What do you guys think was the intention with this? I recently had an episode of mania, and was behaving a bit oddly, but I confirmed with my mother (this was her condo I'm renting it) that it wasn't here when she left and I've never seen it before :|

& I do realize in hindsight it is a lot smaller than 4 inches. As the other poster suggested, I'm not trying to ascribe meaning to it.. just wondering if anyone is familiar with the potential symbology.

I grew up in a literal haunted house. All of my 4 older siblings had things happen, their friends would never want to sleep over after one time and would often leave early. Even my older brother when he was 16 with 4 other teenage boys had an apparition appear in the garage they were all sleeping and they ran out screaming.

My first memory with it was playing hide and seek when I was 4 and being under a desk, with my ear pressed against the wall. I heard a man's whispering. I didn't realize until I was 18 that where that wall bordered was directly adjacent to the closet one of my sisters had a shadowy figure stare at her from at night for years. She would often ask if any of us would sleep in there with her at night as she was terrified.

I am 100% serious, though being diagnosed later in life with bipolar type 1... Well, it is hard to be definitive about such things. I have another example if y'all are interested in hearing about it :|

There's no meaning to it. It's just a rock that happens to have a circle mark on it.

Definitely just a rock. Here's a link where you can see lots of rocks with interesting markings, including a bunch that look like yours but with even more delineated markings.

OP if you're thinking of this as anything other than just a regular rock then I'd suggest maybe getting in touch with your doctor
