annoying how when people hear about hallucinations, especially related to schizophrenia, they only think auditory or visual, meanwhile all of our most vivid hallucinations are tactile and somatic. like, sure, auditory and visual may be most common, but they're not the only hallucinations that can be experienced, nor is it mandatory that hallucinations be auditory or visual to be diagnosed

#it's me #snail.txt #the neuro diverges #we feel bugs crawling under our skin. when we're sick we feel like our organs are physically literally rotting. our ''physical shifts''?#somatic hallucinations. i'm like 80% sure we're clinical (but don't tell the others i said that)#and the only reason it's 80% and not 100% is because i'm affected by it too. i'm just the only one who can double bookkeep #we'll often feel hands especially when we're stressed and not as the result of headmates projecting #but of course there's 0% chance of a diagnosis because (a) if *i* try to talk about it it's unlikely we'll be believed because i'm too self #-aware #and (b) the others are very aware that this isn't ''normal'' to experience. but because of the nature of shit going on they still think--#--it's real. they just won't TALK about it.#and then of course there's the worry that even if we COULD get diagnosed we'd likely have a lot of our autonomy taken #so it comes down to prioritizing getting support & understanding versus keeping our autonomy
