Stress and anxiety make my hallucinations (both visual and audio) much worse. Are you feeling more stress than usual?

Definitely. Overwhelmed/stressed and feeling pretty down, like I have no energy, could sleep forever and TMI- but over the last week I’ve lost interest in sex which is odd for me.
Sorry to hear it. I’ve been losing interest in things I normally enjoy. I think it’s the shorter, colder days. Is there anything you can do to de-stress?

It’s all good…
And no, nothing I can really do to de-stress. I have an almost 2 year old so it’s hard to get a substantial break…
I guess when the husband wakes up I’m gonna tell him my concerns

Can any relatives step in to give you a few breaks?

I have read the book about hallucinations written by Oliver Sacks - he says that hallucinations is very common for otherwise healthy, neurotypical people, so don’t worry, if you feel good anyway there is no alarm

Can you move back? (I’m serious.) It’s good to have a support system when you have a condition like schizophrenia.

Not exactly. I don’t want to get into too much detail but the husband can’t leave his job and I don’t want to leave him here alone

I don’t have much experience with visual hallucinations

I used to have visual hallucinations, mainly spiders.
But I was able to tell they weren’t real because they were too big to be real.
It didn’t get too weird though.
I don’t have them anymore and hope yours will go away quickly.

I hallucinate like I’m on mushrooms and acid when I do to much. Maybe it’s just stress. I have specific things that I experience when I’m about to have a full psychotic break though or get off my meds and am declining mentally. Are you experiencing anything like that? Maybe it’s not a sign of a looming psychotic break. Idk though. Talking to your husband sounds like a good idea.

Maybe your husband can give you a break from taking care of the two year old.
