Ok so a lot of really strange personal things have been happening to me and everything just feels generally unsettling. The other day I had a full mental breakdown because I swear on my life I bought boots five years ago that had the brand advertised on the front — but when I put them on the other day, the brand name was different. For context it’s a brand called “See By Chloe” and I SWEAR the tag always said See By Chloe on three separate lines. Now it says “SeeBy Chloe” and it’s making me feel insane. I checked a picture of me from two years ago and the logo is how it is now but I really really feel like it wasn’t always like that.

Strange events as I mentioned have occurred to me and it’s making me question reality.
Also I was recently inadvertently around a lot of tech and military people. I’m not schizophrenic but it’s making me feel like nothing is real.

Before you guys huddle in the comments concerned about my mental health- no I am not unwell. I do not have or had Schizophrenia, my home’s Carbon Monoxide levels are healthy and I had no significant trauma that caused me what I’m about to tell you.  

This happened about 6 months ago. I have pondered every single day since putting together every single memory and evidence of my husband’s existence. My husband is my everything. We got married about 2 years ago after dating for 8 years- since high school. I saw him grow right in front of my eyes. So did he. I have touched his face, kissed everywhere on it in every phase of our togetherness. I know when he got acne, I know when it started clearing up, I know when his peach fuzz started growing thicker all of a sudden, I KNOW EVERY DETAIL OF HIS FACE, HIS BEING WITH MY EYES CLOSED. Oh God I am so frustrated! I fell in love with this face and this very face haunts me now. He has beautiful wavy hair, big dark brown doe eyes, thin lips, and a chubby face. 

Now back to 6 months ago. It’s a weekend. The warm sunlight hit my face. Around this time my husband and I usually have a lighter sleep, we both consciously cuddle and he pulls me close to him inside his huggiest, softest arms. I remember enjoying every bit of it. I started feeling his face while he buried it in my neck. When I ran my fingers by his jawline, I said, “Damn shawty, you outmogging me today.” (Ik cringe, ik ik). He laughed low and lazy. I felt slightly alarmed, his voice sounded a bit different. I thought he just had a bit of cold and ignored. I said again “ No fr it feels sharp. Maybe you don’t have to start working out at all.” He did not respond. Just dug his face deeper and and started breathing heavy. We slept for 2 more hours. I woke up with his kiss, my eyes still closed. He was asking if I want to shower together. I told him to set up the bathrooom with towels while I get up slowly. When I opened my eyes, my heart skipped a beat for a quick second as I glanced at him walking into the bathroom. I only saw him for a second before he went in. He looked so different.  

I blamed foggy morning brain and got up and stretched. I grabbed my phone to check the time real quick. I felt shocked. The man in my lockscreen, smiling at me was someone else- A completely different person. This man had completely kinky curly hair, full lips, hazel eyes and dimples on a chiseled face- almost uncanny looking. I stood there holding my phone for a minute. My husband from inside the bathroom started calling me, “Hun, you coming? I’m done taking a dump!” I start panicking but think this is a stupid prank of his. I asked him “Baby haha funny but seriously who is this man in my phone?” as I walked inside the bathroom. I felt my whole body, every single cell stand up. The man sitting inside the bathroom waiting for me was not my baby, my love. He’s the same man as my lockscreen. I started to back off, he saw my face and got extremely worried. He asked me what happened and I didn’t respond. I ran out of the bathroom to the living room where another shock was waiting for me. Our huge wedding pic that was hanging on the wall had that strange man and me in it! I opened my phone and started to skim through the gallery. EVERY SINGLE PICTURE IS THAT MAN AND NOT MY HUSBAND. How did his face change overnight? Am I okay? Am I losing it? Am I pregnant so my hormones are making me messy? I started thinking every little to big possibilities. He came running after me to the living room a couple seconds later. Who is this man? He looked different, sounded different. However, the same loving, endearing tone.  

I realized something was seriously wrong and I had to cool my head first before I told anyone about what had just happened. He came and hugged me and I hugged him back skeptically. I told him I had a bad dream and kind of carried it along in real life half asleep.  

Over the next few days, I figured out the only thing that’s different in him from my husband was just how he looked and sounded. Everything else about him was the same. My heart started convincing my brain at one point that this was the same person. My brain kept me alert. I had been to his parents’ place more times than the whole duration of our marriage just to snoop around. Let’s say this man I am currently living with somehow abducted my real husband and replaced every digital and printed pics in my phone and house with his face. The only hope was the very old album pics that my mother-in-law had- categorized in different album books. I went to her one day without my supposed husband. After a bit, I asked her to bring out all the albums to revisit memories. I had my heart beating so fast while I was holding the first album book. I was hoping and praying that the pics showed my actual loml’s face.  

I think I am losing my mind and I cannot tell anyone. I only confided in my friend after holding it in for months. She is empathetic towards it but I don’t think she believes me- I don’t blame her. I told her how my husband’s childhood pictures turned out to be a smaller version of that uncanny fuck. Even the picture that had spilled coffee mark in the back of him holding dandelions is the same exact pic, just the younger version of the other man, not my husband. She, just like anyone else in this fuckface world, told me my love always looked like that and that something happened to me. It breaks me every time I think of distancing myself from that man in my mind- what if he is actually my baby? He behaves like my husband, talks like him, takes care of melike him, DOES EVEYTHING LIKE HIM. WHAT IF THIS MAN IS HIM? What if I am just stuck in a bad dream and unintentionally pushing my love away from me? I got x-rays of my brain to ensure I do not have anything funky inside. Came out all positive. I am okay. Then what? I just want some outside perspective, some comfort from strangers. 

