Who could smell things and taste things during psychosis that they usually don’t smell.
I used to smell this reeeeally weird smell that weirded me out at my worst during psychosis so now like this morning when I smell it again it really isn’t amazing cos it reminds me of that time. I actually used to think it was a smell coming down from my brain which was apparently slowly melting or something
And during my second episode the tap water tasted very metallic and I think it was part of my delusion that time is running out o need to save the world from pollution.
I once hallucinated the smell of burning electronics when I thought nasty things to get the “controllers” to fry my brainchip. I thought it had a killswitch and I was so fed up I wanted them to trip it.
When I’m starting to take a turn for the worse, food will taste moldy or rotten, even when I know it’s fine.
I’ll eat a few mouthfulls, and then the taste will hit me and I get nauseous.
Every now and then i’ll smell something that apparently isn’t there. Sometimes it’s a bad smell, like dog poo, sometimes it’s like food cooking when no ones cooking. It comes and goes.
Food tastes and smells nasty when I’m not feeling well. It sucks because the autoimmune disorders I have will give me a metal taste even when not psychotic at times.
I think, that I don’t have ‘‘smell’’ hallucinations, but I know in this illness, that the smell could be increased or decreased also. Its my case. I guess, its linked to the emotions, cause I am the same with the emotions and its quite painful .
Socrates pretended to know nothing cos he wanted to make the other guy to search inside of him for the right answer. Plato believed that we already possess the truth but we must recall it
