    Definitely see a doctor, im slightly worried that this could escalate to you actually harming someone whilst in the grip of one of these delusions.

    y'know... people denying things they say is common, too. It doesn't mean it's hallucinations. They forget what they say, or they never noticed it in the first place. Happens a lot. Or they have a reason to pretend they didn't say it. AND then there's the chance you misheard something.

    But really, constant hallucinations make me kinda envious. I wish I had them. I don't, and I didn't do any hallucies before after highschool.

    But when in kindergarden, I did think I was trapped by evil aliens. Their goal was to extract information from my brain by putting me in this their-created "test" world and seeing what I do. Meaning everyone in the world would be an evil alien creation, maybe an illusion, whose sole purpose is to test me. Yeah. That was kindergarden for me. If I was right, by now I've started believing the world is real and am fooled.

    If you use psychedelics as more of an adult, you may find out just which bits of your mind it feeds, what bits are made up. Then you can use reason to help yourself exclude that from what you consider real.

    Or something like this...

    Except for prescription medication, stop taking drugs now. Also, avoid smoking, alcohol and caffeine. See a psychiatrist as soon as possible. You need help.

    I'd listen to this fellow, only when you goto the psychiatrist get as many medications as possible and do it based on your symptoms, once their gone you will be surprised.

    now THERE's advice I'd be afraid of!

    First... psychiatrists aren't that smart. They're experimenting drugs and have had some luck. Prescription does not mean they're better than non-prescription. It means they're legal (and available to psychiatrists), that's all it means. You make it sound like prescription drugs are fully medicinal and safe. And like "recreational drugs" just mess up the mind and could be used for no other purpose.


    Second, not ALL psychiatrists are out just to help people, not all of them care about everyone. Suppose he gets one that isn't a pure do-gooder? Or, suppose he'll be locked in a psychiatric ward? As you said, he might become dangerous. And if a fellow with these symptoms is locked in a ward, no chance of recovery.


    So yeah. Not saying all psychiatrists are bad. But that advice isn't the best.


    edit - wait... did you say that to him or to me?

    Greetings man person.

    The reason psychiatric medicines are more safe is due to their widespread availability in the medical community. Illegal drugs cannot be used by doctors and so therefore their effects are unknown by those ppl.

    If you have alot of money, you can use the rest of your time to meditate alone in a tent somewhere. Obviously your cognition/daydreaming and your experience center melted together through a chemical reaction in your brain.

    This is how it works: First you experience, then you play around with the thought, as usual you experience this. But when you experience that, you sort it as a first degree experience, so you play around with that too, and like that it continues.

    People do get problems with yeasts and moulds, and it does make them ill, but I don't think that that is your problem. As Fraggle put it, you have an emotional problem. If you shy away from treatment that is the way things will remain. People will be quite content to leave you as you are unless you become a problem to them.

    PS. That should be "odAMnit", not "odAMit"

    All experience that is complex in your brain is induced. He has a complex problem, it is simulated.

    Could be drug induced flashbacks, or you could be developing schizophrenia.

    See your doctor and get a referral to see a shrink.

    Ive known at least two schizophrenics who had the same kind of paranoid delusions you described so well.

    The "mental cases" who actually kill are really few and far between. I think it's worth taking the risk that someone might be able to self-treat and come out the better for it. Schizophrenics seem, if anything, highly adverse to violence and killing.

    No, you aren't nuts. You probably see things with your enhanced neurochemistry which really are there and the rest of us can't see them. The discoverer of DNA credited it to his use of LSD which enhanced his creativity and insight.

    The rest of us should see a doctor or try some acid!

    Certain types of neurotoxin's open the mind to subliminal programming. In the instance of Mushrooms you admit you talked with a friend about conspiracies and now you feel you are apart of one, you could suggest that your discussion was taken in at a subliminal level and now you are having odd occurances. (Hallucinations)

    It's kind of similar to classic hypnotism and the cure itself is really for you to understand what is actually happening. The only time you would be clearly need medical help is if after identifying this subliminal programming you "relapse" back into the belief that little ufo's are floating around your room.

    As for the blackness on the mushrooms, I wouldn't bother thinking about it anymore otherwise you'll develop an unhealthy obsessive disorder, in this instance obsessing over whether you ate mold or earth.

    As for peoples comments on "Seeing a doctor", well the likelihood is they will do either of two things. Firstly, attempt to make you see reason so that you can attempt to adjust your own reality back to some sort of "normal" (This might even appear as the doctor telling you not to waste his time), the other option the doctor might take is send you one of the local Mental Health Hospitals.

    I would really suggest not going to one of those, psychiatrists tend to think the mind when broken unfixable and therefore utilise "Controlled" medication where the subject is drug to the point of being submissive and docile. Rather than having the one mental problem that takes you to a hospital, you end up with the countless months of being a guinea pig in a test of which drug might fix you good. (Thats as in mess you up further rather than actually mend you)

    So it's up to you, Stand firm and attempt to rationalise (Get away from conspiracies) or Bend over for the doctor with his regime of drug terror.
