In the throes of my last episode, everyone I looked at looked like they were dead; ashen-grey, waxy skin, dull eyes...they looked like walking corpses. It was kind of scary...
Has anyone else experienced this? My pdoc said that in the context of my other symptoms at that time (auditory and visual hallucinations) it was probably part of my psychosis. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this exact same perceptual issue, out of curiosity.

I haven't experienced exactly what you described, but I did have issues with people not appearing as they would ordinarily appear all the way up until I started taking an antipsychotic medication regularly. This issue was at its most extreme for me right when my psychotic symptoms first emerged. Some people I came into contact with appeared to have eyes that were larger and brighter than normal human eyes, and these individuals seemed like they wanted to help me. Some others appeared to have facial features that were duller in color than normal human facial features, sort of like the people that you described, but I wouldn't say that they had an ashen-grey appearance or that their skin seemed waxy. Still, though, I've had the issue of people looking different from how they would ordinarily look (one time, a person's face seemed to become much less colorful after I told him something), and this issue began for me around the same time that most of my psychotic symptoms occurred.

Yes. I have experienced exactly this. General public looking like the living dead.
On another occasion everybody seemed tall and thin. It was truly amazing and I couldn't stop staring at everybody. I knew at the time that this must have been some sort of hallucination, but that did not "break the spell" so to speak. It was as real as real could be - yet quite impossible.

yes. I was hospitalized. I had insomnia too. I thought vampires were biting me at night. everyone looked dead. I thought the hospital was feeding us meat from dead bodies. I also thought two hospital staff were part werewolves.
