This is becoming a real problem

I’ve started thinking that people are talking about me, including my own parents, when I’m with them everything seems normal, but when I overhear them talking I’m convinced they are talking about me, same with people in the street, it’s horrible, it makes me feel sick.

Also I’ve not replied to a family member’s email for over 2 weeks because I am so scared to send the email in case I say something terrible that I can’t take back. And I’m scared to phone in case it turns out they are really angry or upset with me. So I haven’t gotten in touch at all. I want to, I’m just too scared, when I open my email or pick up the phone I start to panic. I think I’m really losing it :frowning:

This is either paranoia or severe social anxiety. In which case you should try to increase your meds or try to remind yourself what you family has done for you that’s good

It sounds like it’s time for a med adjustment. Can you call and get an appointment with your pdoc?

Sounds like paranoia. Your parents are on your side, give them a call to see that everything is ok. Tell them your having a difficult time

This sounds like thought broadcasting. I have it, it’s hell.

Abilify made it go down 60-80%, but I’m having a med adjustment to Haldol for various reasons, and it supposedly reduces thought broadcasting too.

Sounds like paranoia to me but I’m not a doctor. Don’t continue suffering and call your medical team. Explain it to them the way you explained it to us.

I’ll have to call my CPN, I keep putting it off, it’s so hard to get anything done. I can’t meet up with him because I’m visiting my parents and am several hundred miles from home. But yes I may have to give in an increase meds, I can’t cope with this much longer. I’m hearing voices too. I might have to ask my mum to sit with me while I call, because I’m so afraid of using the phone. I’m sure she will, I’m lucky to be very close to my parents.

I think I’m receiving peoples thoughts more than mines are being heard, but it’s horrible, I’m sorry you’re going through it too.

I’m going to write a few notes down so I get across how bad things are, I really do need help with this.

That’s a good idea @Turquoise

I have the same issue and now trying to resolve it with paliperidone/invega and probably with Amyloban 3399 (Lion's Mane) discussion after that.
My broadcasting is about mild or medium depending of the situation and I’m currently on Latuda and Invega. I could tell a big difference by switching from 80mg to 120mg of Latuda.
