I wasn't sure where to post this, sorry if this isn't a good place. Feel free to redirect me.

My Dx is Depression and Anxiety not Psychosis or Schizophrenia. That being said, I have had intermittent experiences of smelling phantom scents, namely cigarette smoke. This has been happening off and on for a few months, and it seems to happen for a few days to a week at a time when I'm stressed more than usual.

Looking it up on line is almost funny. Why does everything have to be a brain tumor? Should I be concerned?

I read somewhere that scent is strongly connected to memory, and I am afraid that I may be closer to remembering something I don't want to.

Thoughts on olfactory hallucinations welcome!
