- In this video, I share my experience with hallucinations as a part of my schizophrenia symptoms.
Hallucinations are sensory experiences that are not real, though they can feel very real to the person experiencing them. They can include any of the senses including, visual, auditory, olfactory (smell), taste, or tactile (touch).

Hi sober monkey & all reading
I can definitely relate to the possession part as I was possessed they even done an excorsism on me many yrs ago. Eventually my family decided to take me to hospital when I attempted suicide & came and told them about the voices telling me I don't have the guts to tell people about what was happening.
I was admitted & immediately sedated.woke up my clothes were changed & no1 around that I knew... Very scary for me...
After treatment on meds that went completely wrong I think I might've had a reaction to it as my mouth went scew...the carted me to a mental institution where I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 & spent 3 months recovering...
I was torn between what the Dr said & what the pastor said because I was convinced that there was nothing wrong with me medically but that I was having a spiritual intervention.
It was tough and still is upto this day experiencing unexplainable happenings & so forths but I am kinda coping & exploring the idea of a very deep connection with these beings.
Sorry for long msg but I just wanted you to know that sometimes things happen to people because something or some higher being is trying to get you to learn the unknown & unseen truth about reality.
Don't get me wrong I'm not saying don't seek help but if you listen to the positive side of the voices the magical part of it all you might find some very interesting & profound things out about yourself & what you are capable of as this higher being living experiencing life in this meat suit.
I not delusional. I'm taking meds but yet...the unknown scary as it sounds is pretty fascinating...
Be brave.take a leap of faith sometime & divulge into what is extraordinary about this seemingly boring thing called Life.
I hope this helped you or someone better understand their reality.
All of the best
💌
I thank you so much. I can't even begin to tell you how I thought I was possessed by a demon. I experience about 90% of what you explain. I have contacted my psychiatrist and he has changed my medication and I will be seeing him next week. I have been lying to all medical professionals, thinking all this would go away after I stopped using drugs and alcohol. Now being sober and still having hallucinations and delusions, watching all your videos. I realize. I have schizophrenia. Now it's time to work with my health providers to get the proper and correct diagnosis. Once again I thank you for your educational videos. If you don't think they work. Just know, you have changed my life in a matter of weeks. Grateful, I now know what's truly wrong with me.
Hey there, it takes quite a while for your body and brain to recreate a sort of normal chemical response to stress a change in medication will likely help but you need to focus on creating a healthy body chemistry through good nutrition and some fun and good exercise. The long haul is becoming healthy which any small amount of drugs or alcohol will rob from anyone prone to schizophrenia. This is also why vitamins work so well for the people with mental illness. You just keep eating the good food and pumping in the extra vitamins and the body/brain re-establishes chemical balance that makes you less likely to trip out when stressed.
It is not perfect but nothing is perfect when dealing with psychosis and mental illnesses.
Best of Luck 🍀
Get tested for mono, HSV1/2. You might need an antiviral.
Prayers for you my friend 🙏
I just think, wow! sobermonkey, good luck - it's so cool you got on this channel.
My Loved one won’t talk about his schizophrenia with me so I watch as many of your videos as possible so that I know how to help and understand. I also tell everyone that has someone in their life who has these challenges about your videos. 💜
@Carol Peters; This is wonderful to hear. A lot of families who have a member diagnosed with this condition intentionally avoid this topic, because of how society demonises schizophrenia, and their not taking about the issue or acknowledging it is an easy way to pretend it doesn’t exist.
I can’t speak for your loved one, I’m sure he has his valid reason for not opening up to you, but as you’ve taken it upon yourself to watch videos like this, when/if he’s ready to divulge, you’ll be an empathetic ear, which you seem to be already.
Hope things work out great for the both of you.
Speaking from a patients' perspective, it is truly phenomenal to have someone who cares that much about you actually try to actually learn more about your illness. My family jumped in the lake feet first and learned a whole lot about schizophrenia. Sometimes they were so up to date on that they were able to make suggestions about situations that I had not yet even known about. I felt truly loved and a part of their worlds. Your care and attention to their altered world might very way be the greatest give you could give them.
