    Sorry to hear you're struggling with this, it must suck so bad. I really don't have much advice because I've not really experienced hallucinations before except for when I have nightmares and I wake up and I still see/hear the things from my nightmare as if they're in my room. I also had a random phase like two years ago when I started believing things I knew weren't true and seeing signs and (sort of?) hallucinating but idk if that's the same sort of thing. But I used to just say to myself 'look there's my bed' and tough my bed and tell myself 'see it's there, it's real' but then remind myself that the hallucinations were not real even if they were scary and felt real, they were just in my head. Idk if that's very useful lol but it helped me. I know this must suck a lot but I'm sending hugs!! <3

    Hi @IainJammyboy , it’s brave to share your worries. I’m sorry to hear that you have been through such difficult time. The situation sounds serious and overwhelming, and my recommendation is to seek help from psychology professional sooner. Hallucinations might affect your daily life and be a sign of a mental health condition. You don’t have to face it alone. There are many effective treatments available, like therapy and medication, that can help you improve the quality of life.

    It is understandable that you feel tired of fighting, but you need to remember it always takes time and effort, and I believe you will get better eventually. Take care of yourself and reach out for professional help! You deserve to feel safe and supported!

    @IainJammyboy When did they start if u don't mind me asking? I hope they're gone and you're feeling better this morning :)
    I can't talk to anyone because my SIM card won't text short codes
    That's so annoying, that sucks. Sometimes when I have no one to talk to or text I ramble and write as if I'm gonna send it to someone and it helps so u could try that?
