They're probably terrifying when you have them too. I'm sorry you have to go through that.

That's awful. In both cases.

I guess I asked this because I was wondering how people cope with it. I'm having a hard time.

My mental issues actualy help me cope with real world. It is refreshing to hear and see something thats not an utter bullshit.
Or maybe my buddies are just feeling sorry for me. In wich case im grateful to them.

i'm not sure if i'm schizophrenic because i've never been diagnosed, but i get really bad hallucinations and paranoid thoughts and ill hear voices sometimes. but i mean i don't know. that could be anything.

 

[so tired or manic]

I've seen and heard things before. there's been hospitalizations where for a week or so during it's been solid hallucinations. no idea what caused them, but maybe it was a drug I happened to be given both times.

I've also had more mild hallucinations that have probably been caused by eating gluten. last one was i kept hearing my dead brother crying and I was so upset I couldn't find him to help him.

it's never constant, always caused by something.

It might not mean schizophrenia, but it sounds like psychosis of some sort. Do you ever get negative symptoms? Like anhedonia, apathy, or the like?

Thanks for sharing.

That can be scary. I've had instances where I kept seeing my dead ex. I've also had trouble with disassociation. Phone calls used to be really difficult because of that.

Not schizophrenic but definitely personality disorders, clinical depression and social phobia.
