Sometimes I find that what I hear on the radio or TV feels like my own thoughts.
More often than not I am beginning to feel that many things have some special meaning in my life,
while actually they have nothing to do with me. I know that these thoughts are not true.
(For example, I may feel that when people laugh, they are laughing at me, and at the very next
moment I will also know that this rubbish.)
Sometimes, when a person is talking, their voice sounds strange to me – hollow or like there is
someone else talking at the same time. I don’t know what’s going on.
For a while now time seems to be moving faster (or slower) for me.
I sometimes experience some disturbances of my sight/ hearing/ smell / taste for which I can find
no physical cause, e.g. changing of colours, shapes, the way things look, distances, ‘echoes’
of the things I see or hear. Sometimes there are also changes in the intensity of what I see, hear,
taste or smell.
I am experiencing new ideas or thoughts that are having an effect on my behaviour (e.g. sometimes I
think that I can see into the future/ I am a lot more superstitious/ I can ’hear’ others’ thoughts/I
am developing a “sixth sense“/I really believe that I can save the world.
