I think I probably do have this illness and government agents probably are NOT reading my mind. It has been more than 5 years since I started experiencing torture at the hands of my government… but tonight for some reason I can see that it is not real!!
This is both a massive relief for me but also I am terrified I could get very unwell again.
That must be a relief.
stop focusing on it, stop being overly introspective, trust your MD and “clarity” feeling will last.
Did you think someone was beaming the voices into your brain to make you hear them? I thought that too up until a month or two ago
Gaining personal insight into ones illness is such a great feeling. If you make self care a priority even if others think your being selfish, you’re not. I get memories of psychotic breaks and I can see clearly that what I was thinking was delusional, but at the time it feels real. Making certain that you take care of yourself is very important for people with schizophrenia. Although, when symptoms arise it’s so much easier said than done.
They were beaming thoughts a lot. but I could hear agents with my ears just outside my windows all the time and i would hear them right behind me in public.
That’s good, really good. I used to think all sorts of things were being done to me, then the clouds started to part and I started getting insight back and life went back to being boring and safe. And so can you! Just hang in their and keep up with treatment.
