Someone left a 4 inch rock rock with a line circle carved in it in the dirt next to my door (lemy.lol)

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 :|

Perhaps your subconscious has noticed other signs of potential trouble from whoever left the rock, leading to hyper vigilance as a defense measure, which has a lot of overlap with mania.

Your manic episode could have been triggered by the adrenaline and norepinephrine release of the hypervigilant state.
