Delusional thinking and the internet

On schizophrenia.com, Sandy wrote: Before taking medication, I had delusions regarding mind-control. I thought there were sattellites set up by the US government constantly tracking my thoughts and actions. I thought millions of people around the globe wore secret earpieces allowing them to listen in to my thoughts. I found sattelite conspiracy websites online to "backup" my odd beliefs. I had actually started questoning my delusional beliefs to see if they were really real. I thought these websites confirmed my delusions. "Obviously", because there were other people like me out there. After taking my medication I realised I how illogical these beliefs were. I still think these websites definitely had a negative impact on me. They confirmed my delusions..I stopped questioning my sanity and my delusional beliefs became worse. This support site I am on is quoting the news articles that have come out that suggest sites like this one, peacepink, are reinforcing mental illness and actually even CAUSING mental illness. Responses to this, anyone?

  • oh, reached this website, I imagine you know of it, great, scientific, rigorously serious and activist! I finally found where it's at : dozens of fascinating, clear articles to read :

    http://www.mindjustice.org/index.htm#1

  • I agree, their (CIA?FBI?military?) program is not THAT terrific, actually what most worries me is the physical harm those weapons can do, and that which I find the most intolerable (as torture goes) the relentlessness, unbroken permanence of the attacks (yes, only a computer). No, it's not ALL that encompassing. It's trying alright!

  • Yes, I know computer programs would name the game, but what are you left with, empty voices that don't amount to anything, computer targeting that has its limits with actual capturing, what can you do?  they are not that great, ok?  They are not that all encompassing.  They really aren't.

  • yeah, that's an "interesting" perspective.
    i wonder what others think? i know what Don Rumsfeld WISHES PEOPLE TO BELIEVE
    about the United States "Shadow Government" -- and i know that

    ...people who suspect the deepest truth about the United States Shadow Government
    imagining themselves insane because they intuited the truth beyond the propaganda ---

    hey that would be a great way of protecting secrets. "anyone who disagrees with us is probably insane."
    fantastic argument -- for totalitarians pretending to be defenders of freedom.
  • Scott, do you think the popping you are hearing is V2K, and not something actually hitting your roof? I say this because I've heard of others who mention popping sounds, clicks, clangs, all kinds of weird sounds from their appliances and in the walls and roofs. Anyway, its driving you crazy, so, I'm sorry to hear that. I just want to encourage you to stay there if you can, dont let them drive you out, its not gonna be any better anywhere else.
  • Yeah I agree, the psychiatrists may have their own links into the general scheme of targeting humans, and they certainly perpetuate the idea of covering up the crime through illness...but what I'm saying is that schizophrenia.com, the moderators there, and most other places for mental illness tell these people that come here talking about being attacked and gang stalked that they are delusional and should stop reading these websites, like ours here, peacepink., and the reason that they say this, is because they've read the articles in the N.Y> Times and Washington Post that have called us the Dark Side of the Online Community, and that we are causing mental illness in others. I try explaining to these people that the media, of all people, should not be trusted, and that they just want it both ways, to be objective, AND to tune into us and have the inside knowledge, they are all about double standards, their jobs are obselete while this crime keeps going. I'm not there to push the envelope with these other ill people, but I do fight back a little bit, they tend to know where I'm coming from. Lately, I've been letting my poetry do all the talking, getting revenge that way, on my blog.
