I haven't heard normal voices (hallucinations) for weeks now. Only the whispering voices and indistinct music playing somewhere else in the room. What I experience most are visual distortions. The world around me looks like an impressionist painting with smudged bits and bleeding, altered colours. The walls don't keep a constant distance, but shift and move. I get sensations of vast openness in my room, yet at other times it feels cramped and oppressive. Visual hallucinations just fit right in with it, they don't even seem out of place.

I have very little confidence in my perception of reality - of what other people really mean or think, or what is safe to say. I struggle to communicate clearly too, so I have been keeping quiet on PC and avoiding social groups.

Does anyone else find these experiences have this sort of impact on them?
