what does this mean?

what does it mean when youve had an irrational feeling that your thoughts are always being heard or read? since the time you can remember its always been there, constant with no relief? it doesnt have a voice or a persona at all, its just a paranoia that your thoughts are being read or heard. Alongside this, you have very low self esteem, despite all youve accomplished and expressed a feeling of being lost. What does this all mean?

Lost, I'm not a therapist, just a former (general) nurse and now a voluntary worker in the mental health sector. Do you want to tell me how old you are?

21, why? does it matter?

Hi, Lost, well, it could many a couple things. First you should get a blood test because if your blood test shows that some levels are low in your system that could account for your thought process. Secondly, it COULD me Schitzophrenia, which I WAS previously YEARS ago in my 20's diagnosed as BEFORE Mulitple Personality Disorder was even consider or acknowledged. But having Schitzophrenia is MORE acceptable than Mulitple Personality Disorder, so you have THAT on YOUR side. Thirdly, I would contact Dr. Dan Feaster a Psycotherapist and a great counselor who works with many disorders at Samaritan Counseling Center in Southern Wi. org in Monona Wi on Monona Dr at the Water Tower Place; at 608.663.0763 EXT 200 and talk to him. He CAN help you along with referring you to Dr. Ron Johnson a Psycologist, he is also great and Dr. Johnson could test you to see what is going on and why. I can be supportive. It would be important to first see if this IS stemming from a medical source inside your body, because some medical findings CAN cause some unbalance in your thinking and maybe correcting the medical might solve your thinking process. Start with these things along with calling St. John's Lutheran Church in Oregon, Wi on Netherwoods Rd at 608.835.3154 and as for Pastor Paul Marquart, this is for spiritual help which in any situation, seeking strength and guidance spiritual from God/Jesus is ALWAYS good because the body, mind and spirit ALL work together you really cannot separate any of them, each connect with the other, it's just the way humans are created. You have to take all three together to be a whole person
