Be as simple as possible but not any simpler.
I interpret this as efficiency.
That is the thing.
Tv doesnt send me any messages fortunately
However i feel like im contributing to natural occurences i dont understand that.
Have u had that before?

Please try to remember to keep this recovery oriented and not try to convince others that this is real. Media is not sending you messages. I used to believe this at times , as well.

Can you elaborate on what it means for you to receive messages from reality?

I get messages from TV and film and any acting at all gets interpreted by my voices as communications

When I had this, I had things on tv that seemed related to real life come on the the tv so it made me think I was getting messages.
Just as an example off the top of my head. IF I was thinking about feeding the dog and then I would see a dog food commercial, I would think it was sending me messages to go ahead and feed the dog.
I know that is a bit of a silly example , but it about sums up the general process.

I have this really bad. I think every character on tv is reacting to my thoughts. Are they every nice or neutral with the messages ?

Im not sure i think its a disease of fear. The aim is to scare us. Like the aim of physical disease is physical pain. The aim of psychological disease is psychological pain. Its a signal to me about my condition. Sometimes irreversable sometimes reversible or always reversible.
How about you?

I think everything is a message for me. Been that way since I was diagnosed. I just don’t react or respond and that serves me well.
