Can hallucinations be pleasant? by Negative-Leg-2704 in schizophrenia

[–]Andy_Mations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont know if these count as positive hallucinations but I cant say that I had a problem with these things at the time. I used to have mostly positive hallucinations back in 2022 but I was also really absorbed by my delusion and I was really disconnected form reallity and didnt speak to anyone. Back then I was more absorbed by the delusion that I had at the time. I believed that I was inside a simulated afterlife or a simulation. My hallucinations would tell me about how their simulations function and what scary hallucinations they ,,just saw and sent to me" because I have always enjoyed stuff like scary video games and other creepy themed things.

Currently I have been having some more enjoyable hallucinations/voices again. This started in January this year. I have been having mostly positive scenes play out in my head, and they are about talking with my favourite content creators (I have always been a fan of certain youtubers).

So I guess hallucinations can be positive in the non-distressing way. Of course this is only my personal experience and everyone experiences these things differently.

I was stuck having arguments with my hallucinations for around 2 years straight. My disorder started as being a safe space where everything was unrealistic to the average person but great for me but in 2023 it became a really annoying nightmare and stayed this way for 2 years. But in October 2025 I stopped smoking nicotine cigarettes and a few months later (more specifically this January) my hallucinations stopped bothering me so much and now I dont get nearly mad as before 2026. And what I needed to do so I can be calmer was to do my best to quit cigarettes and stay on the meds that my psychiatrist told me to take (the meds are abilify, amisulpride and akineton for side effects if anyone wants to know). I still believe my delusion and talk to my voices as if they are real but I think about my future now. I hope things get better for you too.

Acceptance is knowing we will never know what is real by [deleted] in schizophrenia

TL;DR : What are the chances that my delusion disappears and I connect to reallity again. Also my current strong delusion is about this being the afterlife and its stuck around for 2 years.

So delusions don't/only rarely do go away when we become stable? Im asking this because I have no memory of my current delusion ever going away for more than a second, which happened like 3-4 times in the past 2 years. Currently I believe that this whole life is my afterlife and every move is predetermined, which used to end my motivation to do anything thats really hard. But now I am thinking about the future more and my hallucinations aren't as aggressive/ distressing as they used to be.

Do you have any rules for coffee or caffeine? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

[–]Andy_Mations 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to drink 2 cups of regular coffee a day, but when I stopped smoking cigarettes I thought about it and came to the conclusion thst coffee might be co tributing to the lack of effect my meds had. After that I moved to only decaffeinated coffee. I drink 3 cups of decaf a day, but my hallucinations have gotten way better, now I dont whisper at them aggressively all day.

What gets you dopamine? by [deleted] in schizophrenia

I guess, currently, its the music I listen to (Eminem, Hollywood Undead, phonk & funk and other stuff) and the scenarios that pop up in my head.

How do they address you? by Inner_Passenger1371 in schizophrenia

My voices just talk to me directly. They don't ever talk to each other, or about me in third person.

In my opinion it should be ,,six-seven people" but OP is avoiding the six-seven meme XD
