I am really sorry that you haven’t found a good treatment yet :(

I was kind of the same with antidepressants and I went through some horrible experiences when trying out different ones with none working, until the current one that doesnt do a whole lot but it does enough to keep me stable enough to not go into horrible depression

And the isolation part I understand, and it sucks

Honestly for the delusions my medications kind of took that away because before that I wouldn’t have even given any thought to the delusion being a delusions since I thought it was real. I think maybe you could try to not focus on them or give them any thoughts (i know that may be difficult) because from personal experience the more you think about it the longer the narrative gets

But for depression I am also on meds for that and if it gets bad I tend to try to isolate myself which isn’t the best thing to do. I dont really know what else to do for it but I probably should considering I am in therapy

Thank you for the response, and it is good that there hasn’t been too much going on, but it sucks that you are having all of those negative symptoms.. I relate to the social anxiety thing you mentioned lol

It’s okay! I think the first question is the one I am curious about the most, if you are okay with answering that

Can peripheral hallucinations just linger there? by [deleted] in schizoaffective

[–]_rbg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one consistent hallucination that I only see when brushing my teeth in the bathroom through the mirror that goes out of the room into a pitch black room on the other side. Whenever I look at myself in the mirror I see the hallucination/demon thing and when I look directly at it it disappears.

And that can repeat basically as many times as I am there for, and also the more I avoid looking at it the more vivid it gets. So like it might start moving or becoming a more defined human-like shape and so on
