I just had a really bizarre experience today... I have "minor" auditory hallucinations, even when on medication and reasonably stable. Well, sometimes those hallucinations are based on fleeting sounds like next doors phone ringing, or a lorry going over the bridge further in the village. (Lots of rumbling.) So today I was reading, and I put in ear plugs. Bloody wonderful devices... they cut out the ambient chatter no end.

One problem. I started having tactile hallucinations. For example, feeling my phone vibrate (there was no record of an incoming call.) Insects running across my arm. Then a deep rumbling pressure on the skull behind my ears...

I am mightily miffed. I thought wearing ear plugs might do SOME good. (bangs head on wall.)

So... OP, I'm afraid my advice is just be aware of what makes sense, and ignore the blarney, whether auditory or otherwise... since it seems we have to put up with some level of crap. Just, when it comes up, challenge it... stick your tongue out at it, and waggle your ears. If it was a real spider, so what? You're a hell of a lot bigger. If it was an imaginary spider, so what? We all have imaginations.

We've got to get used to being annoyed by these things and then dumping them as the irritating waste of time that they are.

I don't know if this is any use to you... just right today it's the only advice I can give myself.

In other words... f.ck it. You're better that all this crap anyway.
