I have bizzare talk that goes on in my head everyday sometimes its worse than others days. So i was wondering if this particlar thing would be worth mentioning to my t. As many of you know told me last week she thought I had DID. So last night I am laying down. I wasnt asleep or even near sleep. Just random normal thoughts going through my head and all of the sudden I said in my head oh look its my buddy little shroomy. I did not see "little shroomy". I have no clue about that name. Would this be worth mentioning to T? Do you guys have this problem?

The mind is a weird organ. One of it's main jobs is to be a though creating machine...

I have all kinds of random and intrusive thoughts.

I have thoughts like this too when I'm trying to sleep. a lot of them don't make sense

when I wake up I hear a voice reading made up news articles to me

I've gotten used to it I guess. realizing its not real and it doesn't have any hidden meaning helped

I would mention it. Is it just hearing voices or do you think it's flashbacks/memories? Sometimes memories can just be one sense, like even just a smell. I've had auditory flashbacks where I just hear something-- more commonly, I see something but no sound, like a feather floating past my vision, or a photograph being flipped past me.
Thanks for this!

I sometimes get that way as I'm waking up. I can't tell the difference between my dreams and reality for a minute or two.

I would bring it up with the therapist. It's worth exploring. And it does not mean you have DID.
Thanks for this!

I dont think its either. I have a sleep disorder that I can absolutely tell when I am awake or asleep. Its just random thoughts that pop in my mind. It happens to me during the day as well. This is just the first time I actually mentioned a name. Whoever little shroomy is.

You seem to run with stereotypical symptoms of huge mental health events.
Almost like you've read about them then post about them.
Maybe talk any that angle with a T.

I think you mean a sleep disorder where you "can't" tell the difference between awake and asleep?

In many posts, you have mentioned the thoughts that you find troubling for their content. Perhaps these thoughts-- which is all they are-- fit into that category. They are just thoughts, which, like feelings, are just present in our internal world, sometimes they have important meaning, sometimes they don't. sometimes they give us clues or other information, sometimes they just don't. When I worked at a place where I was unhappy, I used to have thoughts about setting people's office doors on fire. The thoughts weren't particularly homicidal and I've not hurt any living creature deliberately and I didn't "want" to do it (and didn't!) in the non-fantasy sense. Yeah, I was a little pissed off, some of it legitimately for mis treatment and some of it more for ego bruising and/or past betrayals. I don't know too many people who haven't had thoughts and feelings that are not in line with what they might actually do or even how they really (constructively) feel and respond to the world.

But whether they are "just" thoughts or might be something important that's going on with you, never a problem to discuss with your T to try to figure this out. So the standard advice on this board would be to bring it up, see where it goes.
Thanks for this!

Thanks, no I might can tell the difference. I never feel sleepy. I have to be medicated to sleep. So I know when I am awake or not.

I dont think anyone is trying to accuse you of lying. its just that we have been following your posts. in them you jump from thinking you have this mental disorder or that one, ask questions about that disorder and then a bit later you tell us your therapist has diagnosed you with that at some point then you tell us that you dont believe what the therapist is telling you, that you read about the problem and you dont believe you fit it, then you move on to another disorder or problem and do the same thing again where you jump in to wondering if you have this or that disorder, ask question, therapist tells you, you have it then you dont believe it then confess you have read about it....

no one here is saying you are lying. just that there is a well known problem that happens with some people where when they read or hear about a problem their mind somehow incorporates what they are reading or hearing about as their own.

kind of like when I was pregnant a friend of mine started having pregnancy symptoms. she was not pregnant and she wasnt faking it. her mind was making her body have whats called sympathy symptoms.

for some reason that you may not know yet your mind may be causing you to do this with out realizing it too, only with mental disorders.

my suggestion is to talk with your treatment providers they will explain to you why you are having these strange thoughts at bed time...

on the not knowing what little shroomy is.... its a slang term that drug addicts use when they are talking about magic mushrooms.

if you have ever done drugs or know someone who does drugs and uses magic mushrooms then thats where your mind has heard that sentence at one time or another whether you were consciously aware of hearing or knowing about magic mushrooms. tip maybe you can go back through your past posts and see if there are any past posts that talk about drugs, weed and magic mushrooms/ shrooms.

if you live in a location that has legalized marijuana then you have also been exposed to commercials and information about various drugs including "shrooms" "magic mushrooms" because many of these places are also trying to get them legalized.

there is also an adult comic book and cartoon that contains a character called "lttle shroomy" that gets seen and talked about...

my point it is very common and possible to hear and know about this just simply if you watch tv or internet tv or internet videos and video clips, "little Shroomy" even appears in facebook memes.

my suggestion is if you continue to have what you call strange thoughts contact your treatment providers they will be able to help you with this.
Thanks for this!
