I'm a little scared [View all]

At what's going on with me. Started like a week and a half ago.

Having olfactory hallucinations.

They are really weird smells mostly nasty smells. Smelled something like ketone and burning rubber while I tried to nap. I was totally grossed out by the smell. Got up to hit the bathroom and to find the source of the stench.. I was walking around sniffing when suddenly it just dissapeared like it was not there.

I'm scared because last time this happened I went psychotic and found myself in a scary strange reality. I ended up in the psych unit for a good while. I'm just scared. I just wanted to tell someone else . Maybe voicing it will make it less
Frightening to me. Kinda like hearing voices,and telling them to STFU makes them less intrusive. Thanks for being here DU.
