A member of my volunteer organization was reading my mind today and I was reading his mind and it was all making me extremely anxious. That’s pure Hell! I was complaining to my friend about it. She told me it was due to my sza. I told her it was real. She asked me, “What makes you so special?”

Not a good sign @SkinnyMe. It’s not real.

What is the better definition of a hallucination, perceiving something others do not or perceiving something that doesn’t exist?

If you perceive something that doesn’t exist, it’s likely that others are not going to perceive it. So, they are both equally good definitions. @bozayo
I’m sorry but it is very highly unlikely that you guys had mental meshing…that’s out of a sci fi book. You aren’t well @SkinnyMe

Did you understand your friend who asked you what made you special? I wouldn’t get mad at her, she’s trying to help. Just keep living and things will come around for you. I’m not going to commit suicide if it’s a fixable situation.

that sounds scary. Having grown up with schizophrenia its hard for me to imagine not having that fear. Its sort of innate to the symptoms. I havent slept well the past few nights–I have started hearing voices again and Im not sure why because I was told I am doing very well despite having schizoaffective–Im taking my medication regularly but only Abilify. Its the only one that works…paranoia is the worst and I feel for u with that—I am getting it a lot more or its just more obv. have had so many disruptions in normal routine life.
Maybe you could go visit a fam or friend thats what Im thinking of doing or find a safe person to talk to.

@SkinnyMe I have never had shared telepathy with anyone, but I had what appeared to be very, very real people ‘talking’ to my brain. I believed a band of brain scientists had access to my brain via equipment and were talking to me all the time. It was so real. I feel your confusion. It isn’t real. You are not reading anyone’s thoughts nor are they reading yours. I hope you feel better soon!!!

I know she was just trying to help, @Jinx. And so are you. Thanks.
Thanks @anon57496651. Talking to friends is helpful.
Thanks @non-average for your concern.
@jukebox, yeah, I realize now that I got to come prepared with prn or as needed medications for when I am triggered. I’ve been doing that lately and it’s not such a problem anymore. But thanks @jukebox !

Would by ‘Thoughts’ you mean self talk being they would be vocalized suggestions.
Was the fear of loss of privacy and well being the real trigger!

Just yesterday, my inserted thoughts started coming back. As I said above, I believed these were real people ‘talking’ to my brain. I went off meds about 9 months ago and I know many will say I need to get back on them but here is the thing. Meds NEVER helped my MI or inserted thoughts. They just made me tired all the time, fat and unable to think. I never had the inserted thoughts or delusion go away on meds. Not in the 6 years I was on them so I don’t know how to proceed.
It is quite something that so many SZ have delusions of persecution via different means. People attacking their brains. I was told this morning that ‘they’ do pick people to harass. That they have ways of kidnapping you, giving you meds to make you forget and inserting equipment in your brain that allows them to harass people in many different ways with many different ‘delusions’. Scary. Never heard that before.
