Did you tell someone or your family about this belief? I just wish I’m not the only one who has told.
Nope, I may have said other things, but not this specifically.
It was so real-- it was unbelievable. I was under control all the time.
The reason I didn’t tell my family about it is because I was protecting them. If I was being controlled, and my family knew too much, then they could be controlled too and would get in trouble.
It is good that you have told your family about it. Now you will get treatment which is a long, long journey.
I understand what your saying but it doesn’t make logical sense, no.
There are lots of people with psychosis in the world, I am quite sure that you are not the first person to tell family members about your mind control beliefs.
It’s not good. The “person” I suspect to be inserting thoughts/controlling my mind is part of my family.
I told that specific person because I wanted to get reassurance.
But then, as you’ve read in the replies, I’m currently thinking it is happening because…
- I’ve given an idea, they may try to pursue it.
- I’m the only one who has spoken it out loud to the person I specifically suspect.
- I’ve done a lot of bad things in life and now this is my punishment.
Even with all the bad things I’ve done?

But, how is it possible that that person can control you?
I mean he must also have the capability to do it. How can he get inside your mind?
I thought my professors approached the CIA regarding me, and they were doing it with the CIA. So, I couldn’t rationalize I was deluded.
I have no idea what “bad things” you have done, but regardless of what you have done, it’s not going to have an impact on whether or not you are “punished” and mind controlled. Mind control is not real. Even with wires and electronics and stuff hooked up to you the technology does not exist yet and I don’t know if it ever will. It just isn’t real.
To me, the world granted them that power. I don’t believe in a god or anything supernatural. But I do believe there is some powerful force out there, almost like a god but not specifically a being.
Thank you. I’m trying to look at these things in a logical sense, but my mind is too hazy or cloudy.

Ok. If a special force granted your family member the power, why would they grant power to your family member? And, why would your family member control you?
You have what are called in psychiatry as ‘delusions’. It means it is a false belief. A false belief is something that runs contrary to all the available evidence.
I’m not on good terms with that family member. I’m afraid of them and think they’re controlling and possessive.
My desire is to get away from that person.
But if they have access to my mind - to control, to insert thoughts - then it’s the same as living with them. Only closer and for eternity now.
My fear of them has gotten worse than before.
Nobody can share your mind I promise you. However, schizophrenia is a well known mental disorder and it is known that this is a symptom. Patients can start internalising logic. I wish you well and please don’t worry because it is a delusion.

Even with this? Is it still a delusion?
Hi. Can I talk to you again?
I’m gonna be completely honest now.
You see, I’m not on good terms with a family member (parent) because they’re controlling and possessive. My greatest desire is to get away from that person. I’m afraid of them and it’s gotten worse.
That’s why I’m afraid that telling that family member that I suspect them of inserting thoughts/controlling my mind will make it come true because “I’ve given them an idea to further control and possess me”. And now they’ll pursue it until they achieve it.

Hi. I’m online now. I understand that you are not on good terms with that person but it is not possible for them to “possess” you. Do you live with this person? I’m not sure what advice to give you that I have not already given.
Yes, thank you for replying.
I live with this person. They’re a family member.
Honestly, it’s not just thought insertion and mind-control. Also mind-reading.
I believe this person that I’m afraid of to have the ability to “insert thoughts”, “mind-control”, and “mind-read”. All three.
Can a human do these 3 things (thought insertion, mind-controlling, mind-reading)?
No they can’t. They can do none of those 3 things. It’s just your mind playing tricks on you. I used to believe in these sort of things too when I was psychotic but they are just not possible.
Won’t these 3 things (thought insertion, mind-controlling, mind-reading) happen because…
- I’ve given that person those ideas (3 things) because I told them. They might try to pursue it until they achieve it.
- I’ve done a lot of bad things in life and this is my punishment.
No, they won’t happen because those 3 things are not possible. I will grant you that there are devices nowadays that can sort of “read your mind” but you have to be wearing these devices to do that. There is no technology that I know of that can insert thoughts or mind control you even with devices attached.
This technology you are thinking that you are a victim of does not exist.
