Today, I was excited to see a spider skittering across my bathroom floor, because this one was real and not a hallucination. FML

If you're not sure you have schizophrenia (or anything else) and you're having hallucinations, you should immediately go talk to a medical or mental health professional.

It's good that you're in a position where you can at least be self-aware and laugh about whatever it is that's causing you to hallucinate, but it's definitely tough to deal with something like that. I hope you're getting good help, OP. Hopefully with time you'll be able to manage your symptoms a bit better.

Op here. Got an account to commentnt on this. No I am not on drugs. I know this spider is real because I killed it and I am not sure if I have schizophrenia.

Fatal flaw: you need an account to submit an FML in the first place.

are you severely sleep deprived?

But you have hallucinations? are they from drug use or unexplained?

Are you, by chance, consuming a hideously large amount of caffeine? This can also cause hallucinations.

Just because you are hallucinating doesn't necessarily mean you are schizophrenic. you may have some sort of other mental disorder or even something medically isn't right. My suggestion would to see a professional as soon as you can. If you do not have insurance there are many community resources out there you can reach to. Good luck, OP.

Great, now all I can think of is Cartman and the pink Christina Aguilera spiders.

In response to the OP, If you're not sure about the Schizophrenia I'd recommend seeing a Psychiatrist, at least with a diagnosis they can help you on the road to recovery

Could be depression I saw weird things when I was horribly depressed years ago

Ah, my joke is murdered before it can be made. Well, that's a good thing (that you weren't hallucinating) and that you're going to try to get help for the possible depression/anxiety/schizophrenia, I hope that, if you do have any of them, you can still live a fairly normal, if occasionally suckish, and hopefully happy life. Best of luck.

hallucinations are annoying. I often get visual and auditory hallucinations with my migraines. I hope it gets sorted soon!

I see them too! psychiatrists will just say you're sleep deprived. possibly fueled by anxiety too.

Sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations.

How did you know for sure this was a hallucination?... I wouldn't be happy to see any spider anywhere in my house.

For some odd reason I read that as, "...I wouldn't be happy to see a spider anywhere in my mouse."

Are you sure it's real this time? How do you know everything you've experienced in your life up till now hasn't been a hallucination?
