I don’t have this symptom but I do worry people can read my mind. What is thought broadcasting?

9

Thought broadcasting is the belief that people can hear or read your thoughts

10

I hate that people don’t feel how exhausting this can be, I really need help but my own family don’t think I suffer of anything and that it’s “just in my head” well yeah IT IS but then why do I struggle in my real life if it’s just in my head?? Why do people hate me?? I have intrusive and violent thoughts and they actually react to them and judge me based on my THOUGHTS??? I’m really scared and I’m glad I found this site coz at least other people experienced similar things
I’m just tired :(:confounded:

Oh okay I guess I do have thought broadcasting seeing as I think people can read my mind. Didn’t know that is what it was called though. And you’re right, it is exhausting. I can imagine it is even harder if you don’t have the support you need. Hang in there. This site is a definite help. Has helped me a lot and I hope I have helped others.

Thanks
I’m helpless and like my life is divided into before “it” happened and after. I don’t think my life will ever be the same, everything has changed to worse but I still have hope that I can accept it someday bcoz right now I’m full of anger and hate. May I ask u how u cope up with everything? I need motivation

Well it isn’t always easy. I have moments of breakthrough psychosis and in that moment I don’t believe I need help. Sometimes I get angry too. I hate taking medication, hate how I lost my athletic body and hate the burden I feel I’ve become since my illness came to the fore. In those moments I don’t want to believe I have anything wrong with me. But then I have moments of better clarity. I’m not gonna sugar coat it but I am lucky. I got my degree in nursing before my illness came in so I knew what I was in for. I still have a good job that is supportive of my mental health. I have a supportive partner and family. I don’t blame myself for the illness, I see it as a bad roll of the dice…these are the cards I’ve been dealt to play with and I’m going to do the best I can with them no matter what. There will be tough times but reality is that everyone has their own cross to bare…This is just mine. There will also be good times. I’ve learnt to reprioritise my life. I want to focus on enjoying the simple things in life. A nice sunny day, birds singing, a good night’s sleep. If something extra nice happens then that’s a bonus. Not saying this will work for you, we’re all different but maybe you can get some inspiration.

Wow I’m glad that it works for you. I feel the positivity through your message and I like that you’re focusing on the bright side. I need to work on that.
I have a degree in pharmacy(ironic) and I’m still in college right now for higher education and this has been happening to me since I was 13 but it was mild and it got worse as I grew especially throughout my college years I reached to a point where I had enough and stayed at home for literally 4 months straight (summer vacation) and it felt so good like I could do that for the rest of my life. U see I have no problem having these thoughts as long as I’m on my own but when I leave the house I feel like I hurt people by just having these sexual/violent whatever thoughts I have.

Is part of thought broadcasting or schizophrenia feeling like you can be inside or part of someone , like in ways of connecting with people. Because happens to me all the time even with famous rappers I listen to in music

Must have been pretty scary for other people. They locked me in an isolation ward at the general hospital for three days because it was so bad. They had to rule out physical problems first.

I don’t remember that, my family told me this is what happened in the end. I am glad I don’t remember, got enough crappy memories :-/
