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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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.

That is nothing to be ashamed about. The human mind can bend reality to make it seem like things are true. Happens to everyone. I am very sorry for your loss.

Lol. My dad thinks he talks to god when he is drunk. Why would god or the dead want to talk to drunk people? Sober people cant even do that.

That depends on your beliefs. But haven't you ever heard of a medium or having seance? Exactly.

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother :( I can only imagine the emotional hurt and pain you feel, but drinking isn't the solution. I'm with the other people above who say get some professional help. Therapy may be the key to healing and becoming sober

Sorry for your loss. This is quite sad. Grieve and take time for you. There really shouldn't be any judgement to how you chose to cope with such a terrible loss.

I lost my father almost 10 years ago and I'm having a harder time with it now than i ever have before. Your going to go through different stages of grieving and while your drunk you're going to think about it even more! Hang in there!

just cos OP mentioned that he was drunk doesn't mean he has a drinking problem. he just happened to be drunk at the time. seriously can anyone say they've never been drunk. Even I who rarely drinks (in fact the last time was 2 yrs ago) was drunk a couple of times in my life and as you tend to do when you're drunk and already depressed cos of events that have happened (someone died, divorce, etc...) you become even more depressed and melancholy. and people that's normal.

I know people who have never been drunk. I, myself for one. My parents (so they say, I only believe my mom), my aunts, a few uncles. It's possible.
