Today, in a drunken, depressed state I thought I heard my deceased mother trying to make contact with me from beyond the grave. It took me a moment to realise that the soft voice was from the music my neighbours were playing. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was singing in the shower, not realising the window was open. When I got out, the neighbours were at the front door, loudly arguing with my mother. They were complaining about my awful singing. FML
Today, I heard whimpering while I was in my bedroom. Thinking it was my parents doing something nasty, I let them do it and turned on my music. My parents came home from work and I realised they were never home. I went into the room and saw my dead dog laying on the floor. FML
Today, as usual, my mother had wine when she has the next day off. Three bottles deep, she started talking about an Indian burial ground that haunts the house, and she knows this because they talk to her in her dreams, so she is right. FML
Today, I woke up to an old lady right outside my open window, saying "Hello in there! Are you sleepy?" I was so startled that I answered her. She screamed. Turns out she's my neighbour's elderly mother, didn't know I was in there, and was talking to my cat. FML
Today, I put my headphones on and laid down to relax to some music. I fell asleep, and woke up later to a police officer busting into my house. My neighbor had been knocking on my door, then looked through my window and saw me on my couch, and was convinced I'd died. FML
Today, I was sleeping in my room when I awoke to an unfamiliar female voice in my apartment, followed by a thud. I walked out to find a drunk girl I've never met collapsed in my doorway. After puking all over the place, she had me call her father, who picked her up 10 minutes later. FML
Today, there was a knock on my apartment door. It was the man from next-door, who sarcastically asked if I was alright, because he said he heard me screaming in agony. I was singing. FML
Today, I discovered both how much I really talk to myself when I'm drinking alone and how thin the walls of my apartment are. I heard my own slurred voice coming from my neighbor's apartment. They had recorded me and made a mixtape of some of the more interesting things I had said. FML
Today, I was told by my neighbors that my guitar playing sounded a dying cat. FML
Today, I got a knock on my door at 3 a.m. Turns out, if I ignore my mother long enough, she will assume I have died and will call the cops. FML

You should probably drink a little(or a lot) less.

I'm sorry about your mother, OP. But I hear it isn't uncommon to want to be contacted or given a sign from a dead loved one, drunk or not. Don't feel too bad.

drinking ain't the answer I've seen loved ones go drunk for days over the loss of a loved one

Awww sorry for your loss. If you meditate (while sober) you have more of a chance of getting messages from your Mum. X

0% is not really "more of a chance."

17- First one? You mean none of the ones where the OP realized they had a cheating spouse caught your attention?

How is catching a cheating spouse sweet? Not "aww" as in "aw, man, that sucks ass".

You should probably stop the drinking look to other healthy outings. Sorry about your loss

time to quit drinking!

It sounds like OP is probably drinking because they're depressed beyond belief because of their mother's death. That's just my humble opinion, though.

Join the neighbors party man, they are most likely playing beerpong. On a serious note I'm sorry that you lost your mother. I imagine that as one of the hardest things to deal with. You should consider getting counseling or talking to some friends instead of drinking.

Must have been pretty frustrating. It shows that alcohol is just a cover up and can be misleading. Do something that you think would make her proud, you'll feel a lot closer to her.

I'm sorry, OP. I can imagine losing your mother is very hard. Getting 'signs' could happen even when you're sober though, although I'm again sorry that it was a false alarm. Feel better, OP. hope the pain ebbs eventually.
