I miss my hallucinations. I feel like they have left me. I used to semi-regularly hallucinate before. But it’s been almost a month since I last hallucinated… I feel so lonely without them.

Yeah, I talk to people.
Thats very good, I would take heart with that and not give too much attention to hallucinations.

This very subject brought me to this forum years and years ago.
I’ve had the same voice/hallucination since I was 12 years old and when it went away due to medication,
I went into a depression.
I missed him so much and felt like I was losing part of myself.
Totally get it.
Are you in therapy?

No, I’m not in therapy.
Therapy may help.
It’s something to consider.

I’m too paranoid for that. Also, will my hallucinations go away if I go to therapy?
My hallucinations didn’t go away with therapy.
But I got better control of them.
What makes you paranoid about therapy?
I don’t trust anyone to share my hallucinations with them

I don’t share everything with anyone.
Including my therapist and husband.
I can say with certainty no one knows the extent of my illness because I’m afraid of hospitalization.
But you can build trust with a therapist.
You don’t just walk in the room and dump all your most personal issues on them.
I still understand if you don’t think it’s for you.

Welcome to the forum! Glad you found us
I get followed by men I’m really afraid of. I’m told they’re not real. If they went away I would not miss them at all.
A few tips on things that confuse newbies:
Cake day is the anniversary date of when you joined.
The 1515 or other numbers at the end of peoples posts are because there’s a 15 character minimum to post. So people put 15s after until they get to the minimum characters to post.
To tag someone, put the @ followed by the name.

You can buy therapy books online - those are a good place to start.

Oh me too! But I’m not “followed” by them. It’s like they’re watching me from my walls, or if I’m outside (where there aren’t walls) they have planted some bug or chip on some random object and can see me through that. They hate me tho. They see me as subhumans. I hate them with my heart. But I’m not talking about them in my original post.

I’m sorry you suffer too, even if it’s different from what I experience. Does anything seem to help you cope?

Trust me it’s so much better for you and all your caregivers if your life is mega boring.

Believe me I understand. I felt lonely when they left for a month too. But I later got to find out why I wanted them gone in the first place when they later came back and believe me it was no picnic. Reunited and it feels so bad.

Did @Bowens say that?
He seems active and still has a shield by his name.
