Im starting to suspect that people cant actually hear my thoughts. Everybody i trust says its impossible.
My question is for the people who succeed in changing the belife how did u deal with the feeling that people’s facial expressions are proof they hear you and are reacting ?
Im going to take a step of courage and act from a diffrent belief and try to see it differently but what is the process like? Did you also have ocd tha t made it harder?
Also..was it meds or other factors that did ut for you?
People can’t hear your thoughts. But they can pick up non verbal clues from you. Like if you look distressed, then it’s unlikely they’ll be happy or jolly as they’ll be concerned about you. And you could interpret this as them hearing your thoughts.
For me, medication took care of the feeling of thought broadcasting. Abilify, which unfortunately I think your on and doesn’t seem to be working to get rid if that feeling.
Did any medication you tried get rid of the feeling of thought broadcasting?
I think abilify did give me a little relief. Its definitely not as strong. I love abilify because I dont have much anger on it so far.
I think im gonna have to keep in mind that my interpretation of their expressions could be wrong.
Im starting to trust the mi websites and article about it just being mental ilness. I guess every single legit test ive done has failed to result in evidence. (Guess 6 digit number or a full sentence of nonsense) everything always falls under things that could be explained by other reasons.
I think I need to have more courage that people are being genuine when they tell me its impossible!!!
It sure seems they can. But in reality they’re probably reading my silences or behavior and making guesses. This forum gets intense sometimes but the parent/caregiver forum seems to always be intense and sometimes when I’m on it the guy upstairs seems to know it’s something mental health related and starts slamming things around or kicking the ceiling. It freaks me out on a couple levels because it seems he’s reading my mind and why should he gt violent over my mental health stuff? It doesn’t make sense that he gets angry. I must be giving off non verbal clues like when I’m loading my two week med planner and sometimes that makes him angry too. I never make noise and is it wrong of me to think he should not be reacting to simply my thoughts or movements? He feels threatened by my writing this so he just stomped on the ceiling. He’s a sensitive fellow. Hate is a strong word but I think I actually hate him.
Idk about the broadcasting. On Friday our governor was making a speech and I kept having intrusive thoughts and believed just slightly that he could hear me through the TV.
For me the way that I did it was by just asking people questions. Like are you hearing what I’m hearing? Is someone communicating with you? Can you hear my can you hear my thoughts etc. the more you engage with them directly in relation to your delusion you kind of start to stick holes in it
