Anyone suffering from delusions? I'm feeling down and scared because I got back there after months.
What do you see/hear/perceive?
Sorry, just needed support

I get them during my worst depressive episodes. I usually see shadows that almost look like people zooming by, or hear what sounds like conversations or music in the distance. I generally know they're not real, but they still frighten me and leave me feeling scared.

I'm not sure if these are the same kind you deal with, but I wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

Very similar to what I see. Shadows, like human silhouettes, but also real people with strange traits (like no hair, very big eyes, red skin). I sometimes see so many of these "shadows" and hear so many confused voices I think I must be in hell. I hear conversations in the distance but sometimes even people screaming or clearly talking to me. I also feel like someone's touching me like one would do to make you come round after you fainted I don't know if I make sense.
Thank you very much

I haven't had them myself, you guys might be interested or reassured by a couple of talks I've seen. One By Robin Murray:

Robin Murray - 100 Years of Schizophrenia: Is This Enough? | Mad In America

He says, among other things, that 9% of the UK population reported psychotic experiences or beliefs and most of these were not troublesome. This happens to lots of people.

This talk by Whitaker is also interesting

Thank you very much Delusions?️ I'm not feeling worried, as I always speak about this to my pdoc and we discuss it and I take meds and change my therapy everytime it gets worse. To me, the experience itself at the very moment is very scary.