So I actually do this with learning about Autism and Bipolar. My ex husband was diagnosed with Bipolar a few years ago, after our divorce. When he was, I felt incredibly bad because we've been friends for a decade, and I saw all the signs, but was so scared to deviate from what I was taught as a child (all psychiatrists are quacks, therapy is just a way to make you spend money and disclose things they can report to the police), I didn't see it until it was too late. His Bipolar is what ended our marriage, and neither of us had a clue. Now, I'm very well educated on it. He actually lives with me. I learned so much about Asperger's (what he has) too, that now I can be the support I should've been all those years ago. When you love someone truly, even when they shut down, you find a way to give their soul the light it needs to find hope. It's amazing that you've done this for your loved one. I can tell you, even if they struggle to show it, they do appreciate it.
My dad had Schizophrenia. But he’s now dead. He recently of Diabetes and chronic Atherosclerosis. But a stroke is what killed him.
Hey, I just wanted to reach out and give some, hopefully, information that may be relevant. I also mostly don't talk about my condition with my loved ones. A lot of it comes to me not understanding how to explain the symptoms that come with schizoaffective disorder. Many times my family will try to talk to me, often to learn and try and support, and I have intense emotional reactions and shut down. I can't speak for your loved one, but I do know that people showing that level of care an interest means the world, even if we can always reach all the way
i'm a Medical doctor and i find your videos really helpful.
it's educating and accurate.i learned some new things that i didn't know at all!
stay well and happy.
I just joined the Patreon, I don't have schizophrenia (or much money) but I am so impressed and grateful that you exist and help people the way you do, and I want to help you help the rest of the planet. You're brave as hell and a boon to humanity, thank you! (And I love the haircolor!)
You are amazing!
She doesn't have what she claims she has
@@georgekatsireas4324 why?
Why do you think that?
@@Clementine_D the evidence explain everything.The evidence never lie,there is something more about the evidence but I can't add that information but anyway.The evidence point to follow what she says.So....
1) what is the most significant information that points that she actually has schizoaffective disorder?She says that she has been evaluated by a professional psychiatrist/psychologist.Actually about that if I remember well the third time she evaluated with that disorder.So we have to take it as a fact.
2) If I make a video and I say "I make this video/my videos for those who are interested to know how is it to have a Ferrari"then the viewers should expect me or someone in my videos have a Ferrari or me provide solid informations that come from my experience or someone else experience with a Ferrari(that includes a Ferrari in my possession).So,did she claim or stated that she has schizoaffective disorder?Oh yes she did and that she makes videos that come from her experience and others but the most important from her experience again about that and she had made that very clear.
3) Finally you don't need to be an expert to understand that what she says doesn't come from her experience!2 of her videos she made was about delusions (one of them)and hallucinations(the other one). Literally those 2 videos were "my top ten delusions/hallucinations".So,she doesn't only experienced that but she has a top 10 each of them list ,which means she has more (lol)and when you watch that video you see her explain hard core hevy metal delusions and hallucinations,those types that 10 doctors and 100 staff will take you against your will into a track wrapped like a hot dog and drive you directly into the deepest room inside a psychiatric clinic....but then you watch a video of her pay a visit, guess what,oh yes you are right, voluntarily!!!I can go on all day especially with indirect informations that indicate how far away she is of what she claims...but i let that to you and your brain 🤷 to decide.Observe by yourself...
Your insight and ability to clearly explain your experience of hallucinations is going to help so many people. Thank you for the work you do to take the stigma out of mental health differences!
PS - Love your hair! 😁
She doesn't have what she claims she has
I don't have hallucinations
@@mamnykk8515 I do sometimes
I suffer from schizoaffective disorder too!! Mine is the bipolar type! Thank you for being so open in talking about this disorder! I feel less alone in this battle!! We will fight and we will win! We are not our disorder! We have a disorder but we can’t let it define us!! ☺️😘❤️ also I love your new hair cut and color! So cute!! Looks good!
You are not alone
You are by no means ALONE! hang in there. you are in good company
Not alone have the same type love your energy!
The description of your hallucinations sounds so spiritual (mediumistic) to me. I really hesitated to leave a comment here, because I’m highly aware and respectful about how sensitive this topic is. I recently watched your latest video and I’m hoping you’re doing okay.
