Do you believe in it. If you do, do you consider it a symptom or the reason for your schizophrenia?
I do. I think that everyone is psychic, i just think that since i just found out that people could read minds recently that the voices that I hear scare me and that I am just a very bad psychic.
I have a lot to learn, anyways. the medicine helps a lot. It makes it easier for me to communicate with the voices (other people)
for me, as soon as I think of someone i usually hear a comment about them or something likewise. I guess when you think about someone its a way of connecting to them mentally.
I have suffered a lot of abuse in this so called realm, but I am learning to get better with my prescribed medi cine and stop self medicating. It has been rough .
I think I’ve been connected to people in dreams. A couple nights ago I had a dream about my best friend. I woke up to some text messages from them describing their dream, and it read as if we were in the same dream together.
I also think I sometimes have dreams, images, and thoughts that give me information about other people’s lives, or the future.
It doesn’t matter what I believe.
I don’t argue with my doctors, I just take my meds everyday.
If I don’t take my meds or even go lower than I should, things will snowball into me going into another plane completely.
In other words I will lose my mind entirely.
I can hear fish and birds think about when it’s time to eat. The sound literally drives me mad when all the fish and birds in the world eat at the same time
Deep inside I think telepathy is a possibility but I choose not to believe in it or give it much thought, otherwise I feed my delusions. It has not been proven.
Yes, I believe in telepathy. I think my alter ego has telepathy. I do not think that the very vast majority of us are ‘connected’ enough to have telepathy so yes, I believe in it and ,yes, I think it is usually a delusion.
There has been quite a lot of "communication’ without words. It’s not that hard to understand, everyone is born with it, sadly tho, most out grow out of it due to the adult humans needing to justify their own (lack of?) intelligence.
You should really try to define this for yourself and then after look into all the different ways the world defines a “psychic.”
That is a widely varied topic.
Regarding telepathy, it’s total nonsense. Look up empathy and empaths… what you actually do is just wonder what people’s emotional states are and why each and everything effects them. Your psychosis is built upon noticing changes in others and then FEARING what they mean for some amount of time that your mind begins to hallucinate explanations and afterwards straight-up telepathic synchronistic hallucinations…
your schizophrenia believes it should exist and believes it should make it as real as it can… and it is adaptive and centered around keeping you in the delusional state where you also believe it should exist and that it is real.
Going back to it though, it’s all about empathy with a stroke of self-centered grandiosity… like you’re especially perceptive (and you may very well be) or for some reason you have a tendency to read others like you are paranoid about them.
The whole key is realizing people are on totally different tracks than you. They might have what seem like cookie cutter responses and you might want to consider your understanding of why they might feel that way as truth… but most of the time it is not the case… even if it’s THEM who are misinterpreting their feelings and you do pan out to be right about it in the long run…
Bottom line though… 98% of all the ■■■■ in peoples heads is just about themselves… not you… At the end of the day people are more or less done giving attention to anyone aside from their loved ones… Don’t push it and don’t seek out attention… unless you already know some folk like you and you might be surprised at how many people will reach out for a casual good exchange of small talk…(and then how quickly ■■■■’ll sour if you try to make a real conversation about it.)
Always always always… trust what is confirmedly said to your face with that blatant reinforcement that it was obviously something that you really heard and be certain that those types of exchanges totally outweigh all the head noise in regards to how you form your opinions about others and people in general…
You’ll find people are not uniform and by and large don’t have too much insight… they’re content in themselves and know how to move about their environments and not look foolish… but not many at all can accurately read anyone. That said some can… but not perfectly and when they’re wrong they’re totally off base… (I know because it has happened to me… winding up wrong like that.)
An example… I mention going to chicago to see a chick x… knowing that a buddy of mine was trying to date her before hand… he’s in the room and at the mentioning of it his face drops and reddens as if jealous and pissed (my interpretation)… later find out he was pissed at the girl and felt sorry for me and dissapointed in the whole thing all around, because he knew she was going to wind me, tease me, use me and never care at all… and that is what happened ;)… except she is actually pretty cool and was clear the whole time that we were just friends and beyond that was just letting me make a fool out of myself being a girl about ■■■■…
anyways life goes on… Don’t trust much of that or give it too much weight. In my experience only a few folk are going to want to sit their and talk about other people’s psycho-dynamic responses… it’s just a gross thing to dig into people’s privacy or point out their immaturities and all that… disrespectful…
but uhh yeah… even those who will sit and analyse other people openly with you… there are very few who are actually healthy to do that with and that all comes from whether it’s being spoken out of versus based slandering ot if it really is just to learn more about people (general or otherwise) to have more long-term understanding and sympathy… and to see your own immaturity in places you might not expect and realize how common your flaws are and how by and large they are just accepted as part of the experience and not thoroughly discussed all day…
Man… humanity is cool… Wolves in sheep’s clothing and vice versa… Sheep in wolves clothing… Privacy is empowering and just about how anyone feels secure in themselves at all…
I don’t know why the schizo loses the sense of having privacy in their minds… but if there is telepathy… know that those two worlds are very much kept secret… and because of telepathy… people love the act of just being a human even more… because it’s the only thing that sets them free from that same “telepathic” pressure we would all have if it were real and they were just better at it…
God dman man… you can go out there into the world and meet the grimiest most horrendous ■■■■■■■ and they won’t be schizophrenic… this ■■■■ ain’t some 1 to 1 punishment system… it’s the existence of a mind that couldn’t handle the stress of the new world without breaking down… it’s been happening as far back as human history has documented… it’s just another mental illness… and it takes years to learn to cope with and it is extremely sensitive and tough to do right and keep it in check…
Gotta have a more baselines realistic view of life, the self, and others… throw away your advantages… ignore your weaknesses… and just be with them… be with people while you are here… it’s the only way to really get grounded in knowing what others are about…
Their heads aren’t that complicated… they don’t have ■■■■■■■■■■■ going on in their about philosophical revalations or any of that nonsense… in my town people either work hard and have families or they do a bunch of drugs… or both… you know I mean that’s what is on their minds…
I see what you mean. That was a very very thoughtful and well explained response for not only me but others who may be feeling the same delusion. Thank you for that reply, I will be thinking about what you said for a hwile now and also you have given me some peace of mind, so thank you.
Edit: i also like how you said most people just want to be seen as a normal human being and that speaks alot to me, as in how most people act that I see.
Also, by psychic i mean telepathic for the most part. Also, some other abilities such as clairvoyance, clairsentience, empathy, etc (mostly the Clair- things)
I’ve been living with delusions and hallucinations of telepathy for 3+ years now… perhaps even coming up on the full 4th…
Gotta know how to return normal when it’s necessary…
Real or unreal it gets a lot easier to cope with over time… the whole point is to not be afraid and try to live life realistically (in terms of how most people see it).
I’ve got a lot of friends who are just as crazy and strange as me and they aren’t schizos… you know… meet a bunch of folk like that and you’ll find it’s all ■■■■■■■■.
