I suffer from this and it’s very real. I feel like others around me can percieve my thoughts and what goes on in my mind. Often innapropriate or politically incorrect just because I feel like people can hear it. It’s like it’s impulsive. I avoid leaving the house and any public settings because of it as well as avoiding phone calls. It’s good to be able to talk about it. I was in the hospital for a year and avoided sociallizing because of it. I hear the tv talk to me about me too which i’ve heard on here. It’s an awful experience. I feel like I was better off before I became acutely aware of the sense that people can percieve whats going on in my mind.
Does anyone else have any experience with thought broadcasting?
I’ve been on medications since my diagnosis at 21. I am 38. I have been on what I now take for over a year and it’s working well. It’s the only symptom I have.
I just started actively ignoring my own thoughts. It was a scary time when I had what you describe, but it did go away over a period of time.
It’s almost like each episode had it’s own core theme, and the really bad ones were when it all came together.
Dealing with other people has always been problematic for me, and with the added stress of thought broadcasting, I know exactly what bile your inner voice is spewing to try and provoke a reaction from innocent bystanders.
Just remember, each time you try and provoke other people with your thoughts, and nothing happens, use that evidence and try and convince yourself logically that this is not real, and other people do not have this deceitful power over your mind.
It really is a very irritating symptom, and I sympathise with your pain from it
I knew people could tap into my thoughts by the signals connecting us all. It’s like the brain is like a radio. You can tap into the channels and then people can follow what you think.
Same with the voices, they channel them on the right frequency ranges and then they attack your brain with it.
I’m not so obsessed with it anymore now on the right meds but i still believe it.
When I’m distressed and agitated I believe people can read my mind through eye contact so I don’t look at them for long so that they can’t see my thoughts for long.
