Weird I know, but for the past 5 days all I can smell is stale cigarette smoke. It's so strong but I know it's not on me... I don't smoke and haven't been around smokers lately at all. This happened to me one other time in July 2008 after I was discharged from the hospital after 2 weeks... thought it was because even though the smokers on the unit went outside, the whole unit still smelled like stale smoke. So that made sense to me, though I thought smelling it for several weeks after that was silly. I worry that it's a hallucination or a manifestation of psychosis. I am in touch with reality... I know there's no smoke. But in school I remember studying that olfactory hallucinations most commonly manifest as the false smell of either burning or cigarette smoke. I didn't mention this to my new T today mostly because I can't decide if I like her but I'm not sure what's happening.
Anyone ever have this happen????? I'm starting to freak out just a little. Wont see my new pdoc for another 2 weeks.
