The night I was constantly hearing crickets in my room.
Now I think that the sound might be from a lizard the probably is somewhere around here
I'm hearing birds even though there are none outside
I just heard a man running around the apartment coughing, when I went out my room he was gone.
I'm shaking and I'm scared to go outside because what if I do not see a car coming and I get hit.
I did not sign for this. Why did the ******* doctor save me back when I was 1 i have nto done anything bad to anyone why am I being punished

Ughhh hallucinations totally suck ...

Damn I hope this doesn't go on for too much longer.

Go see your pdoc ASAP or admit yourself to the hospital. Since it's the weekend, I'd opt for the hospital since your pdoc is probably not available. You are hallucinating and need treatment ASAP. I suspect if you let it go without urgent treatment, your behavior could get out of hand and worse things could happen. That's what I would do, at least. I don't know if anyone else has more experience with hallucinations and knows exactly what to do other than go to the hospital. ((HUGS))

It's unlikely you won't see a car coming: you have hallucinations, things added to, not removed from, your perception.

Hallucinations are nothing to be afraid of. You might be scared that you're losing your mind, but many people experience hallucinations. Being scared probably causes you the most problems. Just experience and don't think.

Only if the hallucinations themselves obscure your perception of important things or the noise of it all makes you suicidal, you should really go to a hospital. But if you think it's getting worse it might also be a good idea. Maybe just sit in the entrance hall or something, just so you feel safer.

I feel your constant terror, its with me everywhere i go im jumpy and scared and why did i survive my premature birth to be tortured by my mentality, you are not alone im so sorry, just plug your ears if you need to or listen to ear buds really loud?

[Icare dixit]

And birds are fine, right? Nothing to worry about.

A lizard is nothing to be worried about either.

The man coughing reminds me of a telephone ringing. I go to the telephone and... nothing.

The shaking is more likely due to a delusion of being threatened. It appears to me like you feel threatened. The hallucinations and your thoughts are all a result of that.

Just be brave and try to go outside, see how nothing bad happens.

If you have any antipsychotics take them.

Update:
I did go outside and got on a bus from which I can switch to another one who goes to the psych ward. I had time outside and alone in which I drew a lot and listened to music. While I am still jumpy like a rabbit, and I do see somethings (the usual for me: black cat, an old woman and the shadow man) and I am delusional but I send all of my energy to cleaning my room. I called a friend to come over to stay in for the night and I have another one on skype, just in case I go back to a state of panic or if I do/ say something that is harmful towards myself or somebody else.
Bad thing is that the psych ward was locked? So I couldn't stay even though I was feeling quite suicidal. Still cannot believe that such a place in which people go to be safe is closed at 11 am, but the good thing is that a friend found me and led me away to safety. To be honest thank Gods I have loyal friends.
PS. I am waiting for my antipsychotics to kick in. That's my 6th night that I am taking them and for now nothing except side affects and horrible anxiety and panic attacks because I am off Atarax.

Hi, scar,

Do you have, or could you find, a phone number for the psych ward/crisis center? My experience has been that they always lock down at a specific time in the evening but that the hotline number is always open. And, if you can't get to them, they'll come for you (usually in an old crappy ambulance).

I know that Atarax can be used to treat anxiety and I've always had a dose before surgery (not sure why) but do you have it prescribed for a specific condition?

What antipsychotic are you on? I know that when I first started taking Seroquel that I went bonkers with anxiety and that it still will ping me up and down sometimes.

It's 9:00 p.m. in my locale. Sure hope you've found a place to kip for the night.

There are numbers for the psych ward but I cannot talk on the phone. I hate calling people. My friend slept over and the whole night I would ask her "You heard that?" or "Is this real?" a little bit of "Was that a dream?"
My first psychiatrist prescribed me it because I was having very bad anxiety and panic attacks. Now that I am off of it I'm back of having the attacks, which.. well sucks
I'm on Explemed which I think someone on here told me that it is called Abilify in other countries and it probably is the same because my 2nd psychiatrist and the one I usually go to said that they would prescribe me Abilify but the actual psychiatrsit that prescribed me the things I need it was Explemed and Akinestat.
