Hi. wave I’m new and trying to figure stuff out. I have paranoias like cameras watching me, pictures watching me, everyone secretly hating me (even family and friends), people always being outside my windows and watching me, and I’m always scared that the last thing I say when I part ways with anyone will be THE LAST thing they will ever hear (i.e. die).
My question, though, is about hallucinations. My mom has schizoaffective disorder, but she won’t admit it or talk about it. I’m wondering how to tell the difference between seeing ghosts and hallucinations… 'Cause I see ghosts (I think). Does anyone have advice?
Well in my house alot of people see shadow people so if more than one person sees it I’m more inclined to think it’s spirits otherwise it may or may not be a hallucination.
Thank you for your reply. One of the ghosts I saw was supposedly seen, at a later date, by my friend. But the other ones were only seen by me, when alone or not.
I have to preface my post by saying that I am not a doctor and I don’t know the specifics of your situation since this is the internet.
Now, that being said it’s most likely what they would call a hallucination. I used to be tormented by what I would call a “demon” or “entity.”
And again, I am not an expert, but I can speak from my experience and background that even if there are spirits on earth, or whatever you wish to call them, they wont pick people in the universe to torment.
It’s illogical.
Hope you feel better soon and I strongly recommend talking to a professional. A lot of us have delusions that are similar, but thanks to medication, family support, and therapy we are able to lead fulfilling lives.
