Hallucinations Thread

[Steel Maiden]

This is for anyone who experience hallucinations of any kind.

I hear voices, see things and hallucinate smells. I see spies that follow me around and there's this Woman who also follows me. Sometimes I hallucinate random stuff too. Sometimes the hallucinations encourage my apparent delusions.

Tell me about yours if you want.

Hey
This thread might trigger hun, but anyways.

I mainly get weird thoughts, as opposed to halluncinations, but i have felt things and heard things before. I *sense* the presence of people who apparently arent there too. x

[88shelz]

*groans* tv, radio, hoover...the voice gets through those things. i turn them off and sometimes it still manages to communicate. i have to be careful what i say here. they conspire against me. they want to get rid of me... i know the game so i play it jjust to keep safe. i dont want them to hurt me.some of the doctors are part of the plan..im safe now though. i have one doctor who isnt part of the plan and she understands. thats about all i can say..im worried i have all ready said too much, they dont like me telling anyone

I hear a spirrit who soemtimes calls me names, shouts at me tells me to do things or klill myself and other people. I have a manfollowing me whjo tells me to kill my parents and i getthoughts about the opposite of god taking over the world through me. im th link and if i were to be dead he wouldnt be able to do it so the only way to stop it is for me to die. I also get the army sppying on me, plotting against me.

Sorry I'll add a trigger warning when I get home. I can't do it on my mobile (which I'm using now) because the HTML/php/whatever support is limited on my mobile.
Thank you for the replies.
I saw 107 spies today. I wonder if they're digital or analogue...

[minnie]

i don't think it's a hallucination, but there's a man in my head. he lives somewhere in the world and is human but more powerful so he can read my thoughts and other stuff about me and talk to me. he's never nice but he can be... maybe tempting is the word. he also has power over other people, but not so they'd know it was him (like during my exams last year he was going to hurt my family). i've never seen what he looks like, i don't think he wants me to in case that gave me some power against him. he gets most angry when i talk to people but he's happy if he thinks i'm hurting myself. there are other voices too but they just are there in my head when i'm stressed and shout at me.

I think mine are due to narcolepsy or another type of sleep disorder.

I experience sleep paralysis accompanied by hypnogogic and hypnopompic hallucinations, both auditory and visual, on a regular basis. It's been going on since I was 19, and has progressively gotten worse, especially under stress. Generally, I either see shadow people in my bedroom hovering over me or spinning in my desk chair...I hear things like radio static or unintelligble voices, whispering, etc. I once saw the carpet morph into different shapes...It resembled the flashing colors of an after-image or what you see after staring at the sun...The weird thing is, it would morph into whatever I was thinking about. I'll never forget my first experience with this: I saw this spiderman-like alien thing climbing along my wall and ceiling. Scared the sh*t out of me. I'm kind of used to it now, but I still get frightened. I think the worst is experiencing a presence in my room, but not being able to "see" anything.

It's also frustrating because a lot of people write it off and think I am making it up, or undermine how scary it can be. I hope to get a sleep study done to figure things out in the next month or so.

For the longest time I've always heard faint mumbling and music in the distance. When I was put on liquid morphine (in super high doses) the voices and music became 100%. Some were funny, some scary, some crazy, and others just straight up detrimental.

My mind used the auditory hallucinations to bring back repressed memories of childhood sexual abuse when I was three as well as other disturbing memories.

Of course I had tons of visual hallucinations that were just as varied as the auditory ones. I also had the morphine nightmares and waking hallucinations that was mentioned above and are horribly frightening.

Now that I'm off of the morphine the hallucinations have returned to the faint mumbles and music, but I'm hoping that my Psychiatrist will help me with those.

