tactile hallucinations ? (Page 1)

I haven't experience what you're experiencing-Tactile hallusinations. I had a psychotic episode hun and I assure you none of what is happening to you is actually real.. i feel so sorry for you. How long do you experience all this stuff for. How long has it ben going on?

Maybe a month or so but not so severely. Its happening almost constanly now and I am scared that I will start hearing voices soon. I have thought insertion instead of voices at this point but things are going downhill fast.

Is this the first time it's happened to you?

You just keep telling yourself that it's not real okay. I sometimes here different things to what people are saying. it happened to me a cuple of weeks ago because I'd had too much coffee and not enough sleep. So I stopped the coffee, got sleep and it went away.

Do you get enough sleep. Have you been prescribed sleeping tablets or valiums. They helped me quite a bit.

I have been prescribed Valium and it helps me sleep. 20mg of the stuff, for some odd reason my pdoc decreased the dose on it. It used to be 30mg but now it is 20.

Thats quite high really. I had 10 mg. I had temazapans to help me sleep. Valiums to calm me down. Maybe try asking about temazapans.

You need to tell your doctor that the medication is not cutting it all of the time, that maybe it needs to be adjusted.

Good luck

i take hot showers when i experience crawling sensations upon my back then leg, then i tihnk i saw a bug somewhere then i go crazy and spray my room with raid until my choking from the stench of the poisonous spray but at least im satisfied. that usually helps

There are people that control us. Down to interupting our (most coherent) thought processes. When I feel especially under attack (Which I think may be related to how much I am stressing out over these ideas) I take a break from worrying so much. Playing dumb is like playing dead in our society. I suggest using some type of activity that inspires happiness as a routine to distract yourself momentarily. If you can find happiness and harness the positive energy it gives off inside of you, you can use it to fuel your imagination. Demons are partially real and partially imaginary so drugs are about as useful as bullets. I love people who can only know honesty, like yourself. Don't let them win I can hear and see your potential in the way you speak, with the words that you use. To be insane is to not care, that is the opposite of your situation. Use your imagination to design imaginary weapons of mass potential! Be safe, Be strong. The pure fly above the wicked like eagles and falcons above vultures. The top of the mountain is the coldest but the most enlightening and beautiful.

what you said reminds me of stephen kings "it", where the children use their imaginations as weapons against the demon in the book, like when stan was trapped in a silo with "it" ,I think it was a silo, and held out his bird book and recited the names of birds he'd remembered, for some reason "it" was fended off momentarily.

my mother has schizophrenia so bad she dont know she has it. so i don't understand how you all know you have it. she's been in mental hosptial since i was 3. im 19 right now and i dont trust hosita;. they lock you up and tell you stories i been in one and i hated it. but now i am a doctor and i help people on this site. i am a very intellgent doctor. i went to a really great school and it only took 3 years, i met the predident to go to irag to help the soldiers. u know they need our help. but ill taking a jet to see him tonight.

I'm not having them day to day but have had them pretty bad during my psychotic episodes. One thing that got me thinking their reality was their ability to poke my eyes that I couldn't see anymore. like. pretty well for a hallucination. Also had bugs (spiders that weren't spiders actually but from higher dimension) crawling inside ,eating my brain and everything. Had also ideas about having things in my brain. Eating was like having razor blades in my mouth. My mistake was not to sleep at all. Got me thinking that it's maybe some kind of a natural process since later on I got only butterflies flying out of me. I hope there's something to figure out for you there. I'm still puzzled.

also would be interested to hear other ppl's experiences about tactiles. they seem to be pretty rare...

I was in the kitchen one day, and it felt as if someone laid their hand on my shoulder from behind me, I turned around and no one was there.

I've also felt a fairly strong electrical shock, it hurt, it made my entire body jolt, I was told this was a hallucination but ya know, maybe it wasn't, this has yet to be seen. It was so painful, and at the same time I was shocked an awful face appeared in front of mine eyes, with an awful smile on it's face, and it had vampire teeth, and it wasn't like a physical face, it was drawn out of this neon light.

I hope it was a hallucination dont you?

