My "6th sense" hallucinations seem to have gone away

I’ve suffered with extracampine hallucinations all my life, but they kicked up a gear when I was 26. I’m 55 now.

Extracampine hallucinations are a type of hallucination, often described as a “felt presence” or a vague sense of someone or something being nearby, without any associated visual or auditory perception.

I’ve always thought if they went away I’d basically be cured.

Well, they’ve gone away. But I don’t feel cured! :sob:

But it’s certainly progress.

I did nothing to bring this about.

I hope they don’t come back.

i kind of believe that some things fade over time, i think time can be a great healer, i think a lot of people would agree but i could be wrong.

What a joke.

Just a head fake.

Everything is back. I feel like a fool.

Sorry to hear that @wave

Every so often I get relief from various symptoms but they always come back and I end up feeling foolish for believing I’d turned some kind of corner.

I’m so sorry that it didn’t last. No need to feel foolish; this forum is full of very understanding people. Happy thoughts for you.

I am 55 years old too, dealing with diagnosed schizophrenia since I am 19 years old. So many times I thought to myself, “yes, this time I am free” and relapse for one reason or the other. But my “mental illness” today doesn’t reflect my mental state from 1988.
