Starting to think that certain “gifted” (cursed) individuals in my town are Psychically Harassing me and reading my thoughts on top of sending me bad energy.
Also starting to believe that I can pick up on these individuals.
For now it’s relatively mild because I have insight - but for how long?
My psychiatrist is away on vacation but returns next week.
Getting worried.
Maybe write down your thoughts and write down something that will reassure you your thoughts are not real so you can read it every morning until your psychiatrist returns
Trust me, it isn’t real. I was there for three years and Im out of the woods now. You need to tell your psychiatrist when you see them…
well sh*t, that doesn’t sound too good. Did you skip your meds or something? Is this the first symptom you’ve noticed lately? Are you stressed out?
You need to use CBT to combat this. There are many cbt tables you can use to assert your thoughts and ideas like these.

@tera.
I’m under a bit more stress.
Nothing major but probably enough to flare up these kind of symptoms.
I’m applying CBT like techniques- thanks @Wayne
It’s not real although it can appear real. It’s a worrying development though. When does your psychiatrist get back?
I have an appointment to see her next week.
Thankfully I have insight but unfortunately am believing it.
I go on vacation next week too so I don’t know what to do.
I see her before I go on vacation.
It’s not possible to kill/injure people through psychic harassment. Trust me, I dropped a lot of good money on Ouija boards and voodoo dolls with this specific intent over the years and have achieved zero results. Disappointing, actually.
Outch. Maybe it’s the stressing about the holiday that brought it on?
Your psychiatrist sounds pretty competent from the way you’ve described them before. I’m sure they can figure something out for you.
Rest assured it’s not real.
This is what I keep telling myself but it is so difficult.
Thanks @everhopeful @shutterbug
I used to believe I had the ability to control situations happening in close proximity to me with my mind, though that was a short lived and psychotic experience I had. Now my delusions are basically limited to believing I’m being persecuted by co workers and bosses. Getting myself to let go of my suspicions is extremely difficult, and my fears tend to grow or wane depending on how I’m doing mentally. I seem to not be able to counter them with rational thinking.
