Are you all plotting against me?

Unusual Beliefs

Of course not. There are 7 billion people in the world, could they all really be in on a global conspiracy designed to humiliate me?

I’m on risperidone so i have some insight so i can say no, but I still don’t truly believe there is no plot.

I want to make friends but i think everyone is against me so I don’t trust anyone. I have one Facebook friend who I regularly talk to and she has never done anything wrong but I still don’t trust her but i am forcing myself to, otherwise i will have no one.

Are you aware of any plot against me? Has anyone been in contact with you about me? Do you even know who i am? I can’t help thinking that everyone online knows who i am even though i make anonymous accounts.

I have no idea who you are. You are correct that there’s no reason for there to be a plot against you and I don’t know of one.

Have you mentioned this to your doctor? Did anything trigger it?

This isn’t new. Schizophrenics frequently think they’re the middle of some grand conspiracy against them. Mostly it’s your stressed out brain physiology looking at the world through a pessimistic, paranoid lens and slanting benign stimuli and messages as being about him / her.

I know that there’s a metaphysical, spooky aspect to it but that’s pretty complicated. Just know that if you reduce the stress level with meds and low-impact living you can reduce the “crazy”.

The trigger happened 18 years ago when i was talking to a friend over a chat program and loads of people seemed to be listening in on the conversation and i had a massive argument with them and they were threatening my life.

I’ve mentioned it to my therapist years ago and she reckons they were trying to get a rise out of me. My mum and friend think it was all a hallucination but I’m convinced it was real.

So this has been constant for all this time or ot comes and goes?

I find adding an anxiety med helps me with delusions so maybe they can find one for you. I don’t like the idea if you being isolated when you want to go out and meet people. You should have that enjoyment.

Hard to answer without knowing who you are. If you’re the president of North Korea, probably yeah. If you’re an ordinary private citizen, then very unlikely.

It comes and goes in varying intensities. A couple of months ago I tried to kill myself after getting ideas of reference and completely believing in the conspiracy.

I’ve been considering anti anxiety medication but I’m worried about side effects.

My favorite is Gabapentin, even though that’s an off label use for it. I really feel like lowering anxiety helps me deal with the delusions because they cause so much worry when they happen. Not worrying makes it easier for me to dismiss them. Just don’t stop the AP. This would be an addition, not a change.

Come back to this thread and let us know if the doctor was able to help you. I know it’s tough.

I can if you want but itll cost you some cash. Just think, your own private person plotting against you for 10 dollars a day. Message me if youre interested.

Yeah, it’s almost as if I desperately WANT someone to plot against me because my life is actually so boring! :smiley:

Ask your psychiatrist to up your Risperdal dosage.
Dosage can go up to 8mg but someone here was on 16mg so not sure.

In order to be plotting against you they have to be giving up part of their lives. What if they have their own- problems to deal with? My brain also makes me think of plots against me but I have a choice to invalidate.

I just plotted an X^2 graph and an X^3 graph if that counts :stuck_out_tongue: just plotting my x and y coordinates :blush:
