I was told by a psychiatrist that the only time hallucination type things are a problem is if you see someone/something and you actually think it's real and you're interacting with it.
So you have like an imaginary friend (schizophrenia).
She explained to me that hypnogogic hallucinatinos like I get or seeing things out of the corner of your eyes is normal.
I recently found out my cousin had o start taking an antipsychotic medication. Now, she's actually a 2nd cousin, but her mother has had problems with panic/anxiety like me and her sister has too.
So what started this wonderful episode of worry was me feeling bad one night and then letting myself start thinking that I may end up like my cousin. She actually had a head injury though and they think that caused the problems she's having, but tell that to the voice in my head going BOO. LOL
You guys have all helped me put this into perspective though thank you!!
