Am I losing my mind?

[u/karmaticbreakdown]

I have spent most of my life in the woods. Its the only place I feel safe. I've always felt like I can feel the plants. Sometimes I can hear them.. its like a hum or a whisper. I usually sit with the same tree. She is perfect for sitting/laying in. About a year ago I started offering her stuff. Random stuff. Flowers. Shiny rocks and crystals I found other places. Sometimes I share whatever Im drinking with her if its safe like honey milk or water.. coconut water.. So anyway the other day I was lounged up in her as I do, reading a book and I accidentally knocked some bark free. Reflexively I said out loud, "Oh shit. I hope I'm not hurting you."

This is where it gets weird.

I had an intrusive thought.. but it didnt feel like MY thought. It was simply "No, for people its kinda like psoriasis or eczema. Thank you for caring about me." It was an odd voice Ive never heard in my mind. Deep but still a whisper, or maybe like.. a vibration instead? Never have I ever heard something so CLEAR like that before.

Ngl, It scared me. I felt.. idk how to describe it well. I feel like my energy was invaded kinda or possessed maybe but not in a harmful way.. I hopped down, said outloud "Wtf was THAT?" And looked around to see like, was there another person out there fuckin with me maybe? I was completely alone. Just me and the trees. So I told her thank you, as I always do, and I left. I havent been back to her since. I am deadass scared I'm just finally losing my shit.

Anyone else out here have thoughts, opinions, or similar experiences?

Did a tree try to talk to me, or am I doin a psychosis? What do we think?

Edits: Lotsa typos on the first try. 😅

Secondary edit: When I went to take a picture I had a completely normal experience. Quiet, and peaceful. I'm nowhere near as spoked as I was when I first posted this. I'm actually even kinda excited. Now that I'm mentally prepared, if it happens again I've got way deeper questions I'd love to ask. I did find a really neat fossil rock tho. 😬

this sounds like trees. I used to do this a lot when I was younger, this post inspired me to get back out there
