Faces and things keep going by in front of me the last several days. Are these hallucinations? These arent like my usual hallucinations. They flash clear as day in front ofmy eyes. Im already on an increased zyprexa dose.

Could be, or could be a flashback like you would get with PTSD. Have you been through some trauma Moose? Let your mental health team know, ok.

[Moose72]

Im not sure about ptsd. Unless you count my life in general.

[Moose72]

Pdoc said call back if it happens again but there was concern in her voice.

[Moose72]

Yup called- it happened again.

[Moose72]

Still happening.

[ChaoticSymphony]

I'm thinking it's hallucinations. Glad you called the doc. Best to nip that in the bud as soon as possible. Best of luck

I know it's scary... but do you really need to be driving now....

What are your usual hallucinations like?

[Moose72]

My usual hallucinations are audio. Voices or music.

[Moose72]

Im late for my zyprexa. Oh well. Ill live

[RisuNeko]

I usually get voices or music too (even when not in a severe episode), but every now and then during severe episodes I get visual too, like an alternate shadow version of my cat that darted around my vision when I was alone for two weeks and almost lost it. This was during a really deep depression. I've also seen bugs like giant spiders, rats, shadow people. And during my highest mania I saw beautiful rainbowy lights emanating from lightbulbs and surrounding people and flowing around like auras.

Are you still seeing these things? Are you in an episode right now?

The visions seem to have passed but your descriptions are very familiar. Im not in an episode right now no.

[Moose72]

Happened again yesterday couple times.

[Moose72]

Feeling self destructive last night. Talked to someone on the phone. Maybe helped a bit. I can always call back. I have to pick up my kids from school this afternoon.

I was watching my wall move around like an amoeba when I woke up this morning. I was watching a humpback monster that was moving staring at me, but I knew it was the knots and wood grains in the paneling. I've seen some really crazy hallucinations when I did some A, so this doesn't bother me. I actually think it's pretty cool.

Taking my boys out to eat. Splurging.

Do you remember the last time you ditched your meds? You went IP and then on to residential if I remember you saying.. Do you really wanna repeat that scenerio again?

When your having active Hallucinations is really a rather bad time to think about stopping your psych meds.

[Moose72]

I really dont remember that. My dr stopped my medds and i went inpatient to straighten them out.

[Moose72]

Missed my 2.5 dose earlier. Wont matter.

[Moose72]

Horrible therapy appointment today. She dug into ever sore spot then left me feeling self harming still.

[Moose72]

Latly ive been wanting to feel alive by touch ing everything
