I see emotions as an energy on faces and things

Hi I’m new and wanted to start off with the thing that has been bothering me most lately.

The biggest problem i have is that I see emotions as if they are hallucinations, and it’s always whenever I feel an emotion near my eyes. It’s like as if the emotion is an energy and when that energy gets to my eyes, I can see it on other people. I want to believe its a hallucination that I have control over but the fact that its always whenever I feel emotion near my eyes that I see it makes me think its something spiritual or having to do with God. I’ve had things like thought insertion when I think its God talking to me and I’ve had many delusions with a religious or grandiose tone too.

It’s like each emotion corresponds with the facial expression of the person/picture and each has its own unique look to it. Whenever I see it or feel emotion in this way (near my eyes and in my forehead), it seems like I’m more conscious then when I’m not, like my vision gets clearer and I feel more aware. I always happens when its near my forehead so it makes me think its my pre-frontal cortex doing something strange but I see it on cartoons and video game faces too. I even see it on animals and insects too.

Have you ever had this happen to you or heard of anything like this? I hate hate hate it and just want it to go away like how it used to be. I’m currently taking Risperdal and it does nothing to stop this. I am really hoping that there’s a med out there that could make this go away or at least allow me to feel emotion normally without seeing it on other people.

Hi and welcome to SZ.com. Wondering why you haven’t spoken to your pdoc on this?

My “schizophrenia” is spiritual too. This is a tough road and there is nothing much your pdoc can do but prescribe ■■■■■■■■ drugs that cause nothing but side effects.

Welcome to the forum.

How long have you been taking respiridal?

If you have only just started, give it a bit of time to build up in your system and start working.

It can take over a month for that to happen.

Talk to your psychiatrist about everything you are experiencing.

Hey @ColonelMustard welcome to the forums :slight_smile:

I’ve had that, eventually disappeared on meds. I take Risperdal cousin, Invega.

Maybe you just need to be patient.

With my delusions took me a whole while for them to dissipate, but eventually they did.

Just hang in there, and keep coming here. This is a very supportive community.
