Thoughts on mind control

Not that I have been experienced mind control lately, but I feel it used to happen, and happens in very specific situations.

I would call it the brain making you do things against your will.

If you have experienced it, how would you describe the feeling, and how you cope with it?

Something like this, being a puppet:

“He told us that he felt controlled by a technical apparatus of the game, manipulating his movements by means of electromagnetics waves which he would he have lived as vibrations throughout his body, pushing him to move, which he perceived as harmful and scary. He described the feeling of being maneuvered from the outside and feeling like a puppet (pawn) in their hands. He said that during the days before his hospitalization, in which he could not sleep, imperative auditory hallucinations appeared that would guide him in his movements and would denigrate, mock him. He said that he followed the orders given to him, to understand what would happen and what the purpose of the game would be.”

I would just take more meds.

i am not getting mind control now, I was just wondering, if other people also experienced things like these. You know, I have been reading about delusions of control and passivity experiences lately. I was wondering if anyone here share these experiences.

Okay. I just never experienced it. Sounds dangerous, if you can’t control your actions.

Well, apparently I read that 20 percent of people with schizophrenia experience these symptoms. So, like 1 in 5, there should be plenty of people here.

The reason I am slightly concerned is that mind control happens during panic attacks (which last for 2 hours now once every 3 weeks). Also, I fear if in future the medications stop working, that is my primary symptom. How will I cope with it?

I don’t know. Maybe talk to your pdoc about it.

Yes, I have 'these thoughts and feelings" too. I cannot really talk about it in a health oriented and recovery oriented fashion…

No such thing as mind control.
