Well I guess this was a bad idea. I do not know what to do. I think it is seriously ridiculous that I have to run out of my apartment to the ER because of a strange headache.
I know what I am experiencing is not psychological and nobody is going to believe me, but I think it is seriously screwed up.

I have to agree that this is unusual and I probably would be reacting the way you guys are reacting. I guess you have to experience this to believe it.

Well, I guess you can listen to us and maybe it will help, or you can ignore us, and... nothing changes for you, really. So, good luck with that.
Personally, considering the possibility of it being psychological sounds a lot more appealing to me than repeatedly going to the ER for a strange headache. Going to the ER is a full bag of suck.

It wasn't a bad idea, no harm has come to you because of posting it. It sounds like going to the ER hasn't achieved anything, so maybe going to the ER is ridiculous. I know you think it isn't psychological, but how would you really know it's not? It's OK to feel that it is screwed up, much of life is. Quite honestly, this thread reminds me of "gang stalking" which is very real to those who experience it, not so much to everyone else.

Look, we all have all some kind of unique mental issues, every single one of us. I am genuinely curious why you are so deadset against this being mental?

Really, the callousness of some people is absolutely disgusting. Wasn't just not too old news that US ambassadors in Cuba got mystery ailments and had to be called back?

I'm willing to consider a strange external physical cause for your case.

You will have to somehow make a shield for yourself if this is potential radiation or attack. Wearing lead armor in the middle of NYC is not practical though.

The first thing is to see if your symptoms come with you in a less....population dense area.

Do you have any way of making time to get out of NYC and check into some motel or take up temporary residence in an area that is relatively remote and distant?

This is embarrassing and I have been experiencing this for years and I have decided to post here because I do not know what else to do. I do not believe in ghost.

You didn't mention if you experience this if you sleep somewhere else. Do you? If you haven't slept anywhere else, I would consider looking into a sleep study where you can be monitored during your sleep for anything going on.

My mom is currently going through similar issues, in that she is experiencing parts of a reality that simply don't exist for anyone else. She refused to talk to medical professionals about her experience and thus remains untreated. This creates stress for her because she can't talk to anyone about what she experiences because no one understands what she experiences. This frustrates her and makes her feel lonely. I can't convince her to talk to anyone because she doesn't believe she has an issue.

I will tell you this. Let's all agree, you don't have an issue with your mind or your perception. But let's also agree that there is no harm in talking to a professional about your experience. So how about you go and talk to a Psychiatrist? Just to rule everything out.

My experience tells me you will refuse. I found that anything that challenges my mother's reality causes her to push back very hard. So regardless of how logical it would be to work through the various medical options, anything coming close to Psychiatrist (she already has a neurological doctor for passing out in the past)

Going through this experience, has me writing a note that I gave to my family that if they read to me I will agree to do whatever they say, should I develop a problem.

I took it seriously and gave it serious thought initially, but it became obvious fast that this poster is looking for some type of confirmation bias, and not other ideas or thoughts.

Nothing to do with callousness...should you continue entertaining someone that is unwilling to consider any of the suggested theories? Feel free, but I won't.

IMO the attitude is exactly why mental health is such a stigma in our society...nobody wants to admit it or talk about it. They refuse the notion as if it's bubonic plague.

If someone is asserting some physical cause, let him do something to physically remedy it. He can physically remove himself from his current environment for just a week or even a day or if he insists on a physical cause, then he can go buy some lead sheets and other shielding material, hang them around his room, and call it a day. Perhaps the wallop on his pocketbook would then prompt him to realize it's mental, assuming that he's still feeling symptoms after doing the such things. If his alleged symptoms disappear after a physical action, either the external cause actually was there, or the shielding items caused a placebo effect.

He very well could be trolling but the way to shut up a troll is to either not talk or end his talking point. He's insisting on something physical, so only solutions that deal with physical will end the discussion(or just going silent).

This is a very good point. Let the OP create for themselves a faraday cage or other type of barrier that would scientifically remove any opportunity to use a radiative source to create pain. Let them get an MRI and Xray to make sure nothing is implanted in them. At the end of the day if the OP continues to believe themselves under attack, then by simple elimination we know it is psychiatric or neurological.

I guess?

