Help me, someone is going to hurt me

The delusion feels real. I have a similar delusion, by the way.

My thoughts on why that delusion happens are pretty metaphysical though. But the understandable thing is that a healthy brain doesn’t generate that delusion anymore.

My approach to reducing and possibly stopping thought broadcasting entirely is first, a good antipsychotic regimen, then, loading up on antioxidants so that my weak blood brain barrier and compromised gut lining aren’t damaged by oxidative stress, which allows them, and the brain, to actually heal instead of deteriorate. I also have to avoid wheat and eggs and mammal meat to avoid certain pro-inflammatory compounds that may disrupt those barriers as well.

I’ve had luck in controlling my voices with that approach, since where they used to be audible and able to be spoken to, they now fluctuate between being completely off or barely noticable, after 2 months of trying that antioxidant approach (ionized water is my main source of antioxidants.)

I still have thought broadcasting though, to a limited extent. I feel that’s the final domino to fall, since having no TB means having a perfectly quiet, healthy mind that doesn’t look for synchronicities every second. But, I don’t interact with the radio and TV anymore, or at least today I didn’t.

Everyone’s mind plays tricks on them sometimes. Even healthy people’s minds.

That’s why it’s schizophrenia.

Think about people with Alzheimer’s. They might forget everything they know and eventually who they are. That seems unbelievable, but it’s true. Alzheimer’s symptoms are a manifestation of a brain disorder, just like your altered perceptions of reality are a manifestation of a brain disorder—schizophrenia. What I’m saying is your brain is an organ and it is fully capable of malfunctioning, even in the way that you’ve described, as unbelievable as that feels.

I recommend a good hospital or outpatient program. They need to adjust your meds. I’m not a doctor just my opinion.

I have paranoia too when I post here sometimes. It’s all real to me but I make myself vulnerable. I do it to myself.