Also, this didn't happen to my body but I suppose it could be considered tactile because it obviously isn't real, my first little escapade, when i would lay down to go to sleep the bed would shake as if a cat had jumped on it, i would look up and nothing was there, i would then shut mine eyes again, and then it would happen again a short time later.

It is so comforting to know that Im just crazy and hallucinating and delusional, it's not real and everything is fine, and there are no secrets being kept, its a good world, it's down right perfect. Nothing wrong here.

POSITIVE EXPERIENCE !
Hi!

I used to have this tactile hallucination that a guy I was in love with would come into my house and into my bed and touch me...very softly.....I also used to smoke a lot of weed and take coke sometimes and this had set off auditory hallucinations and delusions for 4 years now...anyway, for me it was like he was /is talking to me constantly. Sometimes I know its me, especially lately, since I stopped taking drugs, but usually its like I get so into it I start to believe that its this guy. So the tactile hallucinations were extremely sexy and hot, like something I never experienced in my life....wow....its weird since its not real, but at the moment it seemed real/unreal...I would shake incontrollably...Id really get all worked up....I never told anyone because I thought that noone would belive me anyway...since I am crazy...but it was one of the coolest experiences of my life )

I haven't come to terms with my halucinations like u all seem to have. My mess work then stop. I always( every day) see things like a bug or someone walking past a window but it's so fast and then it's gone. I sometimes feel someone touch my shoulder or leg or my hair it freaks me out but I know it can't b real. I have horrible dreams of death and torture and blood. They seem so real even down to the smells and wind or rain. I know I'm losing it but how bad will it get? I can't even afford my copay for my shrink. Any advice I would appreciate greatly.

my name is dave,

my experience of schizophrenia has been interesting as are all of ours.

its odd its like there are a lot of common things going on.

hahaha im laughing at how bad we can be in relationships especially if we are expressing pain.

i have almost cured my illness.

10 yrs of insanity.

5 ward visits and many attempts at my life.

my tactile hallucinations are as if i am telepathic experiancing other peoples genitals as if im telepathic.
like vibrators (are women thinking of me)
or actual sex with ghosts i can feel.
or being slapped (my head moves)

as far as being controlled im confused. its as if something is controlling me sometimes. moving my head.
slapping me.

Demons, aliens etc. (i doubt were top of the food chain - ask any intelligent spiritual or scientific sane person the will agree)

its psycho spiritual our illness.

and reading will help you get well by an education. if you can.

dr john f demartini. is great.

richard bandler also.

the power of the belief is powerful. the placebo also.

we also cant discount spiritual law. (google some of this stuff)

im not religious im 27 yrs old.

but with the concept of balance,

gratitude. (''you can heal your life' - a dvd you can rent at blockbuster)

affirmations.

do your best to seek logic, and not to believe anything. id reccomend that to every human as i don't believe in any story told by a man unless its a proven fact like science.

hopefully your like me and have had many different delusions and can see that we can believe a lie.

NEVER CRY IN THE PAIN OF YOUR ILLNESS, CRY IN THE BRUTE STRENGH OF NOT ENCOURAGING IT OR LETTING IT GET THE BETTER OF YOU.

when i decided to cry freedom like in brave heart. and to be a good man with whatever it took. i had a healing.

im almost completely well.

my voices were like telepathy, demons, aliens, lies. etc.

no one knows the truth mankind hasnt figured it out yet. bu please do your research.

im googling ''turning off telepathy'' still to this day and im a well read man. that isnt superstitious.

the truth is tho, no one i know is telepathic to an amazing degree. most people just want peace and a normal life.

destroy demons with love. (spiritual)
admit to all your guilts in the past and tell someone. (psychological)
switch off telepathy (physical) - research.
and heal.

please do your research you will be able to help others some day with this agonizing condition.

hang in there.

dont touch drugs, avoid alcohol.

and some day you will lower your dosage.



love David.

I had one where I thought I was dying and felt an intense burning pain and extreme cold chills and felt weakness through out my body, I thought somebody poisoned me because the pain was so severe. Is this a tactile hallucination? Your reply will be much appreciated thank you.
