Wierd experience

[mondaymonkey]

Something weird happened to me couple of days ago.

i was walking towards supermarket which is about 800 metres away from our house. I saw a bike coming towards me with really high speed and it really looked like they would crash on me. I got paralysed and then when the crash should have happened nothing happened. No bike anywhere. I continued to walk and now it happened again. A bike coming with high speed but at the end there was no bike. I started to get really scared and was wondering how can I get safely to the supermarket. I was really anxious but got to the supermarket. Coming back I was anxious and stopped at every corner to see if there are bikes. Got home ok and continued my day as usual.

The whole happening feels like a dream. Really odd. Those bikes looked real.

You’ve posted in MH so I’m guessing you think it is MH related. Do you have any MH diagnoses?

Depression

Are you alone? Can you talk to Anyone in RL?

Ok. Well it could be a psychotic symptom I guess, when I have psychosis I do have strange experiences. Is there anyone irl you can call? Are you under a MH team?

This happened couple days ago. I am fine now.

dh was surprised that I was hallucinating

Recall if that has happened earlier as well and if yes then how many times, also notice and keep observing yourself for a few weeks or months and if this happens again then it could be a delusion. All you could do then is visit a therapist and explain the entire scenario to the health care provider and they would suggest you a therapy or an alternative management plan which could suitably work for your condition.

I saw psychiatrist today. He was explaining about perceptions, not really understood what but he did increase my antipsychotic. Told me to increase further if similar happens again.

It would have been helpful to have included you are receiving psychiatric treatment and medication in your OP

He didn’t mean you decide to increase the meds if it happens again

Yes he did. He told me if I have experiences again I should increase the dose. It’s difficult though. I had couple of them but not so elaborate ones so now I don’t know what to do.

Your psychiatrist said to a patient to make the call on whether or not they increase their anti psychotic drugs based on the patient’s own opinion? No @mondaymonkey , that is simply not the case and you have misunderstood.
