Ok ive had this mouth sore that i thought was from my wisdom teeth biting my cheek like ive had before but now im thinking something is embedded in my mouth and causing all of this pain. Someones controlling me.
How do i fight these thoughts? I left a message for my dr but their office is closing for the weekend
I think that is kind of a classic paranoia to have. Like a microchip implanted in your teeth.
It’s 99% unlikely, because if it was for real and came out into the light your dentist would be in all sorts of trouble. The person would lose license to practice amongst other. Second ask yourself why anyone would place a tracking device in you? Do you have a fundemental job in high places? If not you can totally rest assured it’s a delusion.
Im in a weird state where i KNOW you make sense but i cant believe it anyway
If “they” where so nefarious as to want to track people I think they would embed tracking chips in a way no one could detect and that would be painless to the people.Putting it inside your mouth seems like an unlikely place for it, you could feel it with your tongue.
A more likely place to place a chip is inside your head where it can interact with your brain, like with Elon Musks Neuralink chip, we are not quite there yet but it is coming. So your paranoia may be justified in the future, but not yet.
Well, you have to convince yourself. Challenge your own thought.
Free yourself from unnecessary paranoia. A visual fast might help you. Don’t watch tv or look at computer screens or mobiles more than absolute necessary. You might suffer from overstimulation from visual media.
I have been commited a couple of times and the first thing they do is to take my mobile and there is no computers or tv at the hospital. The reason is that stimuli minimalization gets people back on track. Simply slowing down the brain.
I feel like the best solution here would be to just get your wisdom teeth removed. I had that problem with my wisdom teeth (the sore, not the delusion) and the whole problem went away once my wisdom teeth were gone.
I’ve been going through something similar. I dupont put details because I don’t want to trigger you. I am aware of the unrealisticness off these thoughts though.
I’m taking pictures of my mouth sores and blood blisters, and feel, for the most part, I can trust the digital record. I have also told my GP and mental health nurse. Can you tell anyone from your mental health team?
I emailed my case manager and she said shed talk to my dr for me
Maybe it’s the “just incase” argument that’s holding you back.
“I know it’s not true but just incase I’ll keep thinking about this”.
Maybe you’re afraid and seeking security. Sometimes medicine is the best intervention to force the body to calm down and stop panicking so we can stop being paranoid
The root is the suggestions though. Obsessing over a potential threat is rather common. Even if you refutr one suggestion, if your overwhelmed with more and more suggestions it’s hard to refute them all at once
The key is to not hear the suggestions in the first place. Then to be continually flustered trying to refute them
