A few years ago I started to see things that were not there, at first it could be anything from flying fruit to people. At first this scared the sh*t out of me but over time It calmed it self down. Now I see one person who I know is not there, however I am able to have indepth converstaions with her, and with her help have been able to question things that I would not have even thought about before.
The problem is this my family and friends see this as somthing harmful and are intent on making me take drugs to stop her from appearing. However I dont think she is, I think she is just my minds way of helping me cope. So my question is this should I take the drugs or flush them? (my mind is made up but I would still like your opinions.)
also has anyone ever heard of anything like this before?

i think that if u dont see this as a problem or anything harmful, then dont take the drug, but if it starts to kind of bother u or anything, then maybe u should consider taking them. i *think*
The thing is I see a programme on discovery about Schizophrenia (hope its spelled right) and it said that can b 1 of the symptons. I'm not trying 2 scare u or annoy u but I think u should speak 2 your doc.
I have spoke to doctors and psychiatrists, yet there are no other symptoms. Im not worried about it, I see it as an advantage, someone to bounce ideas off, a bit like an imaginary friend just erm, this is hard to explain. to me she is there i can see and hear her, but I could be looking for answers in one direction and she will show me another way. eg. Ghosts could be formed the same way that a mirage is formed. imagine the day is bleak and the ground is wet. the light from a distance star is reflected from this dark shiney surface back to the star and from the star back to earth, this will produce the origanal image maybe not in the same place but it will be there.
I dont know if I making sence.

For example I could just be walking down the road and see two children running and actually have a vision of one of them being hit by a car, or anything bad and its not even like Im imagining it coz as far as Im concerned its happening for the split second that I have it and then I realise it was another one of my dodgy delusions and forget about it.
I spoke to my friend about it once I finally opened my eyes to it and saw it wernt exactly normal. Since then Ive really realised just how bad it is.
Ive never felt safe in my house and constantly have to keep my back near a wall or something coz I see someone running towrds me and Liam and stabbing us both etc...Ill stop there I think lmfao!
The other week my mum spoke to me about my dad and him being depressed etc etc. His sister had schitzophrenia and it does run in families, my dad shows signs of it too apparently and my docter thinks thats possibly the reason for what I have had since a child...bit daunting but nothing that bothers me too much and I just get on with it.
Its also possible just something linked to things I went through as a child and feeling vulnerable and unsafe etc...heads r funny things!
Anyway, only u can really answer wether or not u think u should take drugs for what u have going on...its hard to know just how bad or not bad it affects u day to day and personally Id say if u can cope fine without the drugs then u should. I dont agree with a lot of medicines prescribed for mental problems to be honest, despite the fact Im a frequent user of illegal ones lol!
i know someone who has mild schizophrenia, although the hallucinations isnt the only thing that happens. maybe your doctor thinks this is what you have? maybe try doing a web search about schizophrenia and see if anything else they mention sounds familiar? also talk to your parents or your doctor and try and find out more information about what they think is wrong with you.
Out of my mind. Back in five minutes.

I think everybody has a paraniod streak in them, but when you say you imaganed someone, was it just the fear or had you gone all the way to know what they might look like?

I don't know if that helps, but...well, that's it.
also i used to have this thing about being petrified of ghosts, i wouldnt even stay in the house alone at 1 point.
also i get these mad thoughts about wanting to hurt myself and when i think them i really scare myself and start to cry. and what im about to say has happened twice now,both times i have been having a massive row with mum and dad. i banged my head repeatedly off the wall, and my temper is awful, i just lose it so easily and the way i tend to get my anger out is by throwing things or breaking them. im scared people wil give up on me cos of the way i act. i do try to keep my temper but people never seem to understand how i feel inside now matter if i tell them or not.
just kinda wanted to get that out,
no man is worth your tears, and the one who is wont make you cry....
