I’ve been having this feeling that maybe this person that I know is inserting thoughts into my head or controlling them. Now I feel like my life isn’t my own anymore and that I’m forever cursed to live with that person manipulating my mind.
Does anybody else have this? I hope I’m not the only one. Please I need help.
Not exactly, I had thoughts that my mind was being weakened through poisons and that people were trying to reprogram and control my mind. So something similar.
Do you have a diagnosis and do you take medications for this condition?
Welcome to the forum also. 
How do you know its not just your perception and feeling that it’s someone inserting thoughts, but really it’s just your own thoughts
It’s something like a fear of uncertainty. You see I don’t like this person, I’m afraid of them. I don’t want to be around that person, inserting thoughts into my mind and controlling them is just the same as being with them. I feel like it will be like this forever.
Yes. I was taking meds for hallucination or psychosis. But I couldn’t handle the side effects, it was making me more anxious and restless so I stopped.
Perhaps you and your doctor can find a med with fewer side effects. It sounds like you need them.
Like I said, I had similar thoughts along with a wide range of other delusions and antipsychotics knocked them all out of me.
If you are like most people with delusions, it will be virtually impossible for us to talk you out of them. Meds are the key for most. If you need therapy too, you might add this in later. I personally did not need therapy to get past my delusions. The meds kicked them right out of me.
I never had thought insertion. I don’t really believe in the telepathy type stuff.
But I’ve had voices of people I know in my head but I interpret it as a voice that took over the sound of someone’s voice I know.
Thank you, but the person that I think is controlling my mind is one of the people in charge of me. How can I ask them for help if i feel like they’re the ones who aren’t helping me? I want to be less controlled so I stay away from them and keep quiet.
That’s a difficult situation to be in but I honestly don’t know how you are going to get better without meds. What you are experiencing is not real, but I doubt that you will believe me. I’ve been on this forum long enough and tried the talking approach to delusions like yours and it is very rare that it is effective. Is there maybe someone else who you trust that you could tell these fears to who might be able to get you some help? I honestly don’t know what else to suggest.
I’ve told that person (who inserts thoughts/controls my thoughts) about my belief. I was just so scared so I had to get an assurance from them. They said “no it’s not possible”.
It got worse.
My belief goes like this…
I told that person that I think like that. Now they have an idea and will try to pursue it, and;
I’m the only the one who has spoken out of my mouth that I think like this. So it will happen.
The world will punish me with that curse because of all the bad things I’ve done.
I fear that if I’m the only who has done these 3 things, then it will happen to me. Just me. The others can still live a happy free life.
None of those 3 things are true. It’s good that you told them. I hope they help you to get some help. You really sound like you need some antipsychotics to get these fears under control.
If you feel like posting updates in this thread, please do, I am on this forum daily and will respond and help if I can. Please remember to click the reply button next to my posts and not the one on the bottom of the thread so I get notifications that you have replied. Good luck. I will talk to you soon maybe.
Did you also tell your family when you were having thoughts that people were controlling your mind?
I ended up telling some of my strange beliefs to my family , yes. They committed me for short hospital stays several times. I ended up trying to escape by leaving town and ended up in a hospital where I told the Doctor there my beliefs and she ended up diagnosing me with schizophrenia. This was just one of my episodes. It took another episode, another attempt to leave town and another hospital stay to get on a antipsychotic that knocked them out of me completely
Thinking that I’ll eventually die calms me down.
Why do I believe that telling the person I suspect that I think they’re inserting thoughts in my head will make it come true? Like telling will make my fear come true? It’s been weeks since I told them and I’ve been struggling since then. I keep wishing I didn’t say anything. I should’ve just dealt with it myself.
I don’t know why you believe that. While in psychosis you have strange thoughts and not all of them make sense.
Keeping it to yourself will only make things worse as they will grow and fester. You are better off telling people. I was under the impression that you just told them, not that you told them weeks ago. If they didn’t get you help maybe you should consider contacting your doctor and getting a referral to a psychiatrist. Either that or consider admitting yourself to a hospital and telling the doctors there what you think. I doubt either of those things sound appealing to you but they may be the only ways that you are going to get treatment that you need. In my opinion you need a psychiatrist and an antipsychotic.
Lucifer inserts violent thoughts in my mind.
Can I ask you a question? I’ve already asked you this earlier but you weren’t specific. Sorry, I know it’s dumb but I need it for reassurance.
Did you specifically tell your family that you thought some people were controlling your mind (this specific kind of psychosis, the one similar to mine)? Sorry I know it’s stupid.
I honestly can’t remember if I specifically told that them that delusion. This was like 6 or even 7 years ago when I first started getting hospitalized. I know I told some of the delusions I had but I don’t remember if I specifically mentioned the mind control stuff. I told them enough about my delusions that they thought it was necessary to hospitalize me though. I had a ton of delusions back then. I remember that I thought the people the were mind controlling were using the terms “Cats and Dogs” to describe the mind controllee’s and I specifically remember bringing that up. It’s just been so long @Fleur2576 , I can’t remember everything I told them. Just being honest. Why does it matter though? Does this have to do with your “3” things?
I did tell the doctor that I talked to that I thought my relatives had been “replaced” though. I specifically remember that. In other words that they had been reprogrammed.
It happened to me.
It were my professors from university that were controlling me. It happened for 7-8 years.
Medications eventually wiped it out.
I think it’s happening because I said it out loud, specifically to the person I suspect.
All of the bad things I’ve done in life added up to making it real, and it’s a punishment.
Does this make sense?