I have massive experience with my own diagnoses and the fifteen years of treatment I underwent. I’m now a survivor of severe misdiagnoses that changed the entire course of my life. I’ve been off meds for more than a decade. I didn’t have any mental illness. I was this extremely sensitive person who had something called extrasensory perception. The manifestation of such thing shows up just as the symptoms of schizoaffective disorder/ schizophrenia, which are the two main illnesses I was diagnosed with. It’s a long and strange story and I hope I can share it one day in an autobiography. In the meantime, I’m sending you much love.
I thought this as well.
Spiritual psychosis
I have a mental illness (not schizophrenia) and I always felt it a weakness and such shame attached. This honesty and openness is wonderful. You have changed so many lives. Thank you xx
@Generic Name 😘😘
This is the first time I’ve heard hallucinations described as an entity that you can not see but your brain can. Thank you so so much, I’ve been told I could be schizophrenic but that my symptoms sound more “religious” in nature. Your videos give me the courage to go forward and find someone who will really help me.
I have schizophrenia as well. I have visual and auditory hallucinations. This was spot on. Much love to you.
Get rid of those darn hallucinations; try clozapine, trilafon or others. You can do it, sir.
I have schizophrenia and I started hallucinating when I was about 15. I was looking into the walls and it was like there was a whole other world in there. I would hear the sounds, too. I can identify with myself smelling bad. I have the same thing. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Call sheet is so well Spoken in knowledgeable on this subject I really think she would do a great Ted talk on schizophrenia
Your videos are a godsend! 🙏 I watch them all even though I suffer from severe depression/anxiety, not schizophrenia; but just knowing that yourself and others struggle with brain “malfunction” makes it infinitely easier to keep on going. Knowing I’m not alone is everything! Thank you so much for your vulnerability in sharing your experiences. It is so, so helpful! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on hallucinations. This helps me a lot. Also, I just want to say that I love your new hair color.
I was diagnosed with schizophrenia 25 years ago it's nice in this day and age to see someone like yourself that is so well at articulating your condition I used to call it a curse we need to see it as a blessing and there are reasons for it we must learn from it 😇
Can’t get over how wonderful that hair color looks on you 😍
Your videos have helped me understand the disorder so much more when I was diagnosed, but it also helped my family understand me more. My biggest hallucination lately is feeling spider webs all over my body. My eye lashes will form into spiderwebs, I’ll try and pull them off my face even.
I am so sorry you are going through that. A few years ago I saw scorpions coming out of the knot holes in the wood floor. I'd even take video to prove it and no one could see anything. Very scary. I truly hope your hallucinations get better and go away. I'll be praying for you!
@@traceymccoy2932 Sometimes they are real.YOu see them with your thrid eye chakra. Schizophrenia damages/rewires the brain in such a way that partly and unnaturally opens your third eye.
It's a horrible experience, especially when it's something nasty like spiders. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. There is no way to make it stop, other than taking lots of pills.
The scorpions and spiders are an "astral" phenomenon. People who do not have functioning third eye chakras, of course, cannot see them. YOur camera, being a physical object, cannot detect them either. Only someone else who has an activated thrid eye chakra can see them to verify the experience.
I, for one, have seen such things. My mother was a schizophrenic, and I inherited the mental illness from her. I know that if i ever have children, I will condemn them to this horrible disease. I would rather die than harm a child.
This phenomenon is clearly described in some Eastern mystical and yoga literature.
That might be arachnophobia ...what she claims is far way from reality and far way from imagination to be true and in the spectrum pf hallucinations
I know that I've said this on a few of your videos but you've helped me so much in understanding what's going on in my wifes mind. We've been married for 8 years and I swear I've learned more about her since I found your channel than I ever had in all the years I've known her. What you describe is always so similar to her situation. So thank you for helping us and so many others. You're literally a lifesaver.
I absolutely love the information you're providing about hallucinations - when I had an episode of psychosis, I feel like I had one of those moments where I didn't actually see anything, but I was reacting to this nothing as if it was there.
I also really love how your hair matches your chair and the pink on the pictures in the background; the color palette of the whole video is just super nice. C:
I think this is something everyone can relate to. If I could smell something bad I would'nt believe it if others said there was no smell. Smell is such a primal sense, you smell it, you believe it!
Unless a brain tumor takes out your olfactory system and you don't smell nothing.
@@juliejackman2649 Huh? If you could smell nothing at all, it would be awful!
Have you really never had a bad smell stuck in your nose that wasn't really there? Just like you sometimes think you see some kind of shadow in the dark. It's more of an over active imagination and not a actual hallucination I think
indeed, the real question is how the bad smell is manifesting where did it come from, sense one is forced to believe
its there with ones primeness and why is it always right in the face, not somewhere els then one walks into it. also anther good question would be why is it this smell and whats it doing to me.
Thank you for sharing & giving such great insight. Love the hair 💕💕
Very insightful video. Thanks for your explanation! My heart goes out to those who suffer from this disorder, or have mental health issues in general
This lines up pretty well with what I experience. Thank you for educating people on this topic
LOVE the hair color, Lauren! Again, as a social worker in training, your videos are invaluable for helping me get insight on how people I may be working with dealing with schizoaffective disorder or other experiences might be going through and how to work with them.
I'm in tears watching this, I've questioned so many experiences that finally add up a little better thanks to this video. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
Thank you so much for this important and helpful information. Please keep up your good works, and know that it is not in vain. You are helping those who have the disease and educating the people who love them. God bless you!
Thank you for your honesty! Love to you.❤
Thanks for sharing. Thanks for contributing to reduce the fear of the unknown by exposing your experiences.
I love the way you talk its feels sincere. I hope everything is going well with your life
Thank you for your bravery and insight on spreading your experiences and message with the world. I have been recently diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder and I am trying to navigate and treat my mental condition with my Doctor as well as holistically and with lifestyle changes. I was really afraid at first and had too much pride to admit that I had a problem and to seek the help that I so desperately needed. It was only until my symptoms put me in the hospital where a kind nurse suggested maybe it was time to seek mental help and begin treating with medication. Since then I have made it my mission to find what works best for me to manage my mental health and to find a way to uplift and help others. Seeing your videos and seeing your courage inspires me to do more. You are an amazing person and brave for putting yourself out there which in turn has helped thousands of people understand importance of mental health. Growing up my uncle struggled with his diagnosis of Schizophrenia. I always sympathized with him but never took the time to understand what he went through. Your videos have helped me understand on a deeper level what those with schizophrenia experience. Thank you for sharing your story and I wish you all the best!
Thank you for sharing. Very enlightening ❤
You have become a wonderful articulate educator-so I admire you for using your illness as a positive force for good. Thanks
I love your hair cut and color. I've watched previous videos and any hairstyle you wear is beautiful. Thank you for explaining this to us.
Your Bravery and open Vulnerability is such a beautiful trait to possess. I'm a new follower and have enjoyed everything thus far with great interest and pleasure.
Thank you
💪💪❤️💪💪❤️💪💪❤️💪💪
Wow, you are doing such a great service here. Good for you!!!
I am so sorry you have had to go through this. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing! I have schizoaffective disorder too. And a lot of what you said resonated. Thanks so much for making this video. It really helps to know I'm not alone!
Your ability to share your experience with a schizoaffective disorder is so very helpful. Please take care.
looking beautiful, Lauren. As usual, amazingly thoughtful & insightful video.
Such great explanations. Thank you for this.
Lots of great stuff thanks for telling us
omg your new hair is so cute! also love this video. very insightful.
Thank you Lauren 🤗🙏❤️
You r the first person that I can relate to almost the exactly the same the little bits that I got what a relief thank you so much
Hi I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar. I was in psychosis for about 3months, and everything you explain in your videos is so accurate.
Thank you for helping me understand this illness that my son was diagnosed with. And normalizing it versus the negative information you see on line .
Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. SOO MUCH. For sharing this lived experienced. For us caretakers.
I don't know if anyone monitors this but... I wanted to say thank you! Thank you for the opportunity to watch and hear something thats directed more towards the schizophrenics life and point of view. I know it means a lot to have such resources available. I know I have felt so allow, left out and at times have a difficult time expressing myself and explaining how and what schizophrenic affects me and my little world.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It really helped me understand hallucination better.
I really enjoy your content, Thankyou for sharing
Wow. Thank you. Very helpful.
Back to lovin that hair cut! Now the color really spices it up ! Awesome-Many Thanks for all these videos!!
Your videos are so informative. I've been watching all of them as I've always had an interest in psychology and mental health etc.. I have chronic major depression, anxiety disorder, PTSD, and OCD. It took a long time for me to understand why I have all of this since childhood. With medication and counseling it's become very manageable. I also am a recovered alcoholic and drug addiction so I relate to some of the hallucinations that were drug induced psychosis for me. It's very terrifying and kind of scared me straight which lead me to get help. I empathize with you so much and everyone who lives with this type of illness. You are such a strong lady and so intelligent. Thank you for educating your viewers. It's so valuable to have the information you are sharing and will help so many people. I wish you all the best for your happiness, health and well being. ❤ Your hair is really cute.
Thank you so much for this information ❤❤❤❤❤
Hello, thank you for your video
I got diagnose with psychosis and ocd a few months ago, and i can relate so much with ‘ you can’t see someone but your mind registering that there are someones there ‘ I can relate so much, eventho i thought i was the only one who is experiencing like that !
Love your video so much !
Hansen
I'm not living with schizophrenia so can't add much but love your videos & your ROSE GOLD HAIR is perfection :D
Thank you for sharing.
whoa the new hair color is looking beautiful! ♡
🌹 Thank you for sharing.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Lauren. You do it with creativity. Love your hair. It’s like my sister-in-law. She colors her hair a lot. Fun. People like us can do fun things in our life. I only hear voices or noises outside my head. One time I asked someone about their cats that they don’t own. I heard hissing that didn’t exist. It was an auditory hallucination. Thank you for helping me understand you and myself. Stay well
I am truly speechless after watching this video, cause I've been having almost all of these symptoms happening to me for many years now, I was scared at the beginning but having no-one to tell me what's the reason for all that happening to me, and thinking that people would think of me weirdly(cause of the times i shared with some of my friends they said that this doesn't happen to anyone and i was weird), so, i started to accept it and live with it till this day, i never thought about schizophrenia nor that i knew much about it, and watching this video, i learned about it, thank you so much for providing knowledge and your experience on this, really thankful for this video!
Thank you for being honest. I get hallucinations of people and touch. I am scared of the visual hallucinations when I close my eyes. I know it's a positive to deal with hallucinations. Thank you again.
this was helpful. thank you.
I have extremely severe OCD and I often experience sensations of specific things, like the sensation that I'm scared I seem like I'm cheating when that's obviously not factual , but the sensations range is so huge and specific and almost spacial at times and I've literally called it a sixth sense before. I thought about this while I watched your video about delusions too, it made me think a lot about obsessive thoughts and how real they feel even though I know they're irrational. I hope you're having a good day, and thank you for sharing education and your experience. I think the future will be bright with mental health understanding.
You look soooo cute! Thank you for being a light in this dark world. ♥️☮️
Love your videos! I have schizoaffective too, and many of these hallucinations are very similar to my experiences with them.
Thank you for sharing your story. Stay strong and keep persevering because you and your family are awesome!
Just a note to some people: After covid and certain infections people can experience "parosmia". I developed this intensely a few months after a covid infection and am still recovering two years later. I initially couldn't figure out what was going on, but many things didn't smell or taste right. Things smelled and tasted rotten. I was throwing away perfectly good food at first.
I had that too with Covid. For me it was dill pickle chips, ketchup and anything with whatever ingredient was causing this, made it smell like some kind of powdered chemical cleaner or something. Was so weird. Lucky for me it only lasted about a week.
I have the same problem! People don’t understand how bad it is. I’m a foodie, so this makes me very sad. Lately the only thing that tastes good are generic fruity pebbles. Lettuce smells like rubbing alcohol. “Smell therapy” is a joke. I know how things should taste & smell.
