I have had other hallucinations in the past like this that have gone away permanently on their own, and I'm afraid that if I don't go off my meds soon enough the same thing will happen to these two. Can anyone relate?

The other thing I miss is my hypomania (I'm bipolar type). I think that speaks for itself.

I also had some delusions and voices that I sometimes miss, but to a lesser extent.
I went through this about a year ago, my people were very friendly and had distinct personalities and I honestly felt like I was missing them and its hard because they were idealized unlike real people. Plus their focus was solely me which also never happens in real life. So I get what you're saying. But once you get to a point where you are truly healthy just the thought of going back becomes scary. You will get there.
