I think I might start to be hallucinating, but i don't want to mention it to my psychiatrist or psychologist because i don't really know if it's serious or maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me or something. Well, i've been diagnosed with depression & anxiety & an ed, but right now I'm doing quite good with my eating disorder so it's definitely not lack of nutrition.

Well, some of the stuff I've been seeing is like .. I don't know how this is going to sound but I've seen eyes in my mirror when I'm getting ready in the morning, like a few sets. Also, when I was in class one day i seen a tunnel behind the chalkboard, like i could see right through the wall and there was something at the end of the tunnel. I've been seeing like swarms of flies around me too , ..also just today when I was getting ready, i felt really awkward and I looked into the mirror as I was doing my hair and seen something rise from my right eye like something was trying to break out of my body, like someone is trapped inside my body. I'm starting to believe there's someone else inside of me.. plus, i've been having conversations with people that never even happened. It's like I'm not really here, but i am.

I don't know i'm sorry this is so long. but thank you so much if you read this because I really need an opinion. is this an actual hallucination or probably just something minor i shouldn't worry about?

Hey Shiver,
It's strange for me reading your post. I have had some strange things happen to me when I've been down. I'm debating at the moment about whether to talk to my doctor about it. Like you I just wonder whether it's one of those things.
Reading what you say though, I think you probably should talk to your doctor. I suppose the test is how much distress it's causing you. I suppose the worry is that maybe it will happen more often.
Anyway I'm thinking I should talk to the doctor about mine.
Lots of love,

i think u should talk to ur doctor,
i mean ive hallucanated before and been pretty psycotic so i no how it feels, but i cant tell u wether its happening to u or not that is up to u and ur doc, i will say though, that u feeling not real could possably be disasosiation. its very scary when it happens to u, and sometimes u get total blackouts with it bt yet again u need to talk to ur doc about it,

Thanks Elise & Steph, i probably will end up telling them.. because i've been going into a big relapse lately, and maybe this is part of it. but I still don't know, but i guess it wouldn't hurt to bring it up.. and if he thinks its stupid , well then i'll just feel like an idiot. but at least i'll have mentioned it.

I hope you guys are doing okay as well.

Hi Shiver

It is a good idea to speak to your doc and he should not find it stupid at all. There could be many reasons for it, but the doc should be able to help you.

I'm fairly certain my hallucinations are just an active imagination. Yours sound clinically worthy though. I'll look into dark places and see the girl from the exorcist still but it's not really all that scary anymore. After watching horror movies that stuck in my mind they just are always visible. After watching the ring simon kept crawling out of the tv that was across from my bed. Schizophrenia does run in my family though so it's a bit concerning at times.

Definitely talk to your t or pdoc about what you're experiencing-especially if this has been going on for quite awhile. Print and take your post with you as you've described it very well. Your docs will take you seriously. That's what they are there for to treat you as best as they can. Your treatment is based on what you say to them; be open and honest.

Let us know how you do with talking to your docs, ok?

Take care of yourself.

Thanks a lot everyone, I'll let you know once I speak to my Doctor. :)
I appreciate your support.

Never hesitate to tell your psychiatrist or therapist something that is causing you worry or distress. I hid my hallucinations for about a year before i finally couldn't control them anymore and had to be hospitalized. But if you and your doctor decide that what you are experiencing are indeed clinical hallucinations and an anti-psychotic medication is prescribed, as long as there is no immediate threat, hospitalization will not be required. A useful tool is to keep a journal of who, what, where, when, and possibly why. But i will top rambling now, its a problem of mine.
