Hallucinating is normal, many people experience it. You have most likely at least passed someone in the street who was hallucinating once. Or you've worked alongside a coworker who was actively hallucinating and you didn't even notice. Or your loved one hallucinated while you were in the room, but they were afraid to tell you.

Hallucinating is common, it's just not commonly talked about in everyday situations. If you don't experience it, or don't know someone who does and tells you about it, you've probably only heard it in the news or on TV. And they only really represent the worst possible outcome for shock value. But that isn't representative of how most of us who hallucinate experience it.

Most of us are just like everybody else, living our lives, just with the addition of hallucinations. We may need to take pills every day, or need therapy, or need to stay in mental hospitals sometimes, or need to be checked on by loved ones, but so do a lot of other people who don't hallucinate.

Hallucinations are just a symptom. Just like anxiety, or trouble concentrating, or tiredness. A lot of people experience it and have to learn to cope overtime. The only difference is we don't generally talk about it to people in casual settings. And it's because of the stigma. If you don't hallucinate, or know someone who does, you probably don't see hallucinations as a normal part of life, a symptom, just a thing plenty of people experience. But it is, it's not special, it isn't more dangerous, it doesn't have to be a huge deal.

Obviously hallucinations can be life changing and horrific, but so can other mental health symptoms. Hallucinations can also be neutral, or just annoying or even a positive experience. It's just a symptom, it doesn't automatically mean someone is in the worst mental state possible if they are hallucinating. It doesn't automatically mean someone is dangerous or unpredictable. It just means a person is experiencing senses that the people around them are not.

You have to learn to accept that it's just a symptom, and that people around you experience it, and they deserve to complain or talk about it just like anyone else gets to with other things in their lives. All you have to do is listen, and try to be understanding. Hallucinating is normal, you just need to stop treating it like it's abnormal.

Hey there, just needed to say something quick. ALL of this misrepresentation about schizophrenia everywhere is ableism. People that say “schizophrenia is spiritual”, “schizophrenia is satanic”, “schizophrenia is demonic”, “schizophrenia means that you have demonic entities attached to you”, “schizophrenia means that you are in spiritual warfare with demons”, “schizophrenia just means that you are going through a spiritual awakening” is just so frustrating for people who ACTUALLY have this mental Illness or suffer from psychosis. It all comes from people who don’t even HAVE this illness or experience these things. It is dangerous to tell people who have or don’t have schizophrenia/ schizoaffective disorder, people who are on the schizo spectrum or people who experience psychosis that what they are experiencing is real and is caused from external forces or that they are just in a “spiritual awakening”. Stop spreading your misinformation on this mental illness and do some research, your ableism is showing. This goes to all of you new age spiritualists that say “people with schizophrenia just experience the world differently than us” No, we are suffering from psychosis/hallucinations or delusions. It is a mental illness, not what your idea of what schizophrenia may seem like to you. I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, I’m not haunted or “woke” I’m mentally disabled, It is a mental illness PERIOD.

when people talk about auditory hallucinations, they always mention like creepy or weird discordant sound or voices. but no one talks about how annoying they can be. my brain will pick up on random words, repetitive sounds, or very short parts of songs and like go ham with playing them over and over. i’m currently having on that’s a repeat of the “battery on” phrase that plays when i put my earbuds in. like ugggggh can it please stop. does anyone else experience this

[whumpster-dumpster]

This just in, baby's first sleep-deprivation-induced auditory hallucinations (it's me, I'm baby) and it was surprisingly chill. A ticking clock in a room where I don't have a clock, dripping sounds and muffled singing as if it was through the wall

Hiii I was wondering if town kook ford is aware that he is no longer...mentally stable (idk how to phrase it💀) since u said he retaught himself to speak to the best of his ability again so he was aware he struggled with talking but does he know why? Does he know that project mayhem failed and if so has he attempted to try and fix himself in the past and just gave up? Since he was able to recognise his speech was not coherent enough, does he sometimes form a logical thought when talking on his telephone that it is impossible for him to be hearing someone and he stops and thinks....hold up- something not right here💀💀

Hello, hello! Yes, Ford is fully aware that his mental state is less than stable, but whether or not he knows why really depends.

