Hi, I’m new here. I’ve been having a hard time with thought broadcasting. I believe and feel that entities are reading my mind. I’m also trying to block intrusive thoughts but failing. How do you cope when the medication is not working. I take Abilify and Wellbutrin but I’m going to change that and talk to a psychiatrist again. The meds are doing very little. They dull my mind so my thoughts don’t race but nothing for the delusions. I’m aware this is a delusion but the voices I hear, answering to my thoughts make my experience feel very real. I’m trapped in cognitive dissonance and just feel so stupid. I see two therapists but the coping skills they taught me so far aren’t very good. What medication is best for thought broadcasting. I’ve read some entries here regarding this but anything new would be appreciated. Thank you.
Welcome to the forum.
Cannabis causes the psychosis to worsen for me but thanks for the reply.
Its not for everybody.
Thanks! I’ve been watching the forum for a little while and finally posted.
Cool. What are some examples of coping skills you were taught?
Going out for a walk when the symptoms worsen. The sensory information serves as a distraction from the delusions. But it’s relief doesn’t last. Watching tv works too. Other things. Like journaling and listening to music have worked a little. What do you do to cope?
Thought broadcasting is not a big issue for me. I have thought about it sometimes. Generally my coping mechanisms when dealing with my MI symptoms is self talk, making myself useful, avoiding things that can trigger me …
When I was working, there had been times when I felt others were trying to put thoughts in my head or trying to actually read my mind, trying to predict what I would think or say. In my case, it’s because I’m very quiet and so others wonder why I’m so different and what I get out of things in life. Constantly trying to see how I interpret the world around me. But, they don’t know about Sz, so they assume I am the way I am due to being interested in few things and due to low intelligence. But, VA mental health doctors presumably know about stuff like that which helped lead to a 100% Disability Rating.
Not sure how helpful I can be. I appreciate your sharing. I was on Abilify/Welbutrin/Latuda…ultimately Olanzopine helped a lot
