As some of you may know. I have a delusion where I believe I am part of a brain study. The brain researchers have suppressed my memory. My memory of when the study started and how it started etc. They have also suppressed my memory of my gifts, one of which is telepathy. I think my children and ex-husband communicate with me telepathically although they can’t blow their cover with me or it would ruin the study. Until I was Dx with SZ I didn’t even believe in telepathy. Even now I’m like “well ok…I guess”
Anyone else believe that they can give or receive messages telepathically? I think it’s good olé’ fashioned science. Not voodoo, magic or God. Our thoughts are physical and if your tapped into the right wavelength, you can communicate that way. Anyway, curious to know if anyone else has had similar experience.

This might be called ‘thought broadcasting’. It’s a symptom of schizophrenia and isn’t real. I had it when I was very ill. Luckily for me abilify got rid of that.
Doctors always ask me if I think I can read others thoughts, or if I think they can read mine. I always truthfully answer ‘no’ now.
So, I’ve had it, and got rid of it, and can now say looking back, it wasn’t real.
It’s possible another antipsychotic could do the trick for you.

Sorry I don’t believe it.
Our minds are screwed.
If I told you I only leave my home once a month to pick up my meds, cos I think people are trying to harm me, you would think that strange
A different med may help, or sometimes we just have to live with our ‘delusions.’
Best wishes 47.
I used to think mind reading was possible, but it was just my illness playing games with me. There is zero proof that telepathy is real at this time.

Ya, I hear you guys. My meds seem to be working, they are just working slowly. I don’t feel like anyone can read my thoughts. I think that the brain researchers are preventing me from being able to use my telepathy so I don’t actually feel like I can read anyone’s minds right now. I feel like I could if ‘they’ would let me access my ability, lol. I know it’s weird. Occasionally, I feel like ‘they’ will let me access thoughts that my family wants to send me. I*'m sure it’s my illness. It’s just hard.

I guess it’s one of them things that is hard to disprove.
I mean, can anyone be 100% certain that telepathy is false, I don’t think so.
Maybe other delusions are similar - not impossible but very implausible.
But I agree with Pixel, there’s zero evidence for it.
I have no idea what you’re thinking, but some people are good at reading body language. Some are experts at it. But they’re not reading your mind.

I use to think I had magical powers that I could read minds and tell the future. I still get that feeling that I can tell the future when I have deja vu moments.
I can’t but the actual King Kazuma my rapping alter ego can. And he’s clairvoyant.
