Oh dear, please do tell someone. I don't think this is so uncommon. I used to have tactile hallucinations (actually, they were "opposite tactile hallucinations"- in that I didn't believe in the things I was touching- ie; my cat). Luckily I have not had one in over 10 years, I know how terrifying that can be. People will believe you- and if you are not already on an antipsychotic, one may help you. Don't be afraid to get help for this.

Good luck!

"what would I do" think of the 60ty & 70tys and call my pdoc for meds and/are for pdoc to change mg on my meds and/are I get to hospital and let them deal with it w meds.

Iv read where people either hear thier name being called and no one spoke thier name or they smell things like thier Grandma kitchen did but thier not at Grandma's. Iv heard story such as young man trying to get bugs off his self and he believed that he could feel them crawling on him.

Natural high verse effects of lsd.
Could of hung out with flowerchildren on natural high and fit right in,lol, or tolerated a drunk guy who buying drinks for his buddy and no one is setting in chair next to the drunk.

Ya, I would get my meds adjusted and/or get myself to hospital.

I get them a lot while I'm trying to sleep. Or if I'm just exhausted and laying on the couch. The couch will shake like an earthquake. Or I'll feel like someone is sitting on me and shaking me.

My AP's take care of it. I would go ahead and tell them. If there's a name for it- they've heard of it.

yes l've had similar experiences, and l would ask first do they frighten you if yes then you need to find the courage to tell someone you'll be surprised they will listen and understand.

I felt my grandmothers hand waken me once when l fell asleep without saying my prayers as l always did and she woke me by rocking me awake, l felt her hand on me knew it was her and could feel my body moving. l quickly opened my eyes saw the room still moving and her hand left me straight away...my grandmother had been dead for years at that time, no way was l afraid it comforted me.

i've had that kind, to me it's the scariest thing. luckily i havent had them in awhile.

My daughter feels ticks/bugs on her body every once in a while. Quite a bit lately. It's wierd. We weened her off of risperdal. On a full dose, I didn't here her mention it. On 1/2 a dose she felt them every single day. Now that she is off the risperdal completely (about a week) she's not complained once.

Very strange.

Two years ago when Psychosis happened as my Psydoc explained. I had tactile hallucinations. I would feel touches from my husband that happened yesterday. Usually on my arm from him waking me up along with hearing him say my name and "its time to get up".

Now I am going through medication changes and yes they are back. I would talk to your Psydoc about it. hugs You are not alone.

look up hypnagogia...it's where you think you are awake but are actually asleep..often associated with sleep apnea..but also during times of stress, bereavement etc. It's as you fall asleep or wake up.

Personally I've had...

visual
spiders in the bed
spiders sitting on my face
attacked by a fuschia bush

auditory
people caling my name
other voices

tactile
things hitting the bed next to me

You should try asking a psych.They are the ones that originated the terms we all use here, including tactile hallucinations.
Sometimes we think that we are having exclusive thoughts and experiences.May be true.
It's up to you to see what you can live with and what you can impart to others.
For instance, I have had the full insects crawling from my eyes and stuff.You have to tell people so they can assure you.
If you don't, then they can miss an important step in deciding yr best meds etc...and have difficulty in making the right decisions at another point in yr illness.
You have to be honest to yourself about yr own shortcomings too.
If I had a drink or took drugs on top of the meds , then I'd try and 'account' for it..
You only have to be responsible to yourself in order for those you love around you to feel the benefits too.
All the best to you.I personally would just try and tell the relevant people.In a twisted way, I deserved those tactiles.

I feel knives on my throat and chest I always cover them up like they were really there

Sounds like Oz has the right idea about what to do. being able to honestly talk to your psych is imperative for your treatment.
Bipolar folk. Have been use to not telling people what is really happening to themselves that not disclosing the truth seems second nature.
We are all worried about how other people see us. That we try to get them to think we are normal or not so bipolar that wee keep some of these experiences secret.
The other part about being honest about drug use and diet are important as well.
Its your treatment plan and the best way to get treated is to give them all the info.
