I keep hallucinating
This is really embarrassing so I’m anonymous. I’m in therapy and I’ve told my therapist that sometimes I hear things, because at first that’s what it was. I have started fully hallucinating visually now. I will hear and see things I know are not real. And when I had auditory hallucinations I could shake it off and focus and make it stop. But I can’t stop the visual hallucinations no matter how hard I try. They happen a lot, everyday.
And I’m really fucking scared that if I tell my therapist I’m going to end up with the fancy grippy socks. I am not saying this as a joke. That terrifies me really bad. I’m not working right now or driving unless absolutely necessary, and I can tell my hallucinations apart from reality so I’m not having a trouble keeping a grip on reality but I don’t know what to do. I am also not experiencing fear or anxiety when i hallucinate, and it doesn’t take me but a few seconds to realize I’m hallucinating. There’s a history of onset schizophrenia in my family, like it lays dormant until you’re in your mid 20s and you hit 25-27 bam you have schizophrenia. It’s on both sides of my family.
I am so embarrassed about this. Please be gentle.
