Yeah. For the past few years, I've been looked at by so many doctors. They've been trying to figure out whether the hallucinations are schizophrenia related or something different. I'm not on any drugs, legal or illegal, that would cause that.

The hallucinations themselves are disturbing, but not awful. All of them except the last one can be ignored. It's like looking away from someone in a room, they don't shift with your vision, they stay in one spot. The corpses also stay in one spot, so I don't have to see them if I don't want to. The voices are worse, trust me.

I wouldn't be able to see a corpse in my room and look away. I would be paranoid that it's coming up behind me or something. :c

Yeah, I had to turn my bed 180 degrees so my back is to the wall so that I can actually sleep.

Does it affect your ability to play violent video games at all.

Horrifyingly mutilated corpses of various descriptions, "Monsters" I guess you could call some of them, people trying to kill me or those around me, but the most frequent of all is a sort of "blood" dripping down over my vision and then it all goes black for a few minutes and I can't see.

The "people trying to kill me", it's obvious you are aware they are fake, so do you just ignore them and everything is okay, or if they actually "attack" you, will your brain really think you are being attacked and think you're dead?

Kind of a "If you die in your dreams, you die in real-life," Freddy Krueger scenario.

No.

A mix of both. If they try to "attack" me, I'll have a panic attack and think I'm gonna die. It's really annoying and is not under my control.

This guy speaks much more clearly about it here.  It's very interesting imo.

Edit:
Holy crap.  I used to hear my mom screaming at me when she wasn't even home.

What happens if you try to fight back in any way?

The problem with the majority of most schizophrenic's, let alone all people with those kind of psycho-mental merges of disorders, is that they are deprived of being able to control and distinguish rational from irrational. Not because they have no willpower to do so, but because they simply have no control over it psychologically, or simply have a disfunction in their brain to prevent it.

He's been clear about his schizophrenia for a while, I doubt he's lying.
