My thoughts are being stolen from me

I cant think something for long before the thought gets stolen and I start thinking about something else, probably an inserted thought. What should I do?

Oh my goodness. This is my very worst delusion too. For me, i say my words are being stolen, which includes not only thoughts, but written words as well that are me putting thoughts on paper that can be stolen.

It also goes the other way for me. I get severe paranoia that other people’s thoughts physically attack me and try to strangle me. Written words can jump out of books or anywhere else and strangle me.

I actually deleted dozens of my Kindle books a couple of months ago in a desperate fit of paranoia, and I anon’d my account here that I’d had since 2018 so I couldn’t drown in the words.

I even changed my email address and only gave the new one to three people, all of whom are close family. Deleted my contacts list. All those other people were assaulting me with their words.

I wish I knew what to tell you as far as what to do. I don’t know either, I just wanted to tell you that you’re not alone.

Ive been seeing a psych nurse practitioner every two weeks, and sometimes every week, since January 2022. She is very capable and supportive, but we are still looking for the right med.

I get thought blocking when unwell but its not occured to me my thoughts are being stolen.
