I fairly frequently get these intense mental images, mostly things I’m anxious about, but sometimes I don’t understand what they’re from. I had one today. I was rubbing my arm foe no reason and my tendon felt weird so ij stopped. But then a minute ish later I had a mental image of me digging into my arm and pulling out my veins like wires, and I genuinely felt something happening. It didn’t hurt but it felt like when you poke at something that has had local anesthesia.
Another one I remember, I had the mental image of my dog burning alive, and I could hear her screaming vaguely.
I get a lot of these too during the day when my anxiety ijs particularly high.

I had a zit on the back of my neck and got a vision of a giant spider crawling out of it. I also have to dodge the game show network’s charity commercial for kids with cleft palettes because I was hallucinating family members but with cleft palettes for hours after I saw it.
I don’t know of any other explanation than SZ, the hallucinations seem random.

I’m not sure the mental image part is a hallucination exactly? But the feelings and sounds I get definitely are. Butbtheyre so vague. Probably thanks to the meds lol.
Hallucinations are wild. I’m pretty new to them so it’s throwing me for a ride
I had these without schizophrenia and with schizophrenia. So I think it’s just severe intrusive thoughts.
