i can’t think free thoughts anymore because someone in my class can read my mind. i know who it is and i want to talk to them about it, i want to tell them to stop it and to get out of my head, to stop talking in there cause it’s not funny and it’s distracting me, but i know i’m gonna sound crazy. i don’t feel this any other time but math class. and they’ve identified themselves, i went to them for some stuff i missed and they were too nice and i think they put something in my head through my eyes when they looked at me. it shoots brain waves through my head when they’re near to say the stuff they want to in my head. i know it’s not true but i can’t get rid of it.

      So in a certain state of mind, I would be more likely to believe this kind of thing to be true. But I've been on meds and I'm feeling okay today and in good condition, and I'm gonna tell you this literally impossible and there's no way that this is true. Like others are saying, it's a very common delusion. I would say try not to "engage" with it and distract or ignore yourself from it, and maybe talk it through with your therapist. Also CBT worksheets can be really helpful to do on your own bc if you do them enough they help you challenge that... but if you're in a heightened state of emotion, maybe try to just withdraw and relax and rest until things calm down. Showers and naps can be amazing

      It’s a delusion. It’s very common, too. This kinda sounds mean but it has helped me with things like this like, I am not the center of the world. Why would they want to do that to me. They’re not going to accomplish anything. Plus either way talking to them about it won’t change anything. Could even make the experience worse. Talk to your doctor

        @Or i have thought of something like that, i thought “what would they benefit from creeping on my thoughts?” “they couldn’t tell anyone because they’d reveal themselves” i’ll certainly use that to ground myself and talk to my psych about it next visit