To a subconscious level, he very much knows that something must have gone wrong in the past for him to behave, think, and speak differently than the other people in town. He knows that the way he is now isn't his "normal" state, so to speak. But he just can't seem to piece together the full story of what happened to him. Most of the time, he would only remember chunks of it, but not have the rest. Sometimes, he would be able to remember everything; Bill; the portal; project Mentem; Fiddleford... But even those moments of lucidity would be momentary, and his thoughts would be slipping through his fingers like sand again.

The thing with Ford is that even though he understands something is definitely a problem, it doesn't mean he knows how to remedy it. He recognizes logic; he knows things that only a person with 12 PHDs like himself would rightfully know; he's aware that he isn't exactly sane; but his thoughts just don't always connect (if that makes any sense). This makes the way he thinks seem a little nonsensical to us, but make perfect sense to him. He's used to the way his mind works by now, even shattered and disjointed; he's the one who's had to live with it for the past 30 or so years!

Which is why from his perspective, phones keep ringing even after they're disconnected. So to him, it doesn't make a difference whether or not he cuts their power, because he can still hear the voices on the other side. It makes sense.

And then along comes this noise. All day long, this relentless noise.

OH YEAH AND HOW DOES THAT FEEL, DOCTOR????

r/systemscringe still doesn't know voice hearing is a symptom of DID!

This is from the DSM-5:

Papers report voice hearing being more common in dissociative disorders than psychotic disorders.

In a comparison, DID systems were far more likely to start hearing voices before the age of 18, and to hear more than one voice.

Another r/systemscringe user claims that this isn't like there's a commentator in your head. This is also false in many cases according to research.

In the same study I referenced earlier, it was reported that the voices in DID would often make a running commentary in 55% of cases.

That's not every case, but is a slight majority and was more common than in the Schizophrenia groups.

There are lots of reasons to not put stock in the words of fakeclaimers, but the biggest one might simply be that however confident they seem in their misinformation, these people do not have even the slightest understanding of anything they're talking about.

Hey there 😊 just wanted to say a thing quick.. 💖

If someone has schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder or on the schizo spectrum, please do not say that they are gifted, that they’re clairaudient, telepathic or anything of that sort. I know you’re just trying to make sense of it all but please 💖✨don’t✨💖

It feeds into their hallucinations/delusions that they are experiencing and that is DANGEROUS to someone who is hallucinating *them already thinking that the voices are REAL, that they actually can read minds or that they are thought broadcasting and everyone can read their minds all while actually believing it to be real* and can lead to them thinking they have a gift and can lead to them putting themselves in danger by thinking that what they are being told while hallucinating is REAL because they “have a gift” or are “gifted”. I’ve been told this before early on when I was first diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder about 5 years ago I had to find out on my own with my diagnosis that not knowing what’s real and what is real is just apart of having this mental illness. We are not being haunted by demons or ghost’s, it is a mental illness just like anxiety or depression, and unfortunately we suffer from hallucinations, catatonia, depression, and labile affect(Inappropriate involuntary laughing and crying) amongst a lot more symptom’s, just like you take meds for anxiety and depression we also have to take medications, it is a mental illness and should be treated as such, with knowledge and treatment can help someone get clarity about their recovery and can help reduce their symptoms. Thank you for reading 💖✨😊

I'd love it if more people understood the difference between hallucinations and illusions. So let me try to explain with examples. [TW: examples of auditory hallucinations and illusions described as you experiencing them]

1. Imagine you are home alone with your windows closed and it's silent. And then you hear unfamiliar voices talking about you, it sounds like they are coming from another room. You go to check but no one is there. Your brain created entire voices of people out of thin air. This is a hallucination. There is nothing but your brain creates something.

2. Now imagine you are in the same scenario but your windows are open but the curtains are closed. You hear your neighbors having a conversation, and you hear it as them talking about what you are doing in that moment. They couldn't possibly see what you are doing, so realistically they can't be talking about you, but your brain makes you change the words and hear it that way. This is an illusion. There is something but your brain changes the real thing into something unreal.

It's not always easy to know the difference when you are experiencing it. But if you do know which one it is (nothing there and something unreal appears or something there changes to something unreal) then I think it can be really helpful to label the symptom accurately.

For me it was helpful to gage the effectiveness of my medication. I noticed that I have more illusions than hallucinations, and for me that was a sign of improvement. It can also go the other way, to see if your psychosis is getting more severe.
