When I started thinking like that, and even now when I begin to start think that way again, I need to tell my pdoc while I still have some sort of grasp that the beliefs are not reality. If I allow it to go too far, I'm no longer able to tell him. Even telling your pdoc, while explaining these beliefs, that they are included in the "threat" would help them to understand. There are things that can help, but it does require a level of trust or even just surrender to the doctors.
When my brain starts to do those things to me, I have to look at the people around me, and fact check. If what I think is happening were really happening, wouldn't others be reacting to it as well? If everyone were truly trying to sabotage certain things, wouldn't there be signs that I could see outside of my own thoughts to back up those beliefs?
I know how hard it is, to go against the beliefs, and tell someone irl what is going on inside your brain. I have been there, but now, with the right med combo, those times are few and far between. Now, it really only happens when I get extremely stressed, and once the stress dissipates, so do the thoughts.
Please consider talking to your doctor or your T.

I don't know. Even if I can get passed this problem of not trusting them, I still don't trust me. Why would I go to them about fake problems? Sure, these feelings are powerful, the thoughts are loud and the voices are overbearing; the fact remains that they're simply manifestations of my own self-deceit. I created these problems out of thin air so I should be able to subdue them and return back to reality, right? The truth is, I don't know if I'll recognize reality when/if I see it. I'm starting to believe that there is no such thing and everything is a lie.
I will try fact-checking. I think that it could help with some of these thoughts swirling around inside my skull.
Thank you for your advice.
