xine-san, i was wondering if your still going through this, i’ve been going through the same exact thing for years. Please message me if you can, thanks.
I hear you man, i get pretty annoyed and scared when they do it.
what other ways do they react to your thoughts?
I totally understand and completely relate to what you’re saying, these same things happen with me and all I end up doing is get upset about it. Even ignoring doesn’t help and when a lot of people do it at the same time, it gets a bit frightening.
Sorry I wasn’t able to report back to everyone else. But I appreciate everyone’s support! Well, I’ve tried visiting a Psychologist way back about my condition. She told me to report back (if it weren’t for financial issues) and decide whether I talk to a Psychiatrist (it’s up to me, not that she’s forcing me to which I’m actually thankful for).
I’ve been living well despite not taking any medication - I’m not saying I shouldn’t, it’s just that my case is somehow different from SZ. I just searched in the internet and thought that I have SZ because of my thought broadcasting. What is happening to me is outside my mind and many times, I’ve tried to prove it to myself by recording everything around me. It usually stops when I do that. Since no one believed me, I was desperate for answers. So I had to record my surroundings whenever I’m alone. I’m trying to fight this battle alone. I’m just existing atm but not entirely living.
I’m not sure I’ll be coming back in here but I appreciate all your messages.
Yes, I think that could be it. When I’m not forcing myself from fighting it, I’m totally okay. But there are times that people are doing it intentionally that I have to protect myself. So I lose my temper.
I get to live by pretending to be okay, by pretending not to hear the certain voices that was invading my privacy. I distract myself. I distance myself from crowd where I’d have panic attacks.
But having this disability, made me also open my eyes to the people around me. It made me see who were true and honest to me. So I’m kinda thankful for this; however, I want my life back so I’m still hoping I’d be well sooner or later.
That’s interesting that they stop when you record them. I also suffer from mild thought broadcasting.
I have to test this theory since it doesn’t make sense as sz if they stop when you record them
thank you for replying to me, i really wish you weren’t leaving so we could speak more about it but okay. Over the years i realized you got to stick to what works/helps, then i guess from there you make subtle/small changes that further strength in not broadcasting… anyways if you ever get back on don’t hesitate to talk to me.
Yes, I thought so too. It was to prove myself that I do not have SZ or mental disorder. But the fact that I’m having suicidal thoughts is leading me somewhere else so I wanted answers. It was tiring at first (I’ve decided to record my experience way back when it is still fresh (the broadcasting thing) and I was panicking a lot since I had no one to believe me! It was frustrating! But now I am able to test my theories, to prove myself otherwise. I’m recording my experience via my mobile phone because what happens to me, I’m only attacked with voices when I’m alone in a public place. When I’m with someone else and I get distracted, I can sense that they’re still there but subtle. It is more louder when I’m alone. Also, I try to find the source where it is coming from but only to fail due to the crowd larger than me.
Anyway, what I’m hearing most of the time are usually repetition of what I’m thinking atm or how my life has been. When I’m reminiscing about a sad memory, someone by my side would coincidentally say something similar. I mean who wouldn’t question their own sanity if you heard someone repeat what you just thought especially for someone you just passed by and barely knew? It’s like my mind is an open book and I cannot control it. Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling.
I can come back from time to time to talk. We can also discuss this on a separate message if you’re comfortable with it. I’m sorry that I haven’t asked you how you were doing.
Yes, I think I’m doing okay for now. Or at least, I’ve been good at hiding it. ^^; I smile, I laugh until everything that hurts fades away. I could say that I’m just getting by.
I don’t mind talking to you. Just send me a separate message (if ever there is one) so we could keep each other updated. But if you are comfortable to talk here, I don’t mind coming back every now and then.
I appreciate that someone wished that I wouldn’t leave. I mean, I somehow felt important haha.
Anyway, thanks again.
Yeah ofc, uh my acc actually can’t send messages yet but i can receive them haha.
I’m good at hiding it too
well i’m glad i could make you feel that way cause you are, we all got to stick together yknw.
But yeah, ill be waiting for your msg .
Whatever you do, don’t try to kill yourself. I’m a survivor of a suicide attempt and my life changed a lot for the better since then.
robin, how long have you been experiencing this? glad your okay btw
23 looong years
Id love to hear your findings and pick apart your brain, i can’t send DMs can you?
No. I didn’t even know the site had messaging
It’s 100% the illness! Nobody can read your mind! Not even a psychic.
The question is, do people that have schizophrenia and tb believe speaking in their mind is personal thought. Ofc, its still a delusion at the end of the day.
Xine-san, I have been in a very similar situation. I would love to talk to you privately since im not confident enough to speak about this here. Would you prefer join a discord chat or send me a mail? Also my english is bad.
My delusions started that way. I don’t have TB anymore (I currently have another type of delusions.) I had to create new words and a language from scratch in order to get rid of it.
I still use it just in case. ელპო ერტსერენ ლამბ
wow same here, i had to make up a cpl of words
