Hallucination

Have you ever suffered from visual or sound hallucination ? How did you get out ? From what I know these are enough to fool our logic. Safe to believe that someone poisoned our food and other out of the world schemes. The sad part is the person won't touch the food even if they are dying of hunger.
 
I haven't ever suffered one due to psychosis, however I have when I was on strong medication. I was recovering from an operation and was imagining things such as; conversations that never happened, texts/phonecalls that never happened, seeing people etc. So from the short space of a week I was highly uncomfortable and suspcious of how and what I was seeing. I still can't begin to imagine those that suffer from this a lot. It must be very difficult for them.

It is hard. I have seen it. You won't believe the most trustworthy person in your life. Be it the parents, wife or children. No matter how much others try to convince you, the more person shows symptoms of paranoia.

Some medications are so much of a catalyst to this condition.

Also, a death in the family can trigger a hallucination, mostly strong ones.
 
I don't think I've ever suffered with hallucinations in the past which I consider as being very lucky as I'm confident they're an incredibly scary thing to have to experience.

It must be so hard to go through something like that, especially more than once.
 
I went 3 days without sleep and had visual hallucinations. Yeah, it's real. For sure, you don't want to be driving.
 
I never have had any visual hallucinations but I have experienced sound hallucinations a couple of times. It was really long time ago and now I am confused about whether I actually heard those sounds or were they just the voices in my head. It is also very possible that these sounds were natural sounds (caused by natural phenomena)
