The only visual hallucination I’ve ever had was a hypnopompic hallucination I had when I was just waking up, so I don’t think that qualifies.

I had non stop visuals in jail, but after getting out and getting back on meds they went away. Wish the auditory ones would go away too.

I use to get them sometimes when I first became psychotic, but I haven’t had them in years, since being on meds, so I chose never.

I voted “sometimes”, because it depends on how I’m doing, mentally. If I’m going through a rough patch, I’ll visually hallucinate multiple times per day. But if I’m doing better and more stable, it’s more rare.

On meds I don’t experience visuals.
Off meds, watch out!

I said rarely but the truth is I honestly am not sure. I know when something is odd but if something isn’t odd how would I know for sure.

When I’m off my meds everything is altered in my vision for example I see moving pictures on the wall a light has a face stuff like that on my meds I don’t usually and the weird part was I’ve always had visuals till meds then I learned it wasn’t normal

actually idk
but sometime i am aware of having v.h
they are …!!!scary!!!
i am afraid they torture me with it becoz i said they are scary

In solitary in jail a hologram of Lawrence Fishburne came into my cell dressed like Morpheus from the Matrix. I defeated him with my karate moves and he vanished.

I was pretty psychotic, they weren’t giving me my meds.

The last time I had visual hallucinations was when I was seventeen. I think I was medicated on Geodon. I was forced to take it and was just out of the psyche ward. I developed auditory hallucinations there, and it never got any better from being there…I was better off if my parents hadnt hospitalized me. I started hearing voices saying that I was being domesticated and I didnt know what it meant, and dreams about white blood cells and doctors. I can trace the voice hearing back to the hospital. Before then I was simply delusional…and then I was put in a study to test the newer atypical antipsychotics, given a secret TMS lobotomy and forced pills as response to abuse. I wish I could sue them they basically created my disease. At this point I would have to sue the entire system of psychiatry.

Mostly auditory delusions aka the voices.

Rarely. I’ve only had visual hallucinations a few handfuls of times, but I have had occasions of misinterpreting what I saw.
Like the time I couldn’t recognise myself in the mirror, or when moving things in my periferal vision gets interpeted as threats coming towards me

Ghosts and spirits, reality shifting and breathing, angels.

Happens when I’m not doing too well.
