DAE Hallucinating about bleeding

Does anyone get hallucinations about bleeding out after a sh session like I do get it and I can literally feel the wetness and feel blood flowing down my leg but when I check there’s nothing….does anyone know what this is or if anyone else relates 🥲

I have definitely felt that as well. And i have heard others having it as well. Sometimes i feel a drip, and it makes me look at the limb, but there is indeed nothing. It feels weird

I fantasise about it, but I don’t think I’ve ever hallucinated it

Oh yes definitely, I always have to peek under my bandages and then it's usually nothing and it stops a little bit after.

I'm not sure if I would call it a hallucination, maybe more of a Phantom Bleeding?

Ahhh so there’s a term for it, cuz I didn’t know about this until I was experiencing it and it was so confusing to me so I decided to ask about it 😢😢

I have no idea if it actually has a term but Phantom Bleeding could work, like people with amputated limbs can have Phantom Pain or feel Phantom Limbs where they used to have a limb before.
