Fear of an Imaginary Cat

I just got scared.

I woke this morning hearing a cat crying outside my window. I even saw it for a moment.

Tonight I started hearing it again so I went out to investigate. The trouble was that when I got down into the garden I coud hear the crying coming from all around me. I think it might not be real. I got scared and called Ruth which calmed me down.

I know that I have been feeling bad today, visiting mum in hospital was stressful. Driving back home the overwhelmeing feeling that I just couldnt cope any more, almost had me in tears. I've also been sleep deprived lately, as I try to get myself back into a day light and mornings routine.

I can ususally tell when something that I see or hear is an hallucination. Its rare that one hits me as indestinguishable from reality.

I think that I should just ignore any crying cat in the garden noises for the time being.
