Yes I suppose where you are involved in the delusion as a character

Yes I’ve had these before.

For example, I would take any street sign I saw out of context and apply it to my personal life.

And then the occasional coincidence would happen with those. And that would strengthen whatever delusion I was having at the time.

I hope I never experience this again. And good luck to you!

I get them. More so now that I got off perphenazine. An example is the cars that drive by my apartment. They’ll react to me. My neighbors too kinda read my mind and react occasionally. Also when I worked people in the workplace would do things like play certain songs. Even though I worked hard and the people liked me, I felt like I had a negative effect on the business.

I always think people in public are talking about or laughing at me but pretending not to. I have to use CBT reframing exercises to keep myself from reacting to these thoughts. I often think police are after me, too, when i know i haven’t done anything wrong.

same here, whenever i see a police officer, i immediately think they’re coming for me and i start to panic. i also have to use CBT to try and get out of that.

Yup I prefer to call it ideas of references which is another term.

I feel like ppl are sometimes referring to me wen talking publicly or 2 some1 else.

Ofcourse, they could not be referring to me. But I doubt it almost obsessively. In the sense that it’s hard to believe that maybe they aren’t actually referring to me.

I think it’s an insecurity thing. Yipee.

Anyway I think. Dat given, time such ideas may lessen.

At least I hope so because it’s very much an isolating experience…
