Hi friends,
I smoked weed last fall twice and tripped out both times; it was an unreal experience. During late spring this year I was laying in bed shortly after waking up (2-3minutes) and my partner was changing and I believe I saw a woman coming from behind her. It only lasted for 3 seconds or so. I instantly freaked out and just didn't know what was going on. I must have smoked weed about 10 times in my life and I wasn't high the night before this so why did this happen? I have a parent with mental illness(not severe mood disorder) and a sibling with similar symptoms so I will never smoke or intake weed or any drug of that kind again for sure but I am afraid now that I have ruined my life. I don't hear voices or anything like that or even think people are out to get me. I don't know if this was some sort of sleep related hallucination but I was awake in bed for already a couple of minutes. I also suffer from severe health anxiety. Over the past year I've thought I have had Parkinson's and MS. Over the past week I thought I had multiple personality disorder such as BPD and NPD to the point where I asked to go to the hospital a few days ago and went. I have had 3 MRIs in fear of having a brain tumor... Do these symptoms sound like schizophrenia? What is it like living with this. debilitating disease? I also have been diagnosed with ADHD. |

The are hallucinations people have when just waking up or falling asleep called hypnagogic hallucinations, they're actually normal. You can be awake in bed a few minutes still see things, I have before, spiders and it seems real because I'm up of course and seeing my room, but that wasn't related to my schizoaffective disorder it was the hypnagognic ones which I get sometimes

So there are hypnopompic and hypnagogic hallucinations that occur when you wake or sleep that are considered perfectly normal......
