Personalized TV show

Unusual Beliefs
1

So, there is this TV show that I’ve watched for many years and it seems to always release episodes about the things I’m experiencing that particular week. Over the past few months it seems to have lost synch with me and it’s episodes are boring and impersonal. This bugs me and I feel like there’s something I did to cause it. I’ve been looking around to other TV shows to find one that may have picked up the synch, but none of them do.

I feel like a link beyond my life has been severed and I don’t know what to do. It makes me feel lost.

Also, I’m aware it would be considered a delusion as I have considered it myself and even told my pdoc about it. The thing is, it feels too real and just dismissing it as a delusion just feels wrong. Delusional or not, it really does feel like a part of me has been broken.

It’s called “delusions of reference”, and it’s good that you’re no longer experiencing it.

Yea, I’m aware of the psychological terms for these things. They name these experiences without experiencing them. No longer having these experiences is a bad thing. I was in sync and now I am not. Definitely not a good thing.

If they were a helpful experience to you, why should anyone call them bad? Wish you weren’t feeling out of sync, OP. Maybe your show is reaching out to someone else temporarily.
