hallucinations

Post Reply New Topic

Ive had a couple since i can remember...the most prevelant one being objects that i stare at morphing and moving around me...i can look at my apartment ceiling at anytime and i will see the drywall/stuff at the top start to form letters and pictures that i cannot quite make out....strangest thing but very neat when im need stimulation...

i also sometimes see what looks like germs in the air when i am in the right kind of light...its like i am seeing everything underneath a microscope but everything else is regular size...

lastly im not as sure if this is just possibly being hypersensative but i have a tendacy to feel tiny tremors a lot of the time...i think thats a good one to have in california...

I used to get this all the time as a kid. It's gradually diminished as I've got older and only happens very occasionally now. I can induce it by staring at certain objects, such as the rim of a cup or a piano-type keyboard. Sometimes it happens when I'm reading - the black print on the white background has something to do with it.

Not many people seem to know about this! There's very little on the internet and I've searched many times over the years.

Scrulie, its really weird isn't it? I haven't ha dit happen for atleast a month I think. After my head injury it was almost daily and now its more like monthly. Things can also shrink and seem smaller. I fell on my steps several times cause the bottom step looked larger and closer.


Does anyone ever lie and bed and feel like they're getting bigger than smaller, bigger than smaller, bigger than smaller? As a kid is was just my hands that would do that.

Good article on Alice in wonderland syndrome

may have to cut and paste. Ita not working as a link for me.

Yes!! For me it's bigger and smaller at the same time. Or near and far at the same time. And yes my hands and other body parts would feel disproportionately large, or square, or spongey, including my teeth and the inside of my mouth.

I have had it on occasion when ill - I'll be lying in bed and then my thoughts and perceptions make it feel like I have shrunk.
Wierd to think theres a name - I just thought it was fevered delusions or something like that.

I have hallucinated quite badly at times , but overall they range from stuf like a pattern on walpaper turning into a face , folded towels turning into dogs then theres just whole scenes that come out of nowhere , like when i looked out of my window on xmas morning and everyone had put out there bin bags only they hadn't or when the street turned into a river through a wood and Anneka rice was there compering a canooing event.

When I want to.

If I were a visual hallucination; how would you know if I were?

I had a scary voice tell me to kill someone once; the dudes at the mental hospital didn't care when I told them....

Like tinnitus? I get that A LOT.

Sometimes I will hear strange faraway sounds and snippets of music and words...sorta like a radio braodcast just out of range when i am trying to fall asleep...

Um..
oh yeah..once I worked at this vet/kennel place and the hours were very long, and i was not getting much sleep before having to go into work really early in the morning..and so i was sorta in this constant state of overcaffinated fatigue and everywhere I went, out of the corner of my eye, i would see animals that were not really there...but they would vanish when I looked directly at them.
Out of the corner of my eye a scrub brush would look like a cat on the window sill..or I thought I saw a dalmation under a table...or a boston terrier where the mop bucket was. These were very vivid, and my co-wroker saw them too..or at least said he did...(he was keeping late hours too)

But that was years ago, and it is not the sort of thing that happens all the time.

I don't know.
Sometimes i have very little grip on reality.
When it gets too heavy i stay off the drugs for a bit.
No worries.

I had serotonin syndrome a while back ago, because the doctors didn't put two and two together, so I know what this is like, it's kind of cool (kind of), but scary as hell.

I have a poster of Ozzy Osbourne sitting next to me on the wall, when I didn't sleep for three days along witht he serotonin syndrome it did the following

looked to the left

to the right

and then RIGHT at me, and started laughing at me like in the song "Bark at the Moon".

Scary

you have an Ozzy poster on your wall and your called HolyDiver
FOR SHAME!

Nope, nothing like that, thankfully. I've also never done any drugs or drank (well, aside from a sip of wine once at communion). I have a hard enough time dealing with reality as it is without adding something like alcohol or drugs! (And I wouldn't have a clue where to get any if I wanted them I be straight laced type of person )