Edit: Hi I would like to address some comments for clarity.

-

1. A lot of comments think it’s fake Ai writing. I am capable of making proper sentence structures with correct grammar. My entire life Ai was not a thing, it’s recent.

-

1. I called it xray instead of CT scan or any other medical term because we call every scan related thing xray in my native language.

Just like calling it pampers instead of diapers. It was a quick and cheap way to determine primarily if there’s anything wrong with me before we moved on to mri and other procedures.

-

1. To only a couple people believing me, thank you. The others who don’t, I genuinely don’t blame you.

-

1. I am also not just sitting here doing nothing. Posting here is one of the ways I am dealing with this. If I genuinely get no helpful advice I will be deleting the post because I posted here for advice.

Since childhood, I’ve occasionally experienced something at night that I’ve never fully understood. I’m not claiming it’s paranormal or a glitch in reality. I’m genuinely curious whether anyone has experienced something similar.
When I was younger, I used to wake up around 3 AM almost every night, often after nightmares. Eventually, I became so accustomed to it that I’d anticipate waking up around that time before going to sleep.
The part that has always confused me is what happens when I try to fall asleep again.
My mother snores, and I can sometimes hear footsteps from the apartment upstairs. These are familiar sounds in my home. But on certain nights, everything seems completely silent when I wake up.
Then, as I’m drifting off again, I start hearing my mother’s snoring. It sounds exactly like her normal snoring, seemingly coming from my parents’ bedroom. Sometimes I hear footsteps, too.
What’s strange is the timing.
The snoring seems to begin at a normal volume, then gradually gets louder as I become sleepier. When I become more alert and focus on the sound, it seems to fade. When I start relaxing and feel myself drifting off again, it grows louder.
It’s almost as if the perceived volume follows my level of consciousness.
I’ve tried deliberately pretending to fall asleep while remaining awake, and I remember hearing the sound during that attempt as well. I was frightened to get up and investigate, so I can’t claim that I verified the source of every occurrence.
I know auditory experiences can happen around the transition between wakefulness and sleep. I’m open to that explanation, but the recurring timing is what has always puzzled me.
This isn’t about hearing random, unfamiliar noises. It’s the fact that the sounds are so familiar and seem to follow this particular pattern.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Specifically, have you ever noticed familiar environmental sounds becoming more prominent as you drift off and fading as you become more alert?
I’m interested in genuine experiences and reasonable explanations. I’m not trying to prove anything supernatural; I just want to understand whether other people have experienced this same pattern.

I have a small 5.5 gallon tank. I bought six guppies. Half of them were still juveniles, so still small, like half the size. Had them about two weeks, they got a little bigger, although one seemed to be struggling a tad at times, and just wasn’t as active as the others. A few days go by and I notice two babies (probably a day old) swimming in the top plants. Only two. Usually they give birth to 21-30+, to be fair the bigger fish could have gotten most of them before I noticed. I then noticed two of my male guppies missing.

This is especially odd because neither of the female guppies looked pregnant at all and they were still a bit young (probably not too young for a fish, but again did not look pregnant, and I have bred guppies and other fish).

Now I’m curious to know if the babies will end up being male or female. Only time will tell. I also do have a snail infestation to be fair, so if a fish dies, they would be on the cleaning crew real quick. We also have cats, but they have never shown interest. Still a possibility though.

Anyway, just thought it was interesting. And I now have a better fitting lid. The babies are in a baby net safe and sound. This happened about a week ago and they have been doing great. No other missing fish.

Ok so the first 2 times I went to look inside the dryer and didn’t see the rug, I thought to myself “I should take a picture because this is crazy” but I didn’t.

This happened last week, I like to clean my bathroom sometimes before I shower, so I wiped everything down and while cleaning up I put my 2 bathroom floor rugs in the washer. When there done in the wash I put them in the dryer. One is a fluffy purple rug and the other is a medium towel I put down over the purple rug to step on when I get out.

I hear the dryer timer go off and when I went to get the rugs out, it was only the green one. I’m like wtf. My brother was there so I thought well maybe he’s gonna take a shower and took the rug out for himself. So I ask him “ hey did you take out the purple rug” he says no. So I go back in the basement, open the dryer damn near stick my head inside the dryer and put my arm in to feel around, atp I’m thinking maybe it got stuck at the top or something. BUT NO! THATS when I thought to myself i should take a pic of the inside of the dryer because this is crazy wtf. But I don’t. I go look alll around the house thinking maybe I put it down somewhere ( I knew I didn’t but I had to look everywhere for the sake of my mental and you know where the heck did it go). Now my brothers helping me look but only place he didn’t look was the dryer ( just for context)

I checked that dryer atleast 7 times. About 20 min later I’m going up and down looking everywhere, I look in the dryer and the door is wide open with the purple rug just sitting right there in the flipping dryer 😳. No one was playing a trick on me and my brother had been upstairs the entire time. I get really emotional when I think about now because wtf, first thing I thought was does my dryer have a vortex inside of it or is something messing with me. Because I KNOW THAT PURPLE RUG WAS NOT IN THAT DRYER FOR ABOUT 20-30 min and then it just popped back in there. Idk but yea I can’t stop thinking about and I’m someone that does a load of laundry atleast once every two days I can’t stop thinking about it.

Has anyone ever had this happen before?
