Like, do any of you remember things in great detail that never happened? I’m not talking about normal lapses in recall or deja vu, I mean there is an event that you and only you have any recollection of. And I don’t mean little things either. I’ll remember going shopping with my mom and buying food that I then cannot find, and when I ask for it, I’m told that the trip never happened, or I’ll remember details from a TV show or movie that doesn’t exist. Is this a symptom of schizophrenia, or something else?

I have memories of hallucinations but they really happened. Just only for me.

Yes. Going back to my public school as a pupil long after I’d actually left ,due to illness, is one .

Yes, I have a lot of false memories. It’s usually really intense stuff, conjured up by my screwy psychotic mind.
Yes, and it’s painful knowing you can’t trust your own memories

I have the opposite problem where everyone else will remember an event except me.
Yes. They’re so vivid.
I probably do but I don’t want to mention what they are. Even when you are told a memory is false you “saw it with your own eyes” or “heard it with your own ears” and the best you can do is try to sort out your memories and base them on what reality was before you got sick and try to figure out what was real or what was false or take someone’s denial that it happened on face value because you know your senses are unreliable.
