I hear people talking about me everywhere i go. I believe that everyone can hear my thoughts, and i dont feel safe because i believe people are out to get me. Also, i believe that the whole world has access to me through a hidden camera. Is this true? Can anyone help me?

We’ve all helped you by telling you this is a common delusion and no one can hear your thoughts.
Also we’ve debunked the hidden camera in your body several times through logic.
What else do you want from us?

I guess it just helps me to hear that my delusions are not true.

Also i would like to know, when you have schizophrenia do you hear people talking about you who arent really talking about you?
I get that. But we all know how psychosis works and that simply stating a delusion is a delusion isnt going to make it go away. Sometimes it can make it worse. A better reaponse would be how else can we help you.
So, how else can we help?

I guess talking to me about schizophrenia can help.
I hear people talking about me everyday and it is so scary. Im tired. How do you distinguish if its real or not?

It can be reqlly hard at times. But generally if i hear a voice and no one is there i figure its in my head, though sometimes my brain will make up other explanations. If you live with someone you can reality check with them sometimes.

How do we access the hidden camera? If its the whole world, how do the people that dont have internet or phones, computers or tvs access it?
You need to look at the logic of this idea a bit more.

Its hard to believe when someone says theres no camera or microphone. Especially because when they tell me theres no camera or microphone they laugh about it.

Well it wouldnt be the whole world logically but i believe that everyone who has access to the app are watching me. I believe my cousin or step mother placed a camera or microphone in me and broadcasted it on the hidden camera app for the world to see. Everyone technically isnt watching me but i believe that everyon e
I had it during my first psychosis, everywhere i walked and if overheard someone talked, I thought they were referencing me all the time. It is called paranoia

Hey @anon36467691! How did it go with clozapine? Have you tried it yet?

It’s pretty usual paranoia psychosis scenario you are describing. Interpeting that everything that happens is somehow connected to your delusion. When you ask yourself in the back of your mind “why did that happen” or “why did they say that”, you have to try and learn to interpit it objectively. Don’t use it to fuel your paranoia, instead try to think of reasons it is harmless. None of it has anything to do with your delusion. That’s a hard thing to take in when a part of you is trying to fool you to believe in your delusions. But it is doable. Just take small steps getting there.

I hear everyone talking about me. They refer to my thoughts and talk about my thoughts and things i do. They even say my name. So how do i distinguish whether or not its real.
My doctor starting me on vraylar and weening me off of olanzapine. I hope it works.
