A lot of the people under 35 will act like that. Some of the big non-denominational and pentacostal people are told by the preacher to follow orders from the voices and go bother specific people. These churches tell their people it is the orders of God. NO IT IS NOT! These voices tell others to harm people or kill. This is a problem with the dirty wealthy people running the churches by screwing up parishioners and pastor…these have a hand rammed up their back like a puppet and they just do/say what they are told to do. This is called ‘not self directed’. This behavior really is a problem at work.
At work, in professional jobs, some of the middle class male coworkers will really screw over anyone psychotic, especially a single female. There is so much scamming and fraud in some communities, working while female and living alone could ruin you. Some smaller cities are letting this fraud and sadism just run the businesses into the ground. If you see wages just keep falling and falling, and work conditions getting worse and worse, you are probably living in a place that will not support you financially that much longer or workplaces may screw you. These same people will screw up a male employee who is psychotic some of the time…
While, the next bigger city down the road wants the businesses to run and offers lots of good employment, it runs under different rules. You do not discuss your symptoms, diagnosis, whatever caused your mental problems (only accommodations, changes to your work environment you need to get your job done like limit on number of hours so you don’t go over max SSDI income of $1100, you cannot work with public, you need to work at home due to coworker harassing you, you need same schedule all the time or work from home on your schedule to deal with insomnia). In the communities with good jobs, the poorer people who are frequently a part-time psychotic will harass you badly outside work including a lot of nagging for dates, stuff moving around in your apartment, scams for vehicles/housing, weirdos following you. This stuff is called DRAMA and should not be discussed at work. Stay out of inner city areas if you try to move to city to work as sometimes violent stuff targets a schizo victim who moved to urban area…If you get confronted by gang stalking, multiple people harassing you about something private in threatening way, say nothing and walk away. It will keep you safe not to answer. Suburbs will accept you if you act normal and work like it matters.
Other people who have no work history or developed their symptoms early in life, sometimes just choose retail or service work. Or, you are trying to survive if living in a scam city like I previously discussed, you are less likely to get ruined working in fast food. If you try to work retail, you could be ruined by people stealing from store & acting like they know you, all kinds of crap to facilitate theft and manager has no way to understand you had nothing to do with it.
(If you function well enough, consider getting a govt clerical job not working with the customers. It can make your life much easier…)
Understanding a lot of people who are part-time psychotic do not act right (aka gang or cause stalking), is a step to real healing IMO. In some communities, some strangers around you will tell you how to be okay after you just moved there. If you meet someone trying to pick you up who talks a little about something private to you or can parrot your train of though aloud, it can be helpful to hang out with these people for a while if the person is a functioning professional worker and treats others okay. Some of these fix-ups become good relationships and some do not. If you get a couple of weirdos or bad ones this way, you understand this is not a good way to choose dates for you. These folks can really be a good help to get each other through it sometimes, other times the guy could be a baby beater.
Mental care won’t discuss this. It is called delusional which means the pdoc or therapy doesn’t discuss this stuff…If you admit the thought broadcasters are just another person hearing voices, the mental care will not deny it. But, there is NEVER any coping skills provided on dealing with any of the other psychotic people and sometimes no good advice for dealing with anyone…Mental care workers just follow policy and procedures, some of which are not in best interests of patients such as calling so much delusional. If you ever get confrontational or angry with your mental care, you can be arrested by police on a forced treatment warrant to put you in the mental hospital at your own expense for as long as the DR can justify. Most lose their jobs and some end up homeless. I suggest you just disclose to mental care you have ‘social problems’ if the crazy strangers are hostiles and it causes you anxiety. The mental care is not perfect by any means, this is one shortcoming.
If you move, you will probably have some people try to show you they hear the voices some of the time by thought broadcasting or worse stuff. Amount of stalking to verbally harass for you will reduce after 3-4 months. If you try to move while you still hear the voices, you may get screwed over by the scammers who ruin professionals to make the poor service workers. It’s like an apartheid system in some cities…Professionals who refuse to admit they may hear it a little and ruined service workers who frequently hear the voices, and mess with coworkers and customers. Discrimination systems are in place in some cities to ruin the professionals and leave them as restaurant workers…Some of the cities are so expensive, the service workers eventually do decide to deal drugs for easier financial stability.
To reduce voices, if you had a fight with someone right before your symptoms first started, someone scared you or they were making threats, being in this person’s company may cause your symptoms. You also need to cut ties with anyone who you met through this person. You may just tell the person, ‘we’re good’ and no longer return any contact attempts. Say anything angry and your symptoms will get worse for years, especially the crazy strangers. Ex-frends will usually stalk you, you may need to ask to be left alone. Some of these won’t leave you alone so you may need to consider moving. I would not keep many possessions as some of these people will break a lot of your stuff to run you into debt…Never keep much cash in your place and keep your glasses on you while this is happening. If you can get pictures of trespassers, you can file police report and try to get a restraining order but many times it is useless. If you make any police reports about suspected trespassing, you may be put into forced mental care and hospitalized to shut you up…It’s only worth it to file a police report if your place was burglarized and everything stolen. Insurance company will want a police report. Renters insurance does not replace broken possessions, only warranties can help. If you do not talk to yourself aloud and do not follow orders from the voices, your symptoms may improve in 2-3 years…You will find other groups of abusers hunting the people they meet like predators. Some cities have a ton of social situations, churches and employment that could be ruining people. If you ever see this or get verbally mistreated, never speak up and just leave it quietly. If you’ve seen this a couple of times in your city, there is no point to socializing with strangers as it will only hurt you.
You can sometimes discuss your questions or stories with the people who do thought broadcasting, but some are so mentally messed up it could be self harm to have anything to do with them. You are better never discussing anything about mental symptoms or your story with the people who act normally…
