I just got stressed then bam - hallucinations
like what, Jimbob?
I see things that aren’t really there, and hear banging
but that’s only upon waking. Maybe I’m having bad dreams doing it,
used to get them real bad from PTSD.
Sometimes I hear voices in my box fan running. I’m always hot.

I get burning smells which force me to check all the power outlets in the flat

is this just natural stress, or irrational due to illness?
I never thought about stress causing it, but maybe.

I like the stress-vulnerability model of mental illness
yes. i hallucinate anyways without stress. But yes stress can also be a factor.

Now I am feeling better and am rewarded with nice smell sensations
I went through a really stressful time about 3 years ago and it brought on a psychotic episode. I also had the smell hallucinations. I had the smell of a gas leak in my flat. I called out the gas company but he couldn’t smell anything.