It's a good point if you want to humor fantasies, but it isn't based in reality. The reply about aliens probing them was as valid as this imho.

No clue what causes it. Insistent it isn't psychological. Shrugs off Neuropathic after seeing a single doctor for it. Insists it is some mystery "technology" that someone is using to "make me crazy" AKA paranoia.

What would you build a faraday cage to guard/protect against? Some new ruskie or cuban tech that they are only testing on this fool for the past 15 years? Gimme a break.

@Pohemi420 Why would I post this if I did not think it was worth posting to see if someone else is experiencing something similar.
A few DID admit to similar experiences, including myself, but no no no it can't be neuropathic, so...

People do all sorts of dumb shit online every day. I have no idea your possible motivations. I just see you aren't actually interested in a two-way discussion. You are looking for someone to agree with you that someone with magical tech is messing with ONLY you. It's pretty special.

What's screwed up is that it has been happening for years. I have been to the doctors and therapist. It's not mental illness. My hypothesis is it is covert torture and I strongly believe it is seriously screwed up.

You repeatedly mention "research" and "theories" and "hypothesis". Using science-based words doesn't make it more truthy.
I do not believe that any of it is based in reality or factual evidence besides "what you think/feel".
Still demanding "it's not mental, it's real!!"
But the thing is...you are not a medical expert of any type. Seeing a doctor once upon a time does not logically rule out an issue that they may have missed. The fact that it's gone on for years means nothing in relation to it being a medical issue.
Your statements in this thread are enough in my opinion to know you are not thinking clearly or logically about the issue, if it is even actually happening.

This is like a cry out for help. It's obvious I am getting tortured when you are walking around Manhattan and you get a shock in your rear.
There is nothing I could say to convince you and I have to agree, and you would like to think, it is highly unlikely this is happening to other people.
I am embarrassed that I had to post this message because I knew that people would automatically say it is in my head.

Nothing is "obvious" or you would know and have factual evidence of what you are claiming.

You are making wild assumptions. You know absolutely nothing about what is causing it, but continue making fantastical claims about what it "must be" according to your delusions, and stating your "hypothesis" as fact with absolutely no evidence.

There is nothing I could say to convince you and I have to agree, and you would like to think, it is highly unlikely this is happening to other people.
I am embarrassed that I had to post this message because I knew that people would automatically say it is in my head.
And yet you posted anyway? So you do have some realization of how this sounds to an outside, objective observer...and yet you still kneejerk and shout about "IT'S NOT MENTAL!!" Okay then.

So it's a troll, I guess. Good one, you caught me. Toodles.

@Pohemi420 - I do not understand you. I am letting you guys know that I feel something and you are telling me that it is in my head. That makes no sense. If someone hits you you are going to feel it.

the body has nerve endings all over it, nerves are simply electrical wires from all over your body, back to your brain. If there is a short circuit, or the nerve is folded, or its damaged, then it can send an incorrect electrical signal, or your brain itself can have incorrect electrical signals.

Just because you feel it doesn't mean something physical is actually happening to you.

She/He just wants to ignore other ideas based on actual medical issues, since they aren't finding anyone to flat out agree that that they are not crazy and someone is "torturing them from afar" or some nonsense.

Oh, so when it rains you don't feel the rain drops? C'mon! Where do you guys come from?
Apples and oranges. Raindrops physically exist on this plane of existence. They can be quantified. Your opinions based on fantasy cannot.

The more you reply or explain, the more irrational you sound. Trolling or crazy, both of which you vehemently deny. It's just funny to see you try to sound rational in your discussion when your data points are completely irrational.

Stop telling others they make no sense when you have no self-awareness or application of logic.

Really. You know what I am experiencing or have experienced? You are quickly chalking this up as a delusion when you do not know anything about me.

How can a stranger over the internet give you an answer that will satisfy you? I could tell you I'm Bigfoot, and if you don't believe me, we're at the exact same situation. Nobody (that you should believe/trust) over the internet can tell you any different.

We have users here who claim to talk to Jesus about moped brake pads and toilets, a user who thinks his roomate (his brother) lock onto his wifi signal to take control of his computer (and install secret chips on his motherboard), a user who thinks his brain is being attacked by secret government agents, and multiple users who claim to be gang stalked. Should we believe their claims as well?
