Hello i just wanted to introduce myself. I’m Wanda, and i have been having thought broadcasting since i was 15 and i still believe that even you, those that are reading my post can also read my mind, if i think about you i will feel discomfort because just having a thought about someone will bring their mind into my mind’s direct proximity. and it is terrifying because many of my thoughts are not “pure” and even when they are, i have extreme social anxiety about it. so tell me please, Can you read my mind? i mean supposedly it is against society’s rules to talk about that fact that every living human has telepathic abilities (at least that is what i was told recently by someone) but i think it is ridiculous, because what about those with social anxiety and intrusive thoughts or paranoia? i think it would just be so much more healthy to get these type things out in the open so we can talk about it face to face, and be sure what is happening to us. What do you think?
Welcome to the forum Wanda.
I have struggled with this as well. I find that even the music I listen to alludes to it. Not sure if it’s something being encouraged by cultural Marxism or not. I think it’s a sense we have developed where we can hear the subconscious chatter of others. This really messed up my thinking pattern because every time I pick up on it, my mind tries to communicate back the most obscene things to provoke a reaction, which then makes me anxious and worried. But I have been doing this for a long time now, and I am yet to be able to prove its existence even to myself by getting a response. I put it down to the fact people use it to play minds games with each other, to gain a competitive advantage over others. Can’t think of anything else as to why people would keep something like this a secret for so long.
The only proof I have is the frequent preempting what others say, but that’s just coincidental.
Welcome Wanda!
If I have mind reading abilities I’ve yet to learn to use them! A lot of times people can pick up a lot of what a person is thinking and feeling from their body language.
Even if people could actually read minds and they can’t, you shouldn’t be ashamed of your “impure” thoughts. I’m sure everyone has similar or worse thoughts than you.
Also, are you on any meds? If you’re still having such strong delusions it sounds like your meds need adjusted a bit.
yes, mind games maybe? or maybe a government experiment? or maybe i am not even ON planet earth anymore??? because one time recently while in bed (my room is in the front of our home right behind the front bay windows i keep curtains up of course. but i can hear people outside easily) i decided to stop thinking back and forth to the voices and just listen to the outside noises, and as soon as i did this a police came to the front of my home and shined a light onto the front of the house… i heard some pedestrians out side there too( and it was late at night … btw my voices just said “SHH” to me). One person said something like “poor woman” and another, the police said to clean the home or they will “get” my brother.
all the while my “voices” are also talking to me telling me to be careful and that i had better clean or they might get me, they said they couldn’t clean because their bodies have been taken! But i was catatonic and in shock and could not move…
i am going to try to get back on Abilify, am waiting for apt. but no amount of meds in the past have ever blocked Thought Broadcasting. they have only seemed to have helped with my mood. (voices said “we’ll see”) the voices are new symptoms i didn’t hear them before 8 months ago. i only heard real noises other’s could also hear, these noises and people around me were directly responding to my thoughts. that still happens but now i also hear voices. i am 31 and have had TB since age 15
the voices don’t want me to talk about these things to the public. they act as if we will get in some type of trouble for doing so. i never listen to my voices directing me on what to do. but i wonder if maybe i should?
Listening to your voices probably isn’t a good idea. I’ve had voices before too and am happy I didn’t listen to them. It sounds like you’re having a really tough time, perhaps you could call your pdoc and they could get you in a bit sooner?
TB = tuberculosis? edit: nm TB =thought broadcasting, derp
If you’re not comfortable talking in public, feel free to send me a pm if you need someone to talk to. It might take me a while to respond though since I’m busy irl. I’ve had severe delusions when i went psychotic so I will not judge you harshly.
Im sorry you suffer so much. Just relax, we cannot read your mind. Its all in your head. How old are you now ThoughtBroadGirl? Are you on medication? If so what do you take?
Oh and welcome to the forums!
I am 31, and waiting for a med apt. i can’t get it sooner, i have to meet with a social worker first that’s just how it works here for some reason.
and thank you for your support. but i know the guys on tv can read my mind. lol it is really embarrassing having someone i do not know personally inside my home on a regular basis, but i can’t control what’s on tv because i live with my mom. anyway i already have social anxiety. i should just do what the majority wants of me. i feel guilty not doing it, because i do want to be liked … just that my mind is fickle and i don’t think i can really ever feel good enough to be liked by anyone out there.
For what it’s worth, before my first hospitalisation, I too had the thought broadcasting/ telepathy thing. I remember when I was in the hospital trying my best to make sure people couldn’t read my mind.
Then when I was put on abilify, which you’ve said you tried, it went away. I stupidly thought that this is the first thing that all antipsychotics cleared up for everybody, and I only found out a few days ago on this forum that’s not the case.
How long were you on abilify?
Welcome. Many of us here have experienced this and I personally know how frustrating it can be. I too am currently off meds and have learned to avoid the tv, radio, and whatever else is triggering it. I’m on a vitamin regimen and trying to eat healthy. While this doesn’t help like APs, its all we have sometimes ya know?
thought i would say hi.
take care
for 7 years. but i am going to try a higher dose this time, so wish me luck
yes, completely understand, i need to start taking care of my health again too,.
thank you
