i was just wondering if anyone wanted
to share their hallucinations?

I hear phantom baby cries. Wife & I had our first child last fall and the first month or two really traumatized me - made worse w/ bipolar. So when my little one is asleep, I keep thinking I'm hearing him crying, especially at night.

I've heard of other parents talking about this too so I'm not sure if it's related to being BP or not. It probably doesn't help though.

Ive had hallucinations on ativan...well i was laying in my bed hearing...something like a gecko chirp (not sure if you know what sound Gecko's make) as it turns out after about 20 mins of covering my head with a blanket because i thought gecko's were in my room waiting to jump on my i realized that..actually the sound was coming from me...i was making the sound...not quite sure if that's a hallucination...because technically the sound was real?

At the moment I'm seeing subliminal messages (writing) when I watch telly, and sometimes on the internet. I've seen signs flash a different set of words before it settles down. Today I've seen a little girl in a flowery dress flash in and out. It was as though she was following me around. I'm not having as many aural hallucinations... at one stage I was getting a lot of them. Seems that if I'm visually hallucinating it shuts up the voices, when I'm having voices it shuts down the visuals.

I often get smells as well, sometimes really foul disgusting ones. I used to think if I got an ugly smell it was a warning about a person or situation that they were dangerous. More rarely I get a sudden beautiful smell, but that's not happened now for a while. My favourite is roses.

I hear a voice, its as if my bipolar has a voice, a will, a pers0nality. Tells me 2 self harm or OD, tells me all the negative things i feel 'out loud' weird i kn0w,but thats my curse... I also see tiny 'things' move fr0m the c0rner of my eye...

I get tactile hallucinations, like bugs crawling on me mostly. I also get mild visual and auditory hallucinations. Seeing things out of the corner of my eye, then it gradually worsens to small "rodent-like" flashes of movement closer to my central vision. The auditory ones are often my mother's voice, sometimes my name being called. Other times I've had this odd male voice say something I couldn't make out, but loud and in the room in front of me. They're not usually "in my head", I typically hear them outside my head.

How about you, prophet??

I too hear my name being called; things in the corner of my eye- usually dark shadows- sometimes its a male like figure with a hat; lots of "mumbles". Sometimes long ago I thought they were "in my head" but after a few years of it I have realized its outside my head

I have heard my name being whispered. I've also seen some quick dark objects out of the corner of my eyes. The worst thing i experienced was the feeling that my bed was shaking. They all happen when i am totally stressed/anxious. I also read a sign twice that my wife read totally different. I argued that it said something(that didnt make as much sense) as what she read. Ha. It gave me a wicked panic attack. I never went back to see what it said. It was on vacation.

I see lights flashing. One day, they were taking pictures at my work, and I thought I was losing my mind. I had to leave the floor until they were done because it reminded me of seeing lights flashing when they weren't there.

I have heard music or someone whisper my name.

I have seen shadows moving.

Typically, these all happen when I am very anxious. One time, I felt panicked in the middle of the night. I remember feeling panicked, but I apparently got out of bed and turned on all my lights and my A/C (something I don't remember doing).
