I keep thinking I’m not schizophrenic. I feel like I’ve been helping support a peace between Israel and Palestine but reading on Facebook that’s definitely not the case. Am I really being schizophrenic or is this happening?
Yep, its common in schizophrenia to think you are the cause of or affecting world events.
You have schizophrenia.
Sounds dramatic and scary but definitely a delusion. Imagine trying to telephone the Whitehouse to explain that you are responsible for advising Donald Trump in the war etc. They wouldn’t answer your call! Not to say you haven’t good advice. Schizophrenia comes with many delusions. Mine is telepathy. I’ve had it years and don’t think it will ever go away…
Where you think others will read your mind?
I just hear voices and they seem real
Me too some of the sound like ppl I know
I hear what people really feel. I usually hear the people around me. Sometimes I recognize the spirit within me. You can tell me it’s not true but I can’t believe it because it still happens
That’s me. If the meds are not working are they real or not
They shouldn’t be happening and it’s probably best to overcome them but I don’t know how…
It’s scary to me
Don’t forget that they aren’t real to most normal people. Also maybe it’s just me wondering what people are feeling about and then my mind hears it back so to speak. They are nothing to worry about
Easier said then done
I used to feel terrible when I heard negative voices. Sometimes mindfulness helps and focusing on breathing. With time the anxiety goes away and you just let the voice or conversation float past you
It would be easier if they stopped talking a about everything I am doing
Make it a habit to ignore them. Practice makes perfect
Yeah I think there’s a microchip in my skull and people read my thoughts on the internet.
My voices are louder than my internal dialog. They have been loud and painful enough to force me to the ground grabbing my head.
I try to keep my mind on something else doesn’t really work
That’s a shame. I know how hard it is though. Keep strong!
You too pal
