Almost every time I go out everything starts syncing. I start thinking everybody is against me. The music starts syncing even. It’s really debilitating when I go out. I’m hoping I can hold a job. I don’t know why this happens. I’m gonna hold onto this as my one thing that is impossible. It should help me keep insight. I don’t see how anybody could make that happen.

I still have that on meds but less severe. My thoughts don’t make sense but at least I am not acting on them while on meds.
Sounds like ‘delusions of persecution’ and ‘delusions of reference’.
I had both in spades while psychotic. A UPS truck would drive by, and I’d break that down into…
“U Piece of Shit”
I just want to get out of the situation when that happens. It happened the first night of my mini vacation. I just dealt with it. Then got relief when I went up to room.

How do you combat them?
Meds and taking a break from social media…with the exception of this forum.
What I do is ask myself if they’re logical and prove that they’re random distractions.

Why take a break from social media?
Because I read double/ triple meanings into everything on social media. I also personalize information…thinking random stuff is all directed at me in a bad way.

I think sometimes even normies read double meanings into FB posts. My problem is with the algorithm. It’s too personal. I’ll never give it up though. I get all my news, comedy and inspiration from FB.
What used to drive me crazy is I DIDNT see the double meanings in things.
When I was 19 the girl I was friends with saw all the double meanings. But she was in control of it all.
Then after that I saw double meanings but couldn’t control it at all.
Now I’ve put her insights with my newfound sanity all together.
I can’t see how All of it can be just me
I have seen a lot explained by the fact that schizophrenic brains work faster and so when we hear something we feel like our response to it came first
That’s a great reason for So much of it
But not all
I reckon Lots of people on drugs “ get” schizophrenia and parts of our illness
I thought the spinach & artichoke on my Dunkin’ bagel meant Art.I.Choke by a rich white guy pulling the strings.
Full disclosure, I had previously taken in the movie 8mm starring Nicholas Cage.
THIS is all of my most acute/and specific examples of psychosis that I registered into long term memory.
That’s why we get out of reality, out of sync with reality. I wouldn’t call it faster, just working wrong.

No it actually is scientifically faster
Working wrong, yes that too
This explains only part of our symptoms, sure
