[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 289767, member: 1514"] From a person who recently experienced delusions and hallucinations, they are extremely real to the person and you can remember them. Trying to talk the person out of believing that what they are experiencing is real is like trying to tell us that the sky isnt blue. It is their reality of the moment. Im assuming your were here for my illness this past fall and remember my pregnancy delusion. Now I am 47 years old and have had a hysterectomy so there is no way in hades I could be pregnant. However, in my coma somehow I had delusions and they continued after I came out of the coma because my brain was damaged by the meningitis and one of my delusions was that I was pregnant with twins. I told everyone I was pregnant with twins. I was even convinced that I had somehow gotten ahold of a computer and come on the board and posted about my twins. This would have been a good trick considering I couldnt use my hands! I was telling my kids I was pregnant and that I needed them to move home to help me care for their new siblings! I had names for these new babies. I was telling their dad how he was in trouble for knocking me up. It was so real to me. Now there were a ton of other delusions and hallucinations too. I am still remembering things from that time. I ask people if certain things I remember are real or delusions. Some are real and some arent. I remember thinking I was at the elections because they left the TV on in my room. LOL. [/QUOTE]
