I have such strange things happen

I've had a couple experiences that my doctors have been unable to pin point a cause for so I'm just going to touch alittle on each of them incase anyone may have any thoughts on why these happened.  I was in the 2nd grade and coming home from school to what I thought was a empty house. I remember so well opening the refrigerator door when the washing machine came up from the basement banging and making all kinds of noise and chased me through the house and out the front door. It was not a dream because my older sister remembers it just as well I do. She was right outside. I was hysterical and I'll never forgot it. It's a joke with my family now but to me it's a mystery I'd like to unfold alittle. 

I was 11 yrs. old when our family went on vacation to Washington. We'd stopped at a mountain lookout and all I felt was a real urge to jump. My mom had to finally put me into the car. I still get this feeling but I don't feel a real "fear" of heights but rather a fear of jumping. 

 Another similar experience but not quite as serious was my 1st day of work at a factory. I was extra nervous. Upon walking in with a guard I noticed the walls were all bright pastel colors and I commented to him about it. As the day went on I found the walls became their real color which was a blah tannnish. I just kept wondering what that guard must have thought about me.. Geesh!!  I put these all into one question in order to not take up so much of the board. Anything would be helpful. And I'm so glad I found this group. It's my 1st day.                    findsunshine

Though these are really odd experiences. Do they really cause you anxiety or do you just question their validity. I am no expert in any way. I would just think that by your story that you and your sister experienced something together that is represented by the washing machine. It could only be deciphered thru psychotherapy sessions. Maybe growing up your perception of things was different than others. The only way to learn about ourselves is to talk about ourselves with people that can help us connect with answers. We have all the answers inside of ourselves we sometimes need help finding them.