To those that suffer from hallucinations of any kind, I can relate and all I can do is encourage you to get help in making them stop. *hugs*

[alienshe_cheesycake]

I hear 4 voices in my head
One is a horrible man who swears at me and is generally horribly abusive towards me, I can drown him out with music sometimes

Another is a horrible man who mocks everything I do and is also abusive towards me (but he doesn't swear as much)
he is quite easy to block out with music as he doesn't get too loud

the third man tells me to kill myself and tells me that I have to die
he is always encouraging me to SI or OD, he can get really loud and hard to ignore, in the past I have SI'd or OD'd to make him go away

the last voice is the scariest, a girl who tells me to stab people and kill everyone, she is obsessed with the idea that everyone is trying to access my thoughts and that I have to stop them by killing them
she scares the sh*t out of me and is very hard to block out or ignore when she starts at me

I have also had visions of blood on my hands and delusional thoughts that I've killed people or that the girl voice has possesed me in my sleep and made me kill people
I have also had weird visual hallucinations of peoples faces melting into walls, stuff like that

Also , when I'm out in public around a lot of people I get the sensation that my stream of conciousness is being accesed by all these people and that they are reading my mind which frightens me also

I was sectioned in June when I was sent to A+E and told them about the voices and since then I've been on Olanzapine(17.5mg) which has helped the voices go away somewhat, but I still get them sometimes which sucks because it scares me

Heya ,

Thank you for making this thread :)

I've suffered from hallucinations for a looong time as i remember since i was a kid,seeing things mostly , and rarely heard voices and sounds .

I'm still suffering on daily basis from hallucinations like right now :( but i'm trying not make it annoy me , it gets really hard sometimes ugh.I'm trying to get my drving lisence and i know for sure that hallucinations will make this difficult,if not impossible,noone knows from my family,but my pysch knows and he gave me me meds perphenize 8 gm and to be honest it's not making me any better

[Eir]

did have them. currently miss them.
aphazriel - black cat, bat wings. generally looked out for me, although sometimes misguidedly. he even did my yr12 exams for me. pity he didn't listen in class.
meemi - little girl who would stand at the end of my bed and scream, until aphazriel asked her to stop
selene - evil tall slender elfin lady. didn't like me eating
they were the main ones. all visual, auditory and tactile.
add voices from random objects (one of the best convos i ever had was with my razor) shadows darting everywhere and the little blond boy who would peer over the end of my bed.
all since i was little til i was about 21

[Diamonds.]

I see, hear and smell three people.

I have:

Micheal Myers. Out of Halloween (Horror Film). He ALWAYS smells of blood. Calls me useless, worthless, i shouldn't of been born.

Samara: Girl out of The Ring (Horror Film). She smells of perfume. Nice. She's an evil bitch! Calls me fat, ugly, worthless piece of ****, i should go ****ing myself. I should die.

Kayako: Woman out of The Grudge (Horror Film). Smells mouldy. She says the same things as Samara.

I have VERY bad nightmares aswell. I can't seem to pull myself out of them.

Oh dear...

Yes I think so. I don't think they've revised it since then.

Today I heard voices telling me to kill my Mother with a kitchen knife from the knife rack (my Mother was hurling verbal and emotional abuse at me). I didn't do it, but when we went for a walk around the streets, the voices told me to punch my Mother in the face (I am a kickboxer so my punch is very strong and could easily break her nose). I didn't do this but then for the whole walk I kept seeing the spies (grey suits, grey hats and black shoes, about 6ft tall) across the road holding knives that were dripping with blood and telling me to do the same to my Mother.
I see the spies a lot. I saw 107 yesterday and 73 today. Yes, I count them. I have nothing better to do.

[lower than myself]

I hear voices & have this creepy little man follow me around everywhere, he says he'll kill me if I told anyone (counsellor's, parents etc) about him & it really scares me, the other day I saw blood on my hands & like someone mentioned before, I find it hard to pull myself out of my nightmare's...

[_plastic]

^ You should tell someone dear, this voice is only in your head it's not true , reach out for help xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[lower than myself]

I know I should, but I'm scared, I know they're not real, but it's got to the point where anything could happen & I don't want to be put on different medication even though the stuff I'm not on isn't helping... if that makes sense...

xxxx

[_plastic]

Good thing that you know they ain't real (:

Are u afraid of what may be the side effects of the meds?
