Re: For some it's all in your mind. I have somatic delusions.
I realized other people have the same condition as me but they're schizophrenic like me. I put this up on another board for people with mental disorders and two other people came on saying they feel the same way but if they smell from not taking a bath for a few days people are more reserved about sitting next to them.
People aren't reserved about sitting next to me. They sit next to me when there are open seats. It drives me crazy. Then they want to talk to me and I have bad breath. Sigh... But it helps to know they won't want to sit next to you if you smell.
I've gone a week without taking a bath when I was in the hospital and that was the only time I got a reaction. The nurse said what's that smell? And a patient said it was him because he hadn't taken a bath in a few days.
But now I know it was because of me because I could smell myself and my vagina and underarms were kicking. At that time I thought I smelled like perfume and the longer I went without taking a bath the stronger the perfume smell got.
I also thought I was being chased by the devil because he wanted my soul and I had to save the worlds soul from suicide. I was really crazy then. I thought the tv was sending me hidden messages and the nurse wanted to be with me.
I was hearing voices from the world in my head. And was in contact with people as far away as Africa. I thought the president was going to get me out the hospital and wanted to talk to me about how to make peace on earth.
