Not schizophrenic but schizoaffective. When I’m manic and psychotic at the same time I stop wearing my glasses because it makes it easier to “see god.” I don’t get visual hallucinations really, my minds eye just becomes hyper active and I interpret that as getting visions from the divine source. The part of my brain that’s supposed to say “hey, we’re just imagining what something could look like” stops working and I believe I’m seeing real visions, but it’s not like seeing out of my actual eyeballs. Taking my glasses off makes it easier to focus on that. It’s actually one of the key ways my wife knows it’s getting bad. When she catches me walking around the house without my glasses on a lot she knows it’s time to contact my doctor.
I do get auditory hallucinations though, they are indistinguishable from my ears actually hearing things.
There's nothing here!
