I think this is a symptom of my illness.
I feel like my actions connect to the world.
Wtf. Lol.
Is this real.
How to knock it off even if it is real, it’s not healthy to think like that. Right?

I don’t actively believe it, but somehow my subconscious does ffs
What do you mean
they connect? How?
I’m also tired of hoping for the future.
Isn’t that just magical thinking.
It’s so exhausting
I don’t really know how to describe it.
But like if I make ‘wrong’ decisions, disasters of all sorts are more likely.
Not just me, but everyone.
Like everything is one massive spiderweb of connectivity.
It seems to be the illness.
It doesn’t sound too crazy.
It has some basis on reality.
It doesn’t help that I was brought up in a cult where this has a huge importance lol. This synchronicity type of thing.

Really what is that basis?
I think you’re having what is called a delusion of reference.

Mae i have struggled with this question for years. The best i can come up with is. This connection is normal, every person has it. But because of the illness and our subconcious is closer to the surface we can partially see it. Its an art to not and forget. For most people its a background process.
Didnt see the other post until now. The feeling of decisions affecting everything is not a good place and i was in that in early psychosis. Its so strange that place. Its basically just haywire perceptions and i realised that the content never really mattered. Its just burning up mental energy.

What evidence do we have that this is real.
The connectivity of cause and effect between people and all things though?
Yes that is a term connected to it.

Oh, oh, I think I got it. Each person is the center of their universe, but with schizophrenia our senses are warped, so it’s easy to believe the world is giving us some sort of message etc. Our brains make faulty connections, which lead us to believe things outside of us have some sort of special meaning when they don’t. Sorry, I don’t have positive symptoms, so I’m a fraud.
I feel like I have had an influence upon some natural disasters lol. For example.
Ppl will hunt me down if this turns out to be true. Lol

Well it’s definitely a delusion. You should talk to your pdoc about it.

Thanks Gecko.
I guess it doesn’t trouble me too much.
Except that the world is on the brink of so many problems and I feel I have a major role to play in that.
Do you get that?
Do you have any activities you do when your stressed that could maybe calm you down?
I need to stop binge eating. It’s really troubling me. Sorry to sound like a broken record.
