At the request of one of our members, I have constructed this thread so those who suffer from hallucinations and/or delusions can come and share heir experiences in a place where others understand exactly how hey feel.
Hope this is helpful in some way ^^;;

my first delusion was of a hooded/cloaked man he sat waiting for me to be allone day and night so he could 'get me' the only way i could keep him at bay was to sing to him when i felt him arround
second dellusion was people where watching me in mirrors and tracking/logging what i was doing
this then switched back to the hooded/cloaked man again but lately im not just feeling or 'imagining' him ive seen him a few times i mostly hollousonate him and other thing when im verry down . singing to him dosent make him go away anymore either and when i ignore him he gets worse i also think hes going to bite my toes off when im sleeping so i allways make shure my feet are coverd when i sleep ..... i dont no why hes around i wish i did and you would think by now i would have got used to it but he scares me allot . the thing is i no hes not real but when im in the moment and i can feel or see him hes verry real to me

I have cothard's syndrome or cothard's delusion which is where you think you are dead or people you know are dead .I have to wash and change my clothes a lot because I think I'm rotting,and other people will think I smell. I have days where I think someone has stolen my insides , I can spend hours thinking I've died .Also as soon as someone is out of my sight I think they are dead ...this imcludes my daughter when she goes out of the house until she comes back I'm convinced she'd died , if a friend doesn't ring for a day or so or even if I can't see the cat in the garden ..they are all dead.  |

Would anyone mind if I posted in here as well? I only ask because I don't have conditions such as Schizophrenia but Personality Disorders (Borderline & Schizotypal Personality Disorder) that cause me to have frequent bouts of Psychosis & Delusions and I'm aware that there is a separate board for Personality Disorders.

Ah sorted I hope this comes out right but I've had the same delusion/hallucination about a cloaked/hooded Man. He used to follow me around for months. I couldn't always see him but I'd know when he was there. |

It kinda made my tummy turn as well, and not in a bad way at all, when I read your post. It does make me feel better knowing I'm not the only one and I hope it does you too You're experience with the Hooded/Cloaked Man sounds quite similar to mine. Except I have to talk to him but that doesn't always work and I've also had to hide my feet at times when I'm sleeping because I was afraid he'd grab my feet/ankles and start dragging me, so if I know he's there I always hide my feet. When it's all happening I'm convinced of him being there (and with any other delusion/hallucination) but when he disappears for how ever long I'll be more aware that he isn't real but I'm still half convinced it is, if that makes sense? |

Yeah, that makes sense to me. I know it's hard to explain but to me that makes sense. Mine never had a name specifically, he was just the hooded man, so I guess The Hooded Man became his name in a weird way.

I have a delusion that there's a puppet master controlling everything I do and he wants me to kill myself. It goes hand in hand with the voices who tell me to kill myself or they'll kill someone I love - I used to think everyone that died was my fault for not killing myself first. It's so scary.
Also, during manic phases I have grandiose delusions where I believe that I'm invincible, I can fly, I have magic in my blood etc. I was put on a section 3 because my team thought I would act on these delusions (well I kinda tried).
Strange that when you have a delusion or hallucination it feels so real but as soon as you're well again it sounds so silly, at least for me, because I get so convinced of these things when I'm ill.

I used to have a lot of delusions before I took meds. I think what was most disabling was that after I while I started to form beliefs from the delusions, like someone was watching or monitoring me or that I was going to die.
