most of the time I know its not real but sometimes im unsure. like its like if I see something out of the ordinary I question it but still see it if that makes sense?

I also kept saying to myself "this is only temporary" to keep myself going. Now I rarely have visual hallucinations.

good idea Ill try that.
I always have my phone so watching music videos on that might help.
