Always feeling like someone is inside my head

Well, I have no symptoms mostly, but I have to rationalize consciously time and again that no-one is inside my head. Instinctively, I get this feeling, as though someone is judging me for my thoughts and actions. Like something is present there. But, I can rationalize to myself that is not the case, yet sometimes I get that ‘feeling’ nevertheless.

So you feel like people can read your mind? I used to have this. I believe it’s called “thought broadcasting”. Which is a symptom of schizophrenia.

Have you talked to your pdoc about it?

I found the right med, which helped me a lot with this. For me it was abilify. Which was a life changer. I’d discuss my options with my psychiatrist if I were you

Not someone else, like I don’t think anyone around me is able to read my thoughts.

I am on abilify/Vraylar as well, I work, go to the gym, etc so I am pretty functional. I mostly don’t have any voices either.

What I meant is that some external force, presence of someone, if even the voices is sometimes there. Like something is judging me for my thoughts or actions, you know. I can rationalize that this is not the case, but instinctually may feel like that.

Well with mental illness, senses can be distorted. Maybe you just recognize the judging self as separate from your other thoughts.
