Since my disease started, one of my main unusual beliefs is that the government has a time machine and using it to change books and movies and songs and other peoples behavior to send me messages.
They also try to tell me if I keep studying I can be a time traveler.
I really hope I’m wrong, this is very scary.
Has anyone else had a delusion like this? And as extra, do you think the government can time travel?
I hope no one thinks I’m being annoying, sorry if I am
I don’t believe in your delusions. But there’s a funny story about Tesla I’ll share. Tesla was living in a hotel and was broke. He was months behind on the rent and his landlord was going to kick him out. Tesla had a suitcase full of electronics and told his landlord it was a time machine and gave it to him to avoid getting kicked out. Lolol.
So you don’t think it’s real?
Time flows in one direction, to the future. I don’t believe you can travel backwards in time.
If wormholes exist it’s possible. Time travel would work via the self consistency principle.
Perhaps but we would need some way to get to those wormholes and survive the trip. I don’t think the technology is there yet or will be for a long time.
I also think everyone thinks I’m stupid. I can’t shake it off.
Yeah I think it ties in with the whole ideas/frames of reference. It all becomes related to you and I’ve had similar when psychotic. I thought that our version of the CIA was sending my messages by programming my satellite tv. I even thought that one movie they taped over Bruce Willis’ opening monologue to specifically give me messages…
So. No. We don’t have the technology and long ways from it and Yes. It’s a common positive symptom for psychotic disorders like schizophrenia.
Thank you so much, this post helps. I think I’ve been annoying people here and they think I’m stupid, but it’s probably in my head
It’s no problems asking. It’s easy to get lost in delusional thought and that can be problematic on the boards sometimes but it’s about recovery. Recognising your symptoms or sets of symptoms is important for recovery.
For me I’m doing poorly if everything starts relating to me in those kind of ways and it feeds my paranoia.
Yeah I’m having trouble with Facebook posts. I keep thinking they are messages calling me stupid.
Look up ideas/ or sometimes called frames of reference.
Frames of reference are a physics thing, I think you mean delusions of reference, and yes that’s the worst delusion I have along with Truman show delusion, thought broadcasting, and delusions of persecution
Either usage works - I think it’s an old one but it’s been a long time I’ve had sz so been doing it a while.
How long did it take for you to get over schizophrenia?
I’ve never got over it but I’ve fought tooth and nail for better function. Took me a while to get the meds right and sometimes it was good but lots of times it wasn’t so finding that balance with function versus side effects and symptoms is a journey.
You stay long enough around here you’ll see your story repeating. It’s a little different but it’s a bit like moving overseas…it’s the same animal but always keeps you a little bit different…that is my take on things.
I’m sure you’re smarter than me, so no judgment there.
Some guy, when I was young, came shooting out of a blue shiny door. As quick as it opened he shouted at me and said “Don’t say fish!”. Gone in a blink.
Since this day, I have been waiting to figure out what that magic man meant…
sounds like some 12 monkeys ■■■■
