I’ve been working in my current job for almost 12 years. A new person started a few months ago. Haven’t had any issues with them in the past. We both just get on with our job and have chats which were always nice and friendly. a person who is associated with my job called me on Sunday and told me that this colleague told them a rumour about me.

Does anyone ever have hallucinations that involve people winking at them? I sometimes go through days at a time where I feel like so many people (strangers on street, shop assistants etc) are winking at me that it must not be really happening. I have no diagnosis, but it first started happening around a time when I was hospitalised for scans for suspected MS. Scans all came back negative and I wonder now was it all some sort of conversion disorder. My right eyelid was dropping at the time so... Read more ..read more
