Hey.

So I was over at my parents house today and we were discussing mental illness in our family and my mum told me that that I was 2-3 I used to see a family in my room. Apparently she would hear me through the baby monitor laughing and playing when I was supposed to be asleep but when she would come upstairs I would stop and shed ask me what I was laughing at and Id tell her that there was an older lady and she would talk to me and I would play with her children. My mum also told me I regular used to talk to a man called Michael. I didn't hear voices for years after this not until I was about 18. 

Was this some sort of spiritual experience or was this the start of schizoaffective disorder?

Genuinely interested as my mum is the sanest person I know she literally doesn't even understand mental illness because she can't relate AT ALL. 

She thinks I was seeing and hearing spirits as she says young children are prone to this.

What do you guys think 🤔?

Thanks in advance
