cuz they don’t understand me

I am not going to try to limit who interacts with my posts because I think that is futile but know that I am an ADULT and some content on my blog may be aimed at ADULTS. If it is particularly this way, I will add a tag of course (maybe even a cut), but keep in mind that this is a blog meant for adults.

This is a good question but it’s hard to answer because everyone with schizophrenia is so different! For instance, unreality doesn’t bother me at all but I understand it bothers others. My biggest trigger that I sometimes come across on social media is whispering, but I know that’s very specific to me. I think it will be very hard to serve all, or even the majority, of schizophrenic people with tagging. Valiant effort though!

It depends. I’ll often see actual people, animals, or monsters or solid objects and I can’t see what’s behind them at all and they look so real. Sometimes if it’s a smaller or simpler hallucination, especially an inanimate object, I can see through it like it’s opacity is turned down a little if that makes sense. However if I know something is a hallucination and I really concentrate usually I can see through it, like if I hallucinate something on my paper while taking a test or something like that.

Interesting question and not something I’d thought of before! They do feel similar to me I think because I often lucid dream. When dreaming, I’m aware the things happening in front of me are fake the same way I am with hallucinations. But yes I often don’t question something and just accept it as fact and then later realize it was totally a hallucination, like with dreams. Sometimes when something is happening right in front of you it’s just so hard to believe it’s fake because it feels so real. Makes you question your whole reality all the time

Most of my hallucinations are not very funny, if I’m being honest. Most of them are just sad and frightening. I understand other people have had funny hallucinations though, so I’ve heard. The funniest hallucinations I have are mostly catch phrases from television shows. Anything that is repeated over and over will likely become a hallucination for me. I once spent an entire month hallucinating the low health sound from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and it was the worst time of my life lmao
