I have a sub aracnoid cyst, It started growing and shoving my brain into my spine, I had brain surgery, and I'm on a combo of meds that would kill a normal person. I experience hallucinations that I can never turn off all the time. Sparks, trailers, things that aren't melting melting, usually numbers and letters, sometimes everything is technocolor, sometimes double vision, tunnel vision, White noise often sounds like angelic singing, I hear my name a lot when there's no sounds, anyways. I live a mostly, kind of sort of, normal life. Driving isn't really a problem, it's not my reaction times or decision making that's the issue, and the reality I see is doing weird shit, but I don't see things in the wrong place. But also, these aren't all happening all the time, abs if I get a few happening at once, I'll try and take it easy. Things have gotten better with the dissolution of my former relationship. A lot less random dramatic stress.

That sounds difficult, one of my favorite parts of every trip is when it's finally over. I'm glad to hear it's not stopping you from living.

Hey I am curious about how people experience hallucinations can I ask some questions?

Does being tired or sleepy effect it? For example just before falling asleep do you start hearing your voice more clearly or louder?

Do you actually see figures and people in front of you or is it more of a "I think I saw a black cat run in my peripheral vision" type of thing?

Thank you!
