Paranoid and hallucinating a stank from me... Argh 😬

I often hate this illness… I so often think my apartment stinks and my family hasn’t noticed when theyve visited… They say it doesn’t stink but My bathroom smells like a jersey sewer to me and a neighbor had the hall door open yesterday and I tripped out and thought it might be my apartment stank… Aaaaaargh… Its so frustrating… I think its in my head…

I also find it comical. Btw

Is that a sz thing? I get that sometimes. I think the house smells. And we have a septic tank and I think I can smell it when I’m in the yard (no one else smells anything) And I worry that I stink… Geesh.
Have you seen the Monty Python skit about the American General who is sure he stinks…? It’s funny.

Anything others cant touch, see, or smell is a hallucination.

Lol no I haven’t seen that but yeah I think I’m imagining it much worse than it is

Not always @Nagel_ovel

Sometimes I hear better than others

@HuckFinn I’m just repeating what the professionals have said to me

Okay I’ll re word it. From the dictionary a hallucination is " an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present."

How are you ?

Me?
Good. I’m new to posting to this site. I signed up for it a long time ago but am just becoming active. I’ve had schizophrenia for 10 years and want to reach out to others.

How are you :smiley:

I’m good this evening. I’m glad you’re here… I’ve found this site to be very supportive. I like most folk here and I’m glad we have this resource :grinning:

I’ve had sza since I was about 17. I’ve found I grow in unique ways.

I didn’t mean to be critical of your statement above.

Peace

I’m glad to be here too! I need others who understand what we are going through. I haven’t yet found the emotional support I need about being sz… I hope this is it! Thanks for the kind welcome!
When I re- read for comment I think I interpreted how u said it…computers…

I get this with my tracksuit bottoms a lot and my mam and dad get frustrated and tell me there is no smell. It’s also the same when it comes to my hands after I bring my dog for a walk. When I think back to it it’s funny but when it’s happening it’s very annoying especially considering my parents don’t know I hear and see things.
