You are so brave and eloquent to share what happened to you here. Unfortunately many people who are not aware of their mental health issues are sucked into various religious groups which tend to feed the delusions/hallucinations. I am learning so much from what you are saying. You are courageous.
I hope that you have a warm and sympathetic support system, Emilia!! I hope that your family, closest friends and your doctors and nurses who you see at appointment times, are very supportive of you too!!! You need love and prayers and understanding people around you!!!!🌷⚘
That has got to be the most disturbing and most terrifying thing I've ever heard.... I'm so sorry you had to go through that. The sad part is, I want to hear more of what you experienced. And also, did the meds. take these hallucinations away? Are you on medication? If not, I want to run by you some supplements that have helped me, that may make it possible for you to not need medicine. Diet can help change the chemistry in your brain. Try these and eat a balanced diet for a couple months. I’ll bet you start to feel better and the hallucinations diminish. 1. Vitamin D3 (Jarrow Brand 5,000IU - take two to four per day) - This is especially necessary if you live above the 37 degree parallel (latitude) in the Fall and Winter (typically from September to March). The sun only produces Vitamin D3 in our body when it is 50 degrees (altitude not temperature) above the horizon and even during the Spring and Summer, this only occurs from around 10AM in the morning to 2-3PM in the afternoon. So you have only a 4 to 5 hour window in the morning to afternoon when the sun is producing Vitamin D3, which most people aren't really out during those times, because of work schedule. This is why around 75 to 80% of the world population are D3 deficient! A good source of information on this is Dr. John Cannell. Go research how vital and important D3 is for us! You want your ng/ml (nano-grams per milliliter of blood) to be from 50 to 100 (or even slightly over 100 is fine too!). 2. Magnesium (CALM BRAND) - Magnesium is the driver for Vitamin D3. It’s very important and we don’t get enough of it in our diet on average. 3. Vitamin C (take around 2,000mg per day) - Look up Dr. Thomas Levy and Dr. Linus Pauling for good information on this. The Liposomal type of Vitamin C is the best kind! 4. Vitamin K2 (different from Vitamin K1 - Get the Jarrow Brand called Vitamin K-Right) - Millions of people take calcium supplements to maintain healthy bones. Yet few patients or physicians realize that optimizing bone integrity involves more than taking a single mineral supplement. A critical additional component for bone and cardiovascular health is vitamin K2. Recent research has revealed that, without vitamin K2, calcium regulation is disrupted. In fact, low levels of vitamin K2 are associated with an increased risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis. K2 is the gateway that allows calcium to get to your bones. When you take vitamin D3, your body creates more of these vitamin K2-dependent proteins, the proteins that will move the calcium around. They have a lot of potential health benefits. But until the K2 comes in to activate those proteins, those benefits aren't realized. So, really, if you're taking vitamin D, you're creating an increased demand for K2. And vitamin D and K2 work together to strengthen your bones and improve your heart health.For so long, we've been told to take calcium for osteoporosis... and vitamin D3, which we know is helpful. But then, more studies are coming out showing that increased calcium intake is causing more heart attacks and strokes. That created a lot of confusion around whether calcium is safe or not. But that's the wrong question to be asking, because we'll never properly understand the health benefits of calcium or vitamin D3, unless we take into consideration K2. That's what keeps the calcium in its right place. 5. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Ubiquinol - it’s a substance similar to a vitamin. It is found in every cell of the body. Your body makes CoQ10, and your cells use it to produce energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance. It also functions as an antioxidant, which protects the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. (Get the Jarrow Brand - no I don’t work for them, but I’ve heard they are the best in all of these, and it’s what I take). 6. Vitamin B-Right (Jarrow) which has all of the B vitamins in it. Niacin (B3) has proven to be very helpful for those with Schizophrenia and Psychosis. Look up Dr. Abram Hoffer and his research on mental illness and Niacin. Careful with Niacin in huge quantities, as it will cause a 'flushing' effect, but you still want enough to get the benefits. 7. Oxylent (which is one of the best tasting and best multi-vitamins out there in my opinion). It’s got most of all you need in there when included with what I mentioned above. (Those are the main ones above, but here are a few other supplements I take. ChlorOxygen, Serrapeptase {SerraGold Brand}, mushroom supplement called 'Breathe' by New Chapter Life-shield, HealthForce Green Alchemy Protein Powder, HealthForce Vitamineral Green, Probiotics, MSM, Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar, local honey, and avocados for potassium, along with getting at least a half gallon of water per day - which I drink at least 32 oz. to 50 oz. of water on an empty stomach every morning). P.S. get off of Gluten and/or dairy (as well as chocolate which is a stimulant). People with food sensitivities (especially those with Celiac) are many times more likely to have a mental illness like Schizophrenia.
Schizoaffective and Schizophrenia are definitely a burden to bear. I remember when I was downtown one time I felt like my soul was going to leave my body. I guess that's similar to when you had the feeling of something growing inside of you. It's just a delusion. Though, there are wicked spirit beings that taunt and tempt people. A lot of people don't realize that these symptoms are actually a spiritual weakness. Medications do help, but they don't really address the underlying issues as much as you'd think. I find solace in knowing that I'm grounded in a reality where I'm not doing harm to myself or others. Even if there are things going on behind the scenes it's still something that keeps me happy. Thank you for sharing.

Angie LupusLife of course. thank you for watching :)
One time when I was manic I was talking to famous people in my head and telepathically telling them to do things and they would do it.
+Vincent Zetta that sounds like it could be terrifying and awesome at the same time :P
+Emilia Lecter good way to describe it.

+brocksprogramming thank you for watching and sharing your experience :)
Quite the story teller and I really hope it's not all self induced. Hypochondriac? Perhaps you like attention?