Love your hair!!! So gorgeous
LOVING the short, pink hair on you! 💕
You are a strong and lovely woman keep going!!!!
hello Lauren Thanks for the video
Thank you ❣️
Thank you for sharing. I have the same sort of halucinations where you sense someone is there and you cant see them, but your brain is telling you that someone is there. I have seen these my entire life that I can remember. A lot of times people, and some therapists, will dismiss it saying that " oh everyone sees things at the corner of their eye sometimes". It's made me feel like my diagnosis is wrong or that my imagination is just "out there" or that I must want this to happen or else it would stop. This video helps.
Thanks!
Every time a see a video, your hair has changed! Its awesome!
Just followed you on instagram. Keep doing what you are doing. Your doing amazing. 👍👍
Great video, thank you x.
PS - Your hair matches the chair.
Your description of your mind registering something that isn’t really there is exactly how I experienced my first hallucinations. Flashes of images in my mind alongside sensing a presence.
It's always remarkable to me how many symptoms of yours I relate to.
What's unusual and different about you Lauren is not that you suffer from schizophrenia (so many of us do) but that you've decided to navigate the difficult journey of your terrain on camera in real time. So you certainly deserve all the accolades that you receive.
One more thing: you're lovely to watch and hear. Such a gorgeous woman.
Thank you Lauren. I did not know that those were hallucinations, but I have had several of those things you describe. I just thought those wavy distortions were optical illusions, but after my latest psychotic episode, I saw other things too, like a mouse floating around my clock, and then there was a transparent butterfly flying around my indoor tree and it disappeared. It would be good if I could take this involuntary creativity and imagination and do something brilliant with it. knowing how to direct it could make a difference to the world in some way, I would think.
omg I love your hair!!!
Thank you for your videos. They have really helped me in learning to cope with my illness. Also you are very pretty 😏
i notice that i have tactile, visual and especially auditory hallucinations if i haven't gotten a proper amount of sleep. i then have a very difficult time fully falling asleep because i keep hearing things and seeing faces appear when im trying to fall asleep. then i slip in and out of consciousness, having very vivid, almost lucid dreams, but i can feel pain, and hear things that are so loud and real that they wake me up, and the cycle continues. it raises my heartrate greatly, and it just perpetuates the insomnia which perpetuates the hallucinations. sleep meds just make me feel like absolute shit, and i'll keep waking up to drink water cause of dry mouth or because they also cause disturbing dreams. i feel truly fucked, and sleep used to be something that i looked forward to because i'd be excited to momentarily escape the stresses of existing.
thank you maam lauren
Thank you
Thank you. Trying to understand a schizo person that i love so much. Hearing you experience make me have an idea of what is happening on his mind. He hide all symptoms and the whole situation is very confusing
I have started to hallucinate recently, either that or really vivid dreams. My psychiatrist called them hallucinations but calling them that way feels scary. Anyways, wishing for the best lmao, to everyone who's going through something similar, or their own thing.
Cool hair btw.
So are vivid dreams=hallucinations?
Hallucinating in your sleep isn’t anything to be worried about. It could be sleep paralysis which is common and not a sign of schizophrenia. If you’re hallucinating whilst awake then that’s different. Hope you’re well.
wow. Your hair is SO pretty!
You are not alone. My schizophrenia had like hallucinations such as bugs spiders animals and auditory hallucinations. You are brave
LOVE the hair❤️
Thank you so much for making these videos. I don't even know you yet; you seem like my friend. I suffer from bipolar with psychotic features, so I know what it's like. The medication is hard to stick with because of the side effects, but I am finally committed to it. I tried it on my own several times, and it turned out horrible anyway; I am rambling. I just wanted to say thank you so much for making this channel.
I am sorry that your medication has so many negative side effects, it is very brave of you to stick to it anyway. From all my heart I wish you the best! You will succeed in living a good and happy life because you are determined and you are on the right path. God bless you!
Loving the hair😍😍😍
Your hair looks awesome!!!
My brother experiences psychosis and these videos really help me understand how scary it can be for him. Sometimes I get sleep paralysis nightmares and how it makes me feel like someone is coming to get me. That must be similar...
I wish i could wave a magic wand and make all mental illness dissappear .💛
Can you talk ?
