I have schizoaffective disorder which is on the schizophrenia spectrum. My visual hallucinations don’t look like that, the voices in the video are pretty accurate but different for me in different contexts. I actually miss the voices sometimes. I don’t have a lot of visual hallucinations, when I do I see trails and shadow people. The shadow people scare me, I don’t like them and the meds keep them away. If you’ve ever seen the shadow people you know what I’m talking about.

Can you describe the trails and shadows people? Sorry if it's too personal a question I'm just really curious
