I suppose my continual questions to people on this forum might get annoying ("have you ever heard of this type of symptoms?", ...). The therapist I currently see, has asked me why I keep researching things on the internet and looking for natural remedies instead of listening to her and going for prescription drugs. (BTW, this therapist thinks that I do NOT currently have a problem with psychosis or delusional disorder. Originally she wanted me to take anti-psychotics, but now she agrees that I don't need them. She wants me to take antidepressants though. We are doing CBT, and that is helpful.)

Sorry, I got off on a tangent. The reason I keep asking people if they have experienced symptoms similar to mine, is because my illness seems a lot different. Sometimes I wonder if some of my hallucinations were real instead of psychological. I've seen seemingly paranormal things like people that nobody else can see. Most hallucinations that others describe are primitive like a voice saying something mean. My hallucinations (if they were hallucinations) were like sitting and interacting for an hour in church with people that may not have been visible to anybody else. Also my hallucinations were spaced months and years apart, and the hallucinations often seemed totally real except for being very strange. So I keep wondering if maybe they were NOT hallucinations. That is why I keep bothering people with these questions.
its no bother at all. the reason I place contact ones own treatment provider isnt because a person is a bother, its because sometimes people (including me here) forget to do this when something major happens. plus the disclaimer at the bottom of every page . but its not a bother for me when someone asks the questions about their mental disorder.
Thanks for this!
