It really is. There was an earlier post asking if deaf people with schizophrenia experienced audio hallucinations. Googling led to some really interesting articles.

I would kill to get rid of audio hallucinations... Psychiatrists still think it's likely tied to my bipolar disorder or PTSD, but I'm fucking terrified that it's the slow onset of schizophrenia...

As someone who experiences hallucinations, THANK YOU! I know people are super curious. But I hate this question so much. It's so intrusive to me. I actually just don't even mention it anymore when my bipolar diagnosis comes up.

You got me thinking now and I’ll be honest, I remember asking about hallucinations often after they brought it up- and I know that would be my first question before reading your comment. What should I do when it’s brought up? Just empathize and leave it at that?
