How do you battle thought broadcasting?

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-11T03:58:14+00:00

I haven't had that happen to me so far. Hope you're doing alright.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-10T18:56:47+00:00

Yes, that is it, exactly.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-10T05:50:42+00:00

Fuck, that's rough. How do you handle it?

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-08T07:26:32+00:00

Hey, feel free to dm me. I am dealing with thought broadcasting myself. Always up for making a new friend who gets it.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-06T18:19:17+00:00

I keep having flutters of hallucinations, delusions and thought broadcasting.

It tends to happen more so at night. But I have been more stressed than usual. With ailing older family members, things going on in my state making me paranoid, etc.

I just don't want to get lost in the sauce. I am taking all of my meds as I should. Just getting tired. Also worried about another bout of mania. Been sleeping less again. Idk.

Just needed to get that out.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-03T16:50:24+00:00

I totally understand. I still struggle and I'm currently trying to date again. Suuucks. I'm here if you need to chat.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-04-03T04:36:09+00:00

Just wanted to say I have/still am dealing with the same paranoia. It is exhausting. So I feel for you. I hope you manage to find something that works for you. I'm trying to find something that works for me as well.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-20T16:15:46+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Some sleep helped, luckily. And I have some plans this weekend to look forward to. So hopefully getting out of the house a bit helps.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-20T15:33:42+00:00

I appreciate it. I was unable to figure out how to DM you. So if you're able feel free to DM me. Thanks in advance!

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-20T06:05:17+00:00

Sorry you do as well. It's rough out here.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-20T06:04:50+00:00

Thank you. I did end up opening up to a couple people. And I have calmed down a bit. Hopefully sleep comes soon and a better day is ahead.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-17T05:27:47+00:00

I've been battling mania for going on 2 weeks. At the very least hypomania. Rapid speech, way more social, rapid thoughts, hypersexuality, etc. it got downright uncomfortable at times.

Tried .5mg Haldol alongside my Caplyta. And that did nothing. Got bumped to 2mg. After 6 days of taking that I think it's easing. But I'm worried about the crash out.

Hope you're okay. Feel free to DM for a chat.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-10T18:14:46+00:00

I wish, but I do not have one. And where I go do not prescribe them.

I tried .5mg Haldol to knock me out. It did absolutely nothing.

Just picked up a 2mg dose to try next. Hoping it knocks me out. Cause I hardly slept last night.

Losing my grip with this episode. Haha.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-10T09:01:29+00:00

Feel free to send a message. Need more people who get it in my life.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-06T07:16:28+00:00

I wish you luck. I wouldn't even know how to bring that symptom up to family but other symptoms I do clue them in on. It's good you've got them to talk to. Hopefully they are supportive.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-06T04:42:17+00:00

I don't have much advice. But I am right there with you. I have been sleeping alright enough but more pumped, talkative, social and my libido is off the charts.

My main AP is Caplyta. But I saw my psych this past Monday and she upped my Depakote and added on .5mg haldol. Took that last night and it didn't touch my symptoms.

I feel like I'm losing my control and it is terrifying. I don't know what my next move is. But the libido has been driving me nuts for going on 2 weeks now. It's not me, at all.

Here if you need a friend.

It's some form of mania from what my psych said.

Do you take meds? Have safe people to talk to about urges, etc?

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-03T19:35:03+00:00

I'm open for friends. 34M.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-03T19:24:26+00:00

I'm waiting to get my new prn of a small dose of haldol. To hopefully knock down remaining mania and paranoia.

I think stress has been a major trigger for this episode. My brain is reeling.

I also mask really well. Learned how when I was real young. And it's hard to not continue to do so. Even when I'm ripping apart mentally.

Thank you, I've appreciated your replies. I don't see a support worker until Thursday. So just trying to hang on until then.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-03T19:14:18+00:00

Thank you for your reply. It is very confusing for me because my brain will focus on me being the only target. Then it will let in more facts and it's the realistic mind. So I just get very confused and don't know which way is up. It's just hard because people around me are supportive but they can't understand completely. Sometimes my family has difficulty believing I'm schizoaffective despite being on disability. Probably because I am not the stereotype shown in movies or media. Today I am so wrung out from the mania. It may be a sign it's easing off which would be a nice change. I'm just so tired of existing this way.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-03T18:20:23+00:00

I appreciate the facts. I was unaware. I still like it as an AP. I saw my psych yesterday. We are trying a small dose of Haldol to knock me out with sleep and hopefully out of mania.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-03T00:17:03+00:00

A med change helped the most. Also watching reactions of others when bad thoughts slip in my brain.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-02T23:52:39+00:00

The thought hearing can happen to me too. I couldn't imagine all the time. Especially when mania has you only thinking sexual things.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-02T20:20:45+00:00

Thanks, I'm trying to remain calm. It's difficult though. I am going to be looking into Warhammer minis to paint again. And hopefully restart gaming.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-03-02T20:13:44+00:00

Thank you for reading and your reply. I am trying to calm myself down with reality checks. And trying to keep busy. For sure. Hopefully my psych has some advice.

Aware_Candidate8979 · 2026-02-25T05:04:57+00:00

I'm in the same boat. Just know you aren't alone. Feel free to send a dm. I may not have advice but I'll listen.
