I'm always hearing stories of what other people who have this illness hallucinate, like angels or demons, or some other things, and I have to say, I feel left out. I've got the lamest hallucinations on the planet, I just occasionally hear what sounds like a roomful of people talking a room or two away. Exactly like being in a crowded apartment building or auditorium/ concert hall. I can't even pick out words or anything. They're just stupid background noise. I honestly wouldn't mind too much getting better hallucinations, just to experience it once. I kinda wonder if they're like sleep paralysis hallucinations in that if you're scared of them, you'll get nightmare hallucinations. Like, I've heard strange moaning noises, saw my ceiling getting ripped away into tiles off into space, and then recently, weird feminine, unearthly eating noises. I don't know how I knew it was a woman but I could tell. The thing is though, that if you're not scared of them, they'll become happy, or go away. When I heard the eating noises, I just manipulated my emotions, stopped being scared, got excited instead, and they went away. I wonder if you can do the same to real ones. Maybe someone here can answer that? Anyway, if you're comfortable doing it, post what you hallucinate, what you're hallucinating now, what you've hallucinated in the past, if you could control it a bit, if they ever increase in strength, like my voices get really loud sometimes, like they're right outside my door. Anyway, just post  |

Well I guess I do the shadow hallucinations, or at least that is what I am going to keep letting myself believe at night. The whole, someone is standing at the end of my bed and then they run out of the room, or they are staring down at me from that fuzzy floating space they have above my bed. So far, no one has reached out and touched me but geez sometimes they make my heart fall to my feet. I often see my walls melting too, and this was before the medications, can only imagine what happens once I get titrated up to my dosages. “If you don't know where you are going, any road will get you there.”

At the time I did not know it was a hallucination. It was before I was diagnosed with bipolar and I was taking antidepressants and stimulants. I started seeing shadow figures fly across windows out of the corner of my eyes. I've also heard someone say my name very close to my ear and no one was there. Lisa
My advice is purely personal. I am not a Doctor and there is NO substitute for getting proper medical diagnosis and advice.
Bipolar II, Depressed Severe
Lamictal 400 mg

I have sleep paralysis and according to my therapist, hypnagogic hallucinations. In my dream I'm sleeping and something is tugging at my leg trying to pull me off the bed. I'm totally aware I'm dreaming, but I can't talk or move. It probably lasts a minute but it feels like an eternity. I also have another one where I'm falling, again I know I'm dreaming but I can't move. They are also called lucid dreams. Those are the only type of hallucinations I have.

dead bodies, jesus nailed on the cross, strange, black winged creates darting around, a monster in my shower, some voice constantly screaming at me, a roomful of people talking kind of like you described, and last night i saw people come into my house and sit on my couch and i saw james dean's eyes move on the poster i have of him  there was also a little girl talking to me very loudly but i couldn't find her. i think the scariest one of all time was feeling someone's hands going up and down my back when no one was there. it was horrifying.

I occasionally see shifting shadows, music that I think is playing but in reality there is nothing on, or my baby crying when she is sound asleep. It has been a while since I have done this, I still sometimes imagine shadows that aren't there, but I think that may be due to my paranoia of the dark. Accept yourself for who you are, love yourself for who you are, and don't change for someone just because they don't like who you are. If people don't like you for you, then just say "I am who I am, if you don't like it, deal with it!"
