Hi,
I’m getting use to the word « voices » (it has been of some help to use it, I mean the word - I guess I’ve kind of succeed in intellectualizing the sit into something that can have a fcking sense).
What I’d like to know is the difference say between talking alone in a room as if someone was there, and actually imagining someone being there and talking with the fcking thing). Usually, when someone who suffers from Sz says he/she has visual hallucinations, does he/she sees kind of an image of the person (a “til”) or does he/she actually sees an actual person that ain’t there, or does he/she sees a person and think its something / someone else (I’m pretty sure this last one would be a “psychosis” of some sort - say, because the things the fcking thing says make the person who suffers of Sz thinks of someone / something else).
Anyhow, if you’d be kind enough to hint me such that I can better share those terms and vocabulary it would be really appreciated. As you might have guessed if you have read any of my previous posts, I have to admit most of those fcking things still remain fcking things for me yet.
Many thanks, and best regards
PS : I was thinking of a situation where I was walking in the street and a guy came up to me, talk to me for say 10-30 seconds (I try to be polite and kind of escape what was, according to what I thought, a complete stranger), and when I turned my back he called me by my first name (turned around, continue the chat I had just escape for day 10-20 more seconds) and went on my way without thinking too much about what had just happened. I was wondering if those kind of situations are called hallucination - not that it did happened to me that much, but they are such situations that I sometimes recalled as being weirder than simply weird.)
