![]() What i want to know is DO OTHERS HEAR OUR THOUGHTS? I wanna stop taking them, i dont believe i need them (only a week now). I may have abilities that i cannot comprehend from taking antipsychotics. I heard both my grandmothers voices who are deceased. Now how would they know that? Also seeing angels flying into my home through the security system. I have been seeing lights & shadows, me as a kid, shadows of someone & vaguely saw i thought they were here & they said it was their shadow. Ive invisioned things to entertain them & they do react as one would that could see it. Before i heard people shouting at me & calling me names, now it seems better. Lately my voices that i like are the ones i hear the most. When i leave, i can hear my dog barking at home to come in & when i get home, he was outside. ![]() I have literally left home & walked miles to get away. Nasty things & telling me to commit suicide.

It started 7 months ago & nesr destroyed my long term relationship.

The patient who is having the experience of thought broadcasting believes that all of this is really happening. He gets very upset, leaves the coffee shop without getting his coffee, and goes home embarrassed, frightened, and discouraged. He is afraid the man in front of him can hear his every thought, and as a result is going to turn around and smack him in the face, and the girl is going to laugh at him. ![]() He is jealous of him, but he also thinks the other man can hear everything he is thinking.

I suffer from dysthymia (with major depressive episodes), GAD, social anxiety, OCD, hypochondria and I'm also autistic. (Although trying 5mg was the WORST so I went from 1mg to 5mg) I never thought Abilify 5mg would be the one.
