What are hallucinations like? I actually see something. I see it wrote A so clearly. I'm certain it's A. The next second it becomes a B after I move my eye away and go back. I was so sure my teacher made an announcement to everyone that the seminar had been rescheduled. I talked to someone like "let's have a drink before the seminar today!" They looked at me confused. "There is no seminar today." The date hasn't been changed. Yet I was so sure the teacher said it, Hallu123 part 1/2
even they (including the teacher) denied it. Is this what they call hallucination? I have more things like this. If this helps I have bipolar and/or BPD, anxiety and OCD, diagonised (doctor won't tell me, just said it was bipolar and something similar.) I also have synthesthesia. I can sense colors on chemicals. I don't see it, but I feel so strongly hydrogen must be purple (it's colourless actually), nitrogen must be orange (also colourless)- I'm so confused. Please tag as Hallu123 (2/2)
Hello there! There's no one specific way to describe hallucinations since there are a few different types. Hallucinations are sensations that appear real but are created by your mind. They can affect each of your five senses. They can be caused by mental illness, side effects of medication, or physical illness. There are visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile, and temporary hallucinations, Visual hallucinations involve seeing things that aren't there. For example, you might see a person who is not in the room or flashing lights that no one else can see. Olfactory hallucinations involve your sense of smell. You might smell an unpleasant odor when waking up in the middle of the night or feel that your body smells bad when it doesn't. Auditory hallucinations are among the most common. You might hear someone speaking to you or telling you to do certain things. The voice may be angry, neutral, or warm. They can also include sounds, like someone walking in your house when you're home alone. Tactile hallucinations involve the feeling of touch or movement in your body. This includes feeling bugs crawl on your body, or feeling like there's a hand touching you. Temporary hallucinations are not chronic. They may occur, for example, if a relationship has just ended or if someone dear to you has just passed away. You might hear the person’s voice for a moment or briefly see his or her image. Temporary hallucinations usually go away as your pain diminishes. If you keep experiencing these hallucinations you might want to consider telling your doctor. Hope I helped lovely!-Johnna
