In reply to olfactory hallucinations?, posted by B2chica on January 21, 2015, at 2:52:53
B2, I have been experiencing these all my life, since infancy. I don't consider them hallucinations, but and extra biological sense that's triggered when I am
Physically stressed to the point of illness
Emotionally stressed to the point of escapist behaviours
I smelled both bad and good odours
Of course, noone else was able to smell what I could.Now I use it as the extra sense I consider it, as a red flag that I am REALLY not well.
I keep thinking about the psychiatrist Oliver Sachs and the books he's published about different abilities, and some experiences as a result of damage.
I don't know. Nobody, no doctor or specialist, has ever thought it was a problem, nor had any idea what to do about it.
