For a while I wanted this watch but it was too expensive for me. I felt that the ceo of the company is mad at me for not buying them because it’s good advertisement (I suffer from the Truman Show delusion)
I’m scared.

Any support is appreciated. I need to talk about this because it makes me feel better
How would the CEO know you didnt buy it?
I think there’s a microchip in my head that broadcasts my thoughts to the internet.
How would you get a microchip in your head?
My delusions tell me someone knocked my out in my sleep and implanted it.
I think that’s really unlikely. I don’t know why anyone would do that
I used to have these thoughts, thinking people did stuff to me when I was asleep. They’re just paranoia. Implants like that aren’t real, you can’t broadcast your thoughts.
Are you on medicine? The medicine I take helped get rid of these thoughts for me. I take Zyprexa.
I’m on clozapine which has done wonders for me, though I still get occasional psychosis.
I tried tons of meds and none of them worked besides clozapine.

I suffer from the same delusions but the thought broadcasting is more under control now. …
Man…I feel you because I have felt bad for not buying something or not liking a product…I feared retaliation because it might hurt that company…
Those delusions really suck but they do calm down some man. Hope your feeling better soon. Real talk … I understand
Just remember the world isn’t that cruel…even if some people would be not everyone would be onboard with something Soo inhumane.

Oh sorry to hear that. I had to try like 5 different medicines that didn’t work before I landed on Zyprexa.
Begs the question: what’s a normal delusion?

You mean Ralph, the overweight, unemployed plumber in apartment #2?

Truman show delusion is a combo of grandiose and persecutory types.
Grandiosity because, well, you’re at the center of attention. Persecutory because you no longer enjoy privacy of thoughts and deeds.
I also believed I had a microchip implanted, and other ridiculous stuff. I was able to dismiss this delusion, hopefully forever. I couldn’t do it without the help of APs. Some people get stuck and never completely recover from it though. I wish I had a solution, but I don’t.
I also have Truman Show Delusion. In my case, I thought that cameras were in my eyes, microphones were in my ears and equipment was in my brain. My delusions have lessened over the years, but I still have residual thoughts of being special and persecuted at the same time. I no longer think there is equipment in my eyes, ears and brain but I do think the universe talks to me. I am on AP’s but still crazy.
I’m similar. I have a delusion of a microchip in my brain sending my thoughts to the internet. It really is unpleasant.

I am so sorry you are dealing with that. I know my delusions have caused me great anxiety. With the Satellite being able to see and hear, even through ceilings and walls, everywhere I go, there is no need for cameras, microphone’s or anything. It is very invasive and impossible to escape. I feel your pain.
It’s all delusions and schizophrenia.
I’ve had delusions like that, but can’t remember them. One used to be; pictures of people looking at you. If you did something they didn’t like, they weren’t looking directly at you, anymore.
