Sorry, I just don't get the point of even polling this. How is this supportive?

I don't think it's about legitimacy so much as curiosity....I know when I got sick I desperately wanted to connect with other people who had similar hallucinations so I read books....people's experiences were pretty divergent and it was hard to find commonality with them...I find a lot more connection on the forum, even though individual hallucinations are different you start to see patterns that are similar like this forging a community. It's more like oh me too than you are different than me...
