Beings inside me

Unusual Beliefs
1

For a very long time, I’ve had “thoughts in my head that aren’t mine” but now I start to wonder if there are actual beings inside me that are fighting me in my head and are trying to control me. When I get disconnected, maybe it’s just the beings trying to take over.

Could they just be internal voices/hallucinations? That seems much more likely than beings living inside you.

There are no “beings” in your head trying to “take over”. This is voices and delusions of your mental illness. I would talk to your pdoc if I were you.

I have thoughts that are not mine. They are inserted by my voices.

It’s the same with you, @Om_Sadasiva. You need to talk to your pdoc too.

I try to tell myself that it logically doesn’t make sense, but my feelings tell me I’m not in control. I’m “at war with my brain”.

I used to think there were beings living inside me, sharing my life experiences together.
Meds solved that problem :joy:

Yes, and the gut feelings usually win. You need to talk to your pdoc about this @Blossom.

I don’t feel in control either when unmedicated. When medicated I am in control.

I’m that way too. When I am not properly medicated, the paranoia wins. When I’m properly medicated, I win. I’m in control.

I’m still taking Latuda and Lamotrigine. And I talked to my doctor a few days ago and she added Risperdal. I’m not feeling any better, though.

@Om_Sadasiva is Risperdal’s Master. :smile:

I think being very delusional is another thing. :slight_smile:
