Posessed by other people

I am really possessed by other people, they are in my body, they feel really terrible, How can I make them leave? They never leave me alone. I feel tortured by them. I would be fine if they stopped harassing me.

On two occasions when I thought people were strongly influencing or controlling my thoughts, the feeling stopped soon after a psychiatrist prescribed, and I started taking, anti-psychotic medication.

You can decide for yourself whether that meant I was psychotic or the medication helped in some other way.

@see121 . You have to realise you don’t have a choice. You have to tell your doctor about these things. Only they can help you. What other options do you have ?

I feel so possessed by people right now, what anti-psychotic are you taking? I don’t feel like myself, this is worrying me right now.

You can ask your doctor or psychiatrist about Haldol, which I am taking, but the one that helped me during those episodes was Invega. You can ask your doctor about that one too, of course.

Thanks i will try to ask my doctor. I am waiting for Lion’s mane, it will take one week.

When others were in my head it was when I was lost and they were only trying to help me find myself. Are they torturing you to make you willing to go to a doctor?

You are welcome.

No just mean people, they think these intrusive thoughts are immoral, perverted, obsene, this is what they tell me, and images and words flash in my mind. Some want to murder me. What can I do? I am very lost too.

I am so stressed out, I just want a normal life, no one in my mind is standing up for me, I try to stand up for myself, I am wrongly judged, I tell them it is not me.

Do you think you are dead without these people? Because I thought for a time that I was already dead.

I’ve fought this. I often lash out individuals that are trying to influence. Not to say it’s the right thing. Meds are the right thing.

I am alive without these people and dying with. I feel they affect how I feel and think and I don’t want to have someone in my body. It feels terrible.

Where are these people getting their energy that is more than your own?

I don’t know how they do this, maybe it is black magic or there is a scientific explanation. But I heard Lions Mane helped those with intrusive thoughts. I would like to try it. I am kind of hopeless and will try anything.

If no answer helps, have a cup of tea and a nap. :slightly_smiling_face::heartbeat:

@see121 please contact your pdoc and let them know what’s going on, as they may need to adjust your meds. Also, discuss the use of any supplements (such as Lions Mane) with your pdoc first and get their approval before taking them.

@see121, Lions Mane or any other supplement should never be a suitable substitute for psychiatric medication.

You need to speak to your psychiatrist.
