Just thinking about some things I experienced as a teenager (age 14+) and I always thought they were normal. Have you experienced similar things?
Feeling like I’m being followed whenever I’m outside. Frequently looking over my shoulder. Crossing the road when I see ‘dodgy’ looking people ahead of me. Thinking that they’ll murder me.
Always feeling like I know what others are thinking about me…like their thoughts float out of their head and into mine.
When having conversations with people, I see myself from their perspective. And I always look ugly as f*** in these visions. Puts me off speaking.
Being with people and not saying anything because it feels like there is a force stopping me from speaking.
Nasty inner voice in my head saying horrible things to me.
Thoughts of murdering people- mainly horrible people from school and bit*** teachers.
Believing I am genius even though my average grades were around 80-85%.
In a room full of people speaking, I feel like their conversations are about me.
Thinking I will be happy if I’m underweight.
I believe the people around me are programmed by the organisation I am now being spoken to by. I feel very sad often for no reason yet people tell me I am fine and happy.
No interest in socialising with most people because they’ll probably see me the same way the voices do.
Most of these are typical paranoia and anxiety. It’s normal things with a heightened sense of impoetsnce and awareness. Back yourself up a little bit when you experience that stuff. Be assertive and take control of how you react.
No, none of them are normal @Jesspresso.
I used to feel like I knew what others were thinking about me too. It tortured me. Cause they were always thinking bad thoughts.
When I was alone at home, I used to always think that a serial killer was going to get into my home at night and kill me. I used to go around hiding anything obvious in the house that could be used as a weapon.
I used to think that my ex husband was planning on murdering me and our son. I thought that he was going to hire an assassin to kill us one day. I lived in constant terror of this.
I used to see shadow men in black fedoras and black trench coats and black semi automatic pistols following me around everywhere. I thought they were out to kill me.
I used to hear eerie organ music constantly. It went on continuously for three months straight one time.
I heard multiple voices and a commentary voice mumbling on frequent occasions.
I had closed-eye hallucinations of both beautiful and grotesque women physically combatting with me.
I used to think that all men were gay and hiding this “fact” from women.
I thought that my brother had killed my son and was coming shortly to kill me.
I thought that the Veterans Administration was poisoning all of it’s veterans and my number was coming up soon.
When I was in nursing school, I thought I was Florence Nightingale reincarnated.
I had tactile, olfactory, gustatory, visual and auditory hallucinations.
I feel that spiritual entities talk to me personally, out of books, and I talk back to them. This happens on a daily basis, even today.
