Has anyone’s hallucinations involved their mobile phones?
I’m not sure mine was one but it involved inputting information into my online bank account. And completely fitted my delusions?
Also I had a delusion relating to going hiking and I saw a woman in hiking clothes. To this day I don’t know if it was real because it was real to look at.
Does anybody else here ever hallucinate completely life like people?
That I can never be sure of, sometimes I wonder because there will just be people that seem out of place. But it’s not like I’m going to go up and touch them to make sure. But sometimes I just get a surreal feeling about someone standing someplace off to the side.
I hallucinated an entire field of lifelike elephants on the bus home from work. Next day all I saw was trees so I realised I’d hallucinated the entire field as well. I’d been looking forwards to seeing them again
My phone and computer were hacked. I saw text that was edited before my eyes, youtubers that responded to me as I watched their videos, my news app was directly communicating to me when words were in quotation marks, a group were watching me through my webcam and cameras, plus listening through the microphone. A forum (not this one) was full of people commenting on my life, Facebook was hacked with command prompts. I even met up for coffee with a real life abuser, because I believed the account he was posting from was run by someone else. It was part delusion, part hallucination I think.
It was a miserable and confusing time. My solution was to get a cheaper phone without proper webpages or a camera etc.
I wouldn’t call it a hallucination but one of my early delusions was that I was being monitored through my mobile phone. I thought they could hear me talk through it and even went to the extreme of taking the batteries out at night so that they couldn’t monitor me. Like headspark, it was not a smartphone, even though they were around at the time of this episode, I did not have one. I also thought if I typed something out on the keys they would intercept the typing without me even sending it to anyone.
People do actually hack web cameras and phone cameras. I still block the front camera of my cell phone with either some paper or a bandaid, for this reason. No delusion. Real.
I used to believe I saw ghosts & that I was being haunted. I saw strangers, tall & dark adults, creepy children walking slowly past my bedroom door.
The first person I saw was a blonde haired, blue eyed man, in a red shirt… standing at the top of the stairs at my friend’s house. I was 12 years old. I told her and she just told me it was probably a ghost. Which is why I immediately started believing I saw ghosts. I continued to see more and more.
That was before I knew I was SzA. Now, I know they’re hallucinations. I am medicated now. So, I rarely see human figures. But it does still happen, on occasion. It used to happen often, before I was diagnosed.
