I’m now remembering that I had some visual hallucinations young after childhood sexual abuse. They became more prominent later.
I was wondering if others have had childhood sexual abuse? There is a higher incidence of developing schizophrenia for people who have experienced childhood sexual abuse. That’s why I made this poll. It’s anonymous.

I’m sorry. I was 3-4 and it went on until I told my parents at 5. I was threatened not to tell.

I experienced it bc of a neighbor\friend of the family.
Some kids act out after abuse but I totally shut down. Kids at school thought I couldn’t talk.
Such things can forever alter a life.

Started before I could remember and went on til I was 10. One of my doctors thinks I developed SZA as a result so your statement makes sense to me.

All good. I’m sorry to hear about that. I think it helps to talk about it. If you need someone to talk to I’m here to listen.
