Did you also experience this?

When I was going through my psychosis, this how I experienced the world around me.

… I felt that everything around me is related to me or is about me. If for example,

  1. Someone is talking on the phone infront of me, I don’t even know them but I felt that they were talking about me.

  2. When turn on the television, the characters in the movie are about me, the characters in that movie are talking to me.

  3. If a bird is flying, that too is related to me.

  4. If someone opens or closes the door of a car it’s like they want to talk to me or follow me or invite me to join them…

Everything that I see smell touch taste and hear is about me.

This is how I felt. Did anyone else feel this way or in a different way… Let me know in the comments.

Did you also feel this way ?

I sometimes have delusions of reference.

It can be bad or manageable. It depends.

What is delusions of reference? Can you please explain ?

It’s that you make connections that aren’t real in the ‘real world’.

You hear a song and think it has special meaning. You hear a sound and think it has meaning. You read between the lines an intention that is simply not real.

I once followed a course of synchro destiny from Deepak Chopra that claims than synchronicities (coincidences) show your destiny. It messed with my sz head.

Edit: If you want the formal definition

So is it like if you hear that song u feel like someone from somewhere or something is trying to communicate with you regarding something? Like you relate to it in a personal way. Just about any song.

I felt it too.

The thought can lead to a feeling…

But I’m too tired right now to give a more meaningful interpretation.

It is great that you have insight, and getting further insight into this aspect of sz.

It will arm you for the future in the battle against sz.

yep. every head nod. every facial expression. every movement. even words on tshirts were all directed at me. sentences. things people wrote online. they were all messages for me or they were directed at me. and i felt they had negative intentions.

Man that resonates with me, even though it was a while ago, I found that the radio or tv were talking to me and that actors were calling me to come to the tv… so I did some acting classes, finished a beginners course, but pdoc said not relating. I knew what I was doing!
Trippy that this resonates takes me back lol.

Meds helped me!

Well, not everyone.

A lot of people on this site do though.

To become aware of the condition and yet still cling to the old beliefs is mostly a half way point.

To let go entirely is quite difficult, especially as most szs have religious beliefs which are integral to their lives. When a society still clings to the ‘magical’ in that sense, how can a sz let go of ‘magical’ beliefs too. You see the quandary? (We can’t discuss it though here.)

Anyway, if you can let go of alien, magical, unknown and unquantifiable beliefs then bare reality is what will help a sz the most.
