A guy named Jack says:
“When this incident happened, I was undergoing medical treatment, and my personal life was just beginning to improve.
A few months earlier, the doctors had revealed that I had a strong feeling of anxiety caused by some kind of suppressed memories, and I was taking special anxiety suppressants.
From the pills, I felt very out of shape, but I was aware of my actions and perceived everything normally.
So that day, I took my pills and went to my friend's house, since we agreed to meet and go on a date. Her house is just 15 minutes walk from my house. I walked normally and met her at the house, but noticed that she was looking at me in a strange way.
After some confusion, she suddenly blurted out, “Why didn't you tell me that you were leaving and why did you leave?”. I was dumbfounded and began to say that I had just come as we agreed, but she looked at me with disbelief.
Then she nervously told that from her house she saw “I” walking towards her along the sidewalk, and now, when “I” was already very close, “I” found myself in an area unlit by lanterns and … did not appear again.
She was sure that it was the real me, as she could make out the face of this person, but at the same time she said that I was dressed in all black. And I was wearing a light brown sweater. My girlfriend was sure that I suddenly changed my mind about coming and she was very angry because of this, thinking that I decided to leave her.

I began to tell her that she probably confused me with someone, because she saw a false me 10-15 minutes before I myself went to her. But she swore that that man was me.
Still arguing, we went for a couple of walks in the park. We had a good walk, and then late in the evening I saw the girl off and went to my house.
And when I stepped on the threshold of the house, I found myself among my relatives, who were in a very nervous state.
As it turned out, shortly after I left the house and went to the girl on a date, one of my younger brothers saw me sitting on the floor of the toilet with my head bowed on my knees. Then this child ran to his grandmother to tell her that I felt bad again, but when they both went to the toilet, “I” was no longer there.
I really do sit in this position when I have an anxiety attack. But I was with a girl! And my brother did not lie, our grandmother always strictly reprimanded children for lying, and no one would upset her for the sake of a joke.
When I showed up safely, everyone started asking the boy what I looked like when he saw me in the toilet and what he was wearing. He described that I was dressed all in black. Then I got quite nervous and shivers ran down my spine. My girlfriend described the “second me” in the same way!
I still cannot understand what happened that day and what kind of person it was. Either he was very much like me and entered my house, or it was some kind of mystical split of me. I tried to explain everything to my family and they were stunned, but they also don't know what it was."
