Mental Disorders

Hello. I have opened up tis forum because I have been suffering from Hallucinations and wanted to know if anyone else had and what had they seen. I am self-loathing. I have no hope of happyness and cannot be cured. My condition got worse last week when I Hallucinated while walking up the stairs.

I am 100% certain of what I saw. A yellow ball rolling from one room to another as I walked up the stairs. This is random and has no meaning. But it wasn't real and I saw it so it has to have some meaning. In case you are wondering, yes it was a yellow gym training ball. I don't own one. I have never been so sure of anything as I am of this. Have you ( honestly ) seen anything?

You are run down or have some kind of illness or have ingested something untoward.

The autonomic body through the mind "tells" us that such phenomena are recognisable but like you said, it is random and meaningless.

Such things will be very distressing naturally.

If it is the onset of a phase of migraines, epilepsy or one of its many variants, or some kind of visual condition (or almost any condition), it could have been preceeded by a period of depression hence your mood.

Be wide ranging in your explorations, I hope you are led to good remediation before long - or at the least, effective management.

I'm no expert just an enthusiastic amateur.

I don't know if my experience will help you or anyone else, but I suffer from both audio and visual hallucinations, voices, occasional paranoia and have been diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder. For many years I was in denial about the voices, which are persistent and often bizarre. All I can say, is it's a long road to recovery. But you have to believe in yourself and your God, Whomever or whatever that may be. I'm not here to preach, but a firm, basic and fundemental faith in the goodness of life has saved me from disaster, and after several suicide attempts over the years, I feel confident now going to the future, whatever that may bring. Whatever you do, if I may offer advice, is don't isolate yourself; do a job if you can, if that's possible at this point in your life. Seek for your own truth, and don't beware other's help and don't hesitate to give your own help to others. Ya gotta learn patience, and have a wide latitude for mistakes. Shrinks can help, and meds, too but you have to find it within yourself.

I started hallucinating at age 20. It was infrequent and has progressed now to almost daily at the age of 33. I hear voices too. My hallucinations are very strange and range from spiders, blobs and such to cats, people and monsters. the voices are the worst. My memory is fading too. I get weird outer and inner body sentations and dream while fully awake too.

The problem is the doctors only half believe me cause I am too paranoid to go to the doctors office when in a psychosis. It also comes and goes hourly and daily which doesn't jive with their books. Like the person above said too, it can be health related aswell. I have many serrious health issues too.

well thats my story sorta. I hope u can find your way around this cause it is confusing and scarey. Makes it hard to pretend to be normal.
