Hi, does anybody get delusional that everyone in your neighbourhood is out to bash/kill you…
and think your hearing is very good or that you are psychic etc… ?
how do you tell the difference between your voices and real ones… ?
any helpful comments are welcome…
Wow that sounds really similar to the types of hallucinations and delusions that I have. I thought that everyone in my neighborhood wanted to kill me so I traveled around with weapons. Also I kept thinking that I could hear people in their houses too. I had an office and I kept thinking that I could hear the people talking about me outside of my office. Telling the difference between them for me at least is very difficult. I used to think that I could tell the difference because I thought that the hallucinations were quiet. However when I started to become psychotic they started screaming at me. I don’t know if it is a hallucination or what but now I can still hear people talk about me while they are still in the area. They say stuff like I hate that guy or I want to kill him. What was weird is that for a long time what I heard was a woman crying and then a man crying saying I killed his brother.
thank you, it is good to know it happens to others as well - it makes you feel excessively paranoid and terrified even - i currently think my house is filled with bugs and cameras and everyone in the street is talking about harmin me or my family, there really seems to be no eay to dusprove the dellusions - because even if you went and asked people surely if they were out to get you they would’nt tell the truth anyway !
Ive been dealing with this so long that when it comes to the voices if other people are around i wait to see if they respond to them if im alone i know their the friends and enemies inside me. If i hear my name called ill look around slowly waiting to see if a person says it again and looks at me. I can tell when its my conscious speaking to me cause it sounds just like me the others all sound different tone volume accent etc. ive also been taking my treatment very serious for the first time in my life and asking and getting all the help i can find. You can always ask me i have alot of mental illness that i deal with it so ive learned to tell whats reality to others and whats just my reality that other people dont see hear smell or share with me.
Hi and thanks for your reply, do your voices have their own personalities and memories ? do they help and hinder you ? do they have entire conversations about and to you ?
So i have major depressive disorder schizophrenia borderline personality anxiety ptsd and ADD/ADHD im on alot of meds and still i see and hear things there are also times i disconnect and miss hours or days and have no clue what ive done but most of the time i didnt do anything bad my voice make commands some good some bad some of my voices i can see them like they are a real human. Sometimes they talk back and forth about me or about what im trying to think some down me and make me feel worthless and like i dont deserve life and at times the other voices have got into fights with those bad ones like their standing up for me. I have to track and write everything in my phone cause sometimes i cant remember like ive disassociated my self from it all when i walk in or from time to time i look at what i have wrote and its like it wasn’t me sometimes in my head i know what i need to tell my doctor but its like the people/spirits inside of me are controlling me cause they know if i keep getting help they wont be able to run me or ruin me. If i had it my way id keep the good ones and get ride of the bad ones but it dont work like that all you can do is get treatment learn to control it and cope with it and determine your reality from social reality
you sound unstable. I would get a psychiatrist and adjust and/or get on meds soon. I hope you get the help you need.
thanks again for your reply @Mentalnikki214 yeah it does seem like all you can do is learn to cope better with it to me as well or just slog through it and hope to come out good on the other side, or at least better than before…
Hard to explain but you’re not the only one
thanks for your reply @jukebox, yes i am very unstable, i hear lots of voices and am seeing a grey fog coming out of things - and certain objects appear to move and or bend and am very paranoid, get physical sensations on my body and am highly delusional - i have been on many different kinds of medications for indisclosed reasons i cannot take most of them but am currently on the only two that i can be on so far without worse effects… i will continue to try and focus on the good - the sounds that are better than others like certain voices etc… not much else to do…
thanks @Supermanslice it feels better to know your not alone in crttain things…
Just find ways to define whats real to you and not other and whats real to you and others and when they try to give you bad ideas just let them know you are in control not them even if they think or want to be in control. And follow treatment as directed i spent so long running from it im mad now cause i follow it 100% and now im so behind and its like starting all over again
@Mentalnikki214 yeah pretty much the same here, i never really stuck with treatment and my schizophrenia has seemingly rapidly degraded recently over the last few months/years…
So maybe its time to turn to a new page and start over your posting on here so your aware to your problem and also by posting you must want help so admit your self get treatment if the medication isnt working be honest with the doctor it could be the wrong one for you treatment recovery and learning to cope with it can take years before you find what helps and works for you
Hi mexxem, I thought the president wanted to hurt me and wanted me dead. It was because he thought I hurt his nephew. He poisoned my drink which caused my brain to feel like it was melting that’s how he got back at me. Still afraid of him. But all I think of now are intrusive thoughts and the president threatening me ever so often.
thanks for your words, i seem to have calmed down a bit just from communicating the points across though not to mention recent admissions anyway so not looking forward to more… hopefully i can stay good and remain coping…
thanks @see121 it is a good feeling to know others go through delusions as well… i am still delusional but at least i have calmed down…
Strange I had a hallucination where my senator was talking about me to congress and telling them to leave me alone.
Say to your self 1 good thing about yourself everyday and increase by one when u reach 5 do it before bed too and keep increasing and say the opposite to yourself of what bad things u think ppl r saying. Keep yoursself esteem up and be happy
thanks @lastdragon that sounds like a nice idea… much better than contacting authorities and possibly hurting the name of others as per usual… thanks again for such a nice idea…
