Hello, I’ve just made an account here and I’ve never really participated in any forum in my life.
I’ve come here looking to hear about what your experiences might be like. I actually feel uncomfortable disclosing what is that I experience, so maybe you can start. I have some feeling that I’m not supposed to tell people what’s happening. Not because of a social stigma but because of some cosmic rule that I don’t entirely grasp, but yet, can feel.
What’s up with you?

No diagnosis. Not really feeling willing to go to a doctor.
Thanks, I hope so. Feeling a bit crazy and I would really like to feel among people who understand.
Everybody, so sorry for my delay. I did not expect to receive such speedy replies. I hope you are all doing well.
I’m very interested to hear what your experiences are like.
Hello, and welcome! I hope you find what you’re looking for, here.
I don’t currently have any positive symptoms, but before my medication, I would hallucinate music and voices. I also struggled a lot with the belief that I was a demon who sucked the life out of people.

You thought you were my mother-in-law?

I don’t hallucinate or hear things. But I’m diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. If I don’t take meds I drift into a dream world and I’m likely to think I can fly and jump off a building.
If you suspect something’s wrong you should see a doctor.
And welcome to the forum.

When I’m not on medicine I hear voices and have delusions, such as people reading my mind, life being a simulation, and being watched. Even on medicine I have some paranoia, but not much in my opinion. I have an extreme fear of being alone. My symptoms that still occur on medicine are my trouble making eye contact (I can’t do it at all,) trouble sleeping, trouble focusing, problems remembering things, stuff like that. I have one friend, who I haven’t talked to since January. I’m pretty high functioning in my opinion. Welcome to the forum!
I would have gone with succubus.

Hello Diver,
I’ve had 5 psychotic breakdowns during which i would read double/ triple meanings into TV, Radio, Computers, Newspapers, License Plates, Billboards, Signs on trucks…and then people and objects.
My Doctor told me to avoid my triggers. I told him that my triggers were people, places and things! We both shared a laugh over that line, but i was being honest.
Perhaps you could tell us what you are experiencing at the moment that is out of the ordinary?
I had delusions after college. Then I got on meds and have no positive symptoms and have largely started rebuilding my life like a normal person. I started working a job with decent pay and benefits, side gigs helping the mental health organization and assisting a high school debate team, made new friends, trying dating. And it’s only been a little over a year since I was treated. I strongly recommend meds and taking advantage of all your resources like support groups, Dvr, and therapy. Get treated. That is your best chance at a normal life.
Hi Diver! Welcome to the forums. I have supposed delusional thinking at times. Since I’ve started meds I don’t often hear voices as much anymore. I’ve also suffered from tactile hallucinations.
I too had a chuckle about your line lol. Hope you’re doing well.
As for the things I’m experiencing, I want to firstly say that I don’t think I’m schizophrenic, even though a number of people that I have talked to would disagree with me.
For me I see and hear things a lot, but see things much more. Seeing creatures, people, animals, objects are glowing. Random ‘tears’ through space that are so bright, but don’t hurt my eyes - they’re actually very attractive to look at. Sometimes the world seems to flip into an alternate dimension and I very vividly see creatures everywhere, but still the same land and buildings. Just humans are gone and new creatures are there.
Weird experiences with time - I’m convinced it’s not a linear phenomenon, despite our perception of it being so. There’s a lot more, but I don’t want to take up all of your time with these words.

Hope you’re doing great 
Somedays I am great and I embrace these experiences. Somedays I don’t want to see the unseen and want to be a normal human who likes money and things. On those days I strongly consider taking up some prescripts to try and drown it out. We’ll see.
I should say I’m very much so into meditation and can to some degree, navigate these experiences, but largely I’m a novice and don’t have control over even most of the things.
Thank you for your welcoming. Everyone has made me feel very welcome. It’s quite nice given the ‘sensitive nature’ of the subject matter and it being my first ever forum. Thanks again Hope you’re well.
