anxiety???

Hey guys is it true that anxiety can cause hallucinations sometimes???

[greenlydia]

Oh my dear, dear mugen...............did you not see my request for you to put ALL your concerns into one post? Perhaps if you took a day, or a week, and made a list.........get all your scared little ducks in a row and THEN post..........

I have NEVER heard of anxiety causing hallucinations, per se. Severe anxiety might possibly cause your vision to alter slightly, as in becoming blurry or difficult to focus, but out and out hallucinations, I don't think so. Where did you obtain this information?  

I suppose I should add here that just because I have never heard of anyone having hallucinations, does not mean it has never happened.
Anyone?

Peace

I've never heard of anxiety causing hallucinations either.  Like lydia said...sometimes an altered vision, fogginess, depersonalization and derealization.  But not hallucinations.

People with anxiety do not see hallucinations... if they do it's probably b/c they are on something called ACID or LSD. lol.

People who do hallucinate, usually are schizophrenic. BUT! Don't let your anxiety start taking over right now and start making your self think you are schizophrenic. lol. I've done that before.

I agree with greenlydia and nursefirl6572 on this one. =)

Ok thanks...yea they say that I don't hallucinate and nothing they say that its just because im always thinking about something that I don't have...
