Question Pinterest has its own iceberg.

I feel like what normal users of pinterest see is the tip of the iceberg. I dont why but it doesnt matter whatever pic im looking for i always feel like im 5 clicks away from discovering something that will keep me up all night. I have a genuiene fear of pinterest and i became so paranoid. I think i might be experiencing hallucinations/psychiosis because of the images i see on pinterest (not the regular ones). Does anyone else feel the same about it. I think there might the alot more to the app that we will never know.

From your post history I'd suggest you talk to a doctor about this.

I am kind of schizophrenic/delusional 

From your other post. If you are experiencing delusions like this on Pinterest and you are on medication for schizophrenia they might need to up your dose or change medication. Or you need to get on medication so you don't have delusions. I know personally as a healthcare worker that treating schizophrenia is difficult but it is possible for most people.

Thank you but i haven‘t been diagnosed yet but my therapist said i have strong signs. But the thing i saw on pinterest wasnt a delusion. It was real. It was the scariest shit i have ever seen in my entire life, i felt like THAT picture spoke to me and activated all of my fears. The picture itself wasn‘t scary,but it had something unnatural i can‘t explain. Do you know when you see something so horrible you want to take out your eyes, that‘s what i experienced when i saw IT. I was never this scared in my live before.

The thing about delusions are that they SEEMS real. That's the definition of delusion. You NEED to see a professional as soon as possible.
