Once again, my husband has pointed out a smell that I just can’t smell. On rare occassions I seem to hallucinate smells, too.
So I finally went online and found a bunch of articles about schizophrenia and its link to altered sense of smell.
I wish psychiatrists would have told me about this… It was one of those symptoms that I just never brought up. I guess now that I am doing better, I am noticing the milder symptoms.
I’ve never had a sense of smell. Always thought it was my allergies… Can you post a link to those articles? Be interesting to read.
I have a sense of smell, but I smell things that no one around me seems to notice. Whatever that means. Smells, like visuals, seem heightened at times.
I can’t smell anything like ever EXCEPT peanuts (I’m allergic) which i can smeel/sense wheb somebody is eating it around me which people always thought i was crazy… Does sound suspicious, now that i think about it… Is there nothing i can trust anymore??? Been questioning everything in my life these past few weeks after the schizo suspicion arose… Coming Wednesday i will finally see the pdoc
Usually I smell things no one else smells
Usually I can’t smell anything at all.
I’ve hallucinated smells before. I could smell this really foul odour in our bedroom a few times. It actually made me feel physically ill. My partner couldn’t smell it. Every now and then it may happen but it’s mostly under control.
I have a pretty acute sense of smell. Minor odors bother me sometimes.
I kind of wish my sense of smell were dulled. I feel like I’m part bloodhound sometimes.
It’s actually a positive evolutionary trait to have a dull sense of smell, it allows you to mingle around people more comfortably. Man’s sense of smell was selectively dulled over generations due to this.
Thank you, i appreciate it
I have a very poor sense of smell.
