When you hallucinate

Does it help to remind yourself that hallucinations can seem super real? In your experience?

I hear voices. They seem very real to me.

With audio hullicinations I’ll have the radio on and not register a sentence being said on it.

Reminding myself does no good. On the one hand, I either know for absolute certain that the hallucinations are purely imaginary, or, on the other hand, the illusions seem so real that they cannot possibly be imaginary.

When I see the shadow people, I attribute it to demons/spirits but this is damaging I know. Of course I saw them, but* I remind myself they are not real.

When I believe my hallucinations all I tell myself is the things I am not getting done. I just focus on getting something done. Instead of being frustrated that I am believing my delusions I become frustrated that I am not raking the leaves or something.

That sounds clever. I’ll have to try it.

It takes my breath away i can’t deal with fear and paranoia

They sound real to me as well but it’s just mental illness
