People on this app are not trained professionals. Please do not take their ideas as the same as a trained professional assessment of you. Fear can create all kinds of things in our brain. You can see this with children who are afraid of the dark, they see shapes and monsters but nothing is there. They are just being human, not hallucinating. I think it is the OCD that cycles on this theme of having schizophrenia. OCD about schizophrenia is 100% different than being schizophrenic. Even if you can't sleep, you are laying in bed and resting. And that's all you can do right now 😊❤️
Get on your phone and put on some YouTube or Netflix
And just watch DONT pay attention to the background focus on you phone. This is my coping method
what do u mean background??
@🌱 Like what your mind is telling you
And breath In and hold for seconds then breath out for 4 seconds and repeat
It could just be a visual hallucination, have you been taking any drugs lately? Stress and lack of sleep can cause hallucinations as well as a number of things, I sometimes see shadows or things moving but it's just my eyes playing tricks. However if you think it's schizophrenia, how long has this been going on for? If this seems to interfere with your daily life or it is accompanied by other symptoms, you should definitely get it checked out! I'm no proffessional so I have no idea if this helps or if it is entirely accurate but i hope you're okay!!
ive never had this happen before i dont think im schizophrenic but im terrified of having it ims os scared because what the fuck was that
@🌱 im not on any drugs i dont even smoke cigarettes
@🌱 i cant tell if its my brain playing tricks on me because i started at my ceiling in a dark room and it looked like the dark was moving but im so fucking scared what the fuck was that
@🌱 I have often had hallucinations when dark. Usually terrifying.
@🌱 Hallucinations are not abnormal for even the mentally well
@🌱 yeah if you're not taking any drugs or smoking cigarettes, then I don't really know. It could definitely just be your eyes playing tricks on you and I agree, schizophrenia sounds really scary and no one would ever want to have it or go through! Are you still seeing things or is it gone?
@Dudeguymanbro I hope you're okay!
@hiii I am fine. It happens for me through sleep deprivation and sleep paralysis
@hiii it was when it was pitch black so when i put my flash on my phone up to the ceiling it went away. then i turned my flash off and looked at the ceiling again and nothing was moving
@🌱 I definitely think it was just a hallucination and you're eyes were just playing tricks on you!! But if it continuosly goes on, you should talk to a proffesional about it but try to get plenty of sleep, if it helps drink water, listen to music and focus on your breathing to calm yourself down!! Sorry if this doesn't help
@Dudeguymanbro Ohh yeah sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations and definitely sleep palaysis, it sounds really scary. Ive heard stories and it scares the shit out of me. I hope you won't get them often!
Go through it*
Hey can someone please help me out here . I’m trying very hard not to panic . I’m a little spooked out rn I can feel my anxiety rising as I’m trying to get some rest . Please help me get this off my mind
okay pretty sure i’m developing this now as it’s been a background obsession for a while. my brain keeps thinking of demons and a white witch coming to get me and i was lying alone in the dark and i keep seeing this white shadowy thing or if i see a glare in some glass or something my brain just says “the white witch is coming for you” and then i get paranoid about it because i feel like it’s something that somebody hallucinating/ delusional would think. and i keep thinking about really scary paranormal stuff which is so scary and then i’m wondering why am i so paranoid and scared about this because i don’t think it’s real but then i get scared saying that thinking it will get mad at me if i say it’s not real, and then i think it’s probably schizophrenia for me to believe this but then i get worried that it’s not and apparently if u pay attention to this scary stuff it comes for you and now i’m scared af. i hate that i used the word “it” aswell cos it makes it seem more real. because i don’t want to say it’s not in case there is something, but i don’t want to even believe this because i think it’s abit delusional and it’s like a PARADOX! and then whenever i start thinking about exsistential things it horrible because it always just goes back to me possibly have schizophrenia or developing it due to thinking weird stuff about the universe and my identity. and it’s bad because someone in my family has it and due to the diathesis stress model it’s more likely to occur when u have a genetic risk and prolonged environmental stress which i obviously have had now for the past 2 years due to harm and sexual related themes literally scaring the shit out of me :((( and i’m not at the age where it develops yet which is the early 20s so basically there’s still a chance and i’m scared now and don’t rlly know what to do cos i have a feeling the gene is triggered and now i’m just waiting for the symptoms to go fully blown and they’re already beginning. and i keep having this horrible feeling my hands are on backwards and it’s so scary and i feel like i’m having sensory hallucinations… and i get alice and wonderland syndrome where everything starts to feel rlly rlly fast (but i’ve had this since i was young, it’s just been abit more often recently) and i’m getting it more often and i’m just terrified that i’m starting to get hallucinations. I’m basically just venting so other people can feel less alone with this, not seeking any reassurance
