Thought Broadcasting

I can’t shake the feeling that other people can hear what I’m thinking. I can’t leave my house without getting paranoid, I’m scared to go to college, and I don’t know what to do. Does anyone else experience this, and does it ever go away?

I can’t stop the feeling that I thought broadcast. I’ve had people answer my thoughts and think it must be true. No medicine has helped make it go away.

I have experienced this too. I have a blog where I used to document what the voices would say to me. It would make me feel better to blog about it. But sometimes I think people read it and repeat what I blogged the voices would say to me. If someone walks by and I hear “stupid b----” I really do not know if it is real, fake, or someone trying to mess with me. The male voice in my head calls me that alot.

It’s a horrible experience. No medicine works for me either.

My voices say similar things to me. Sometimes it really is hard to differentiate between them and reality, and this only makes it worse. Blogging would be a good outlet though.

Writing/blogging can help you feel better too. It is cathartic. Vraylar has helped me a lot too. But different AP’s and/or cocktails work for everyone differently. I was in college when my voices started too. I graduated, without the best grades, but I graduated.

I’ve never heard of Vraylar. There’s so many medications, idek where to start. I’m supposed to be starting college soon. I’m just worried I won’t be able to finish, or something bad’s going to happen. I do write poetry from time to time, it helps.

Abilify worked well for me for 20 years. I made the mistake of going off me meds for over a year and did some damage. Abilify did not work after my time unmedicated, I like Vraylar but now I have breakthrough symptoms.

I’ve tried abilify, but it had adverse side effects. I can’t imagine being off my meds for a year, I’d lose my mind.

It’s not real. I thought broadcasters for 12 years before I ever found out it was not real. No one can hear you

The first step with this delusion is believing that it is not real… telling yourself this is a delusion. Because it really is…after that the medication can only help with loud thoughts or intrusive thought but will not help the broadcasting itself because that has to be believed by you

After a year of believing this is a false reality by delusions have severely diminished.

I know it’s not real, but I have this never ending paranoia. People are always repeating what I’m thinking, and the voices tell me it’s real.

I had thought broadcasting for a long time but it’s mostly gone away… probably because I tended to have it with strangers and I don’t go out much now :man_shrugging: College was hard, I wish you luck!

Usually when I’m around other people I think quietly so I don’t have to worry about the delusion of though broadcasting or mind reading. But sometimes I have to think “out loud” and the I get embarrassed and start feeling like i’m going to have a panic attack. I’m sorry you have it all the time, try thinking quietly and see if that helps.
