I need help. I think my friends put a microchip in my brain and are controlling my thoughts and are reading them. The government is making money off of me and every time I ignore it I get in trouble. They don’t want me to ignore them so they can make more money.
Please help
Hi PhotoGuy.
I am moving this to unusual beliefs.
I think the first thing I would recommend is making sure you are in contact with a psychiatrist. I have been through the whole thinking people could read mind and control me thing. Medication helped me to overcome this delusion and only a qualified professional can diagnose you and prescribe any needed drugs.
I don’t know if you have a psychiatrist but this would be my first suggestion.
Outside of that, all I can do is reassure you that I have believed similar things, and they were not true. And yours are not true either.
By the way, it’s somewhat of a good sign that you somewhat realize that it’s a delusion, in my mind. Perhaps you have insight enough to seek help for your delusions. I wish you good luck.
I had this except I thought I was being tracked/manipulated by aliens and that I had been implanted with their nanotech. Medication helped put the delusions and hallucinations about this to bed, but it took some time and we had to try a bunch of different meds.
Are you seeing a psychiatrist? Are you on medication right now?
Hugs to you man, I know it’s rough. I swear to you, what you’re experiencing isn’t real and can’t hurt you no matter how real it feels to you. You’ll be okay.
If there is one thing I can say to put you at ease is that these things you are thinking and concerned about are actually IMPOSSIBLE!!! There is no force or technology on earth that could make that happen! Plus, the government don’t really care about the average citizen, as they already make money from all of us through taxes. But that is the same throughout all world countries.
May I ask what medicine seemed to help you at the peek of your symptoms? I keep getting that shaking syndrome from the medication I try for schizophrenia.
Well let me just say your not alone with your thoughts. And I have thought things like this. And even weirdly enough there would always be a call or something else from a government agency at the same time as my voices were talking or making me feel worried or attacked or something so it added to the paranoia. So your not alone. And if you ever want to talk you can message me or share here and I’ll try to help. And let me also say I was using opiates when my schizophrenia appeared and symptoms got worse but I had been using them for years before hand but had stopped and started using methamphetamine when it actually happened. So if you are using it just saying no judgement that it is a BAD BAD drug to make symptoms appear and or worse.
Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
