one thing i am wondering - and maybe someone can clarify - is that even with the 'real' hallucinations (ie the ones outside of my head) - i always knows that other ppl can't see them/hear them.

are people who have schizophrenia aware of this also? that their hallucinations aren't real? or is it more difficult for them to tell?

sorry about the ignorant question, i'm just trying to get my head around things. i really am worried that one day i might not be able to tell the difference between what's "real" and what's not.
