Feel soo dysfunctional

Today my daughter drove my mother over to pick up my meds because my car battery died.

Im soo afraid of having negative thoughts about them that I had to have them put it in my car instead of seeing me.

I hate when I get like this… I feel really bad and feel like a coward but the pain of thinking my mother or daughter can hear hurtful thoughts about them is even worst.

I’m sorry @tarnishedLotus . That sounds terrible.

Is the thought broadcasting constant? Or does it come and go?

Comes and goes with anxiety. Also..in situations that people are nice to me or mean alot to me i have horrible thoughts and think its heard…

I need to learn to not let it overwhelm me.i dont like the person i am when im like this bro

Have you had any luck with reducing your anxiety?

Perhaps, getting a sense of detachment could help you.

You know these symptoms are typical sz, so write down the actual symptoms of sz on a piece of paper.

i.e. thought broadcasting. Look it up, study it, write a paragraph on it. Make it real to yourself. Look up sz and study all of the symptoms , so it becomes easy for you to identify when you have these thoughts.

You can say to yourself ‘Oh that is thought broadcasting, I mustn’t take all my thoiughts seriously.’ Let it come and go without identifying with it.

Almost as though you are an observer of your own thoughts. This creates space and you can learn to dismiss these thoughts like a pinch of salt over the shoulder.

Where do thoughts come from anyway? They happen to you. They are not actually ‘you’. And when you discover this you can treat them as mostly nonsense from the universe.
