i am not sure whether my family is part of the plot, being actors too, or they are starring with me in this Truman show.
- Yes, i had Truman show experience sometime in the past
- No, I never had it

Yes, i will.
But lately he doesn’t pay attention
When I’m there, he is watching tv,
a small tv he has in his office, and
listens to what I’m saying as sz things- crazy things.
Via phone he hears me more carefully

I didn’t even find the Truman Show movie to be all that great TBH.

It’s not a good movie.
Only the main concept behind it,
is valuable as a triggering hypothesis.
Totally inappropriate for schizophrenics, though

I get that. I had to avoid the X-Files for many years because of how triggering it used to be for me.I’d be watching the show and going RIGHT RIGHT?

I can’t watch The Truman Show or A Beautiful Mind, it triggers my symptoms so much making me second guess things I can’t get through it.

Ive often thought that the world looks like a movie set. Landscaped areas and straight passages like hallways are the places that most make me feel this way. I dont think that it’s caused by the truman show though, i think i would have had this if i hadnt ever seen that movie.

I had the experience of the entire world being “in on the joke”. The people on tv, the police, the girl sitting beside me in the cafe, even some of my friends. Oh, and of course the voices in my head. At the time, I was convinced that the government had hacked my mind via satellite, and had assigned these two fools in my head the task of driving me insane
It took me about a year and a half to Grapple with the idea that this was an illness, and not reality. Fast forward a few years, and here I am with total insight.
Does this Truman Show affect come and go, or is it constant? Hang in there

In my case, books and tv say what is happening in my life at that moment. It is crazy.
It reinforces the truman

The production wouldn’t find actors
who would be so affectionate towards me.
So the Truman show is about a schizophrenic and his family
But sometimes even my close people seem weird
Another Trumanshow like movie is “The Game” with Michael Douglas.
The Trumanshow experience for me has basically been that I have been extremely self-orientated in communcation with others. It’s like every action people do has something to do with me. The notion that people have lives of their own has disappeared.
Now that I am stable I see the world like it is. Everybody has their own show to run

I’m kind of past that now. Every once in a while someone will say something that triggers me, but I spend a lot of my time in reality. It just sucks getting triggered because i haven’t built the necessary coping skills yet
