I have a feeling that some people are lizards. Is this abnormal?

Can you say a bit more about why you think this.....

Lizardos · 26/01/2014 17:19

This is a year old feeling. One day I woke up hearing some one saying that they are lizards. The feeling went away for a while, but now it is back. These lizards are people who have said something mean to me. My ex cpn is definitely lizard. I am not bonkers but just interested if other people project their feelings like this.

Hi, I think I remember someone posting about folk being lizards before - was that you? Has the thought come back at any point in particular?

Lizardos · 26/01/2014 19:14

yes :) it was me. This time the thoughts slowly crept in. I think the final nail to the coffin was when I saw the conspiracy post in _Chat.

I stay off conspiracies. Have enough of my own at the wrong times. Stressed out of my mind the other week and was sure the station was crawling with undercover police. Or maybe not Grin

With one of the CPNs I used to see, being a lizard would have been a huge improvement on the horrible little rat faced old cow that she was!

I should, too, it seems. Now the feeling is on. Last time lizards stayed with me a month. They turned out pretty mean at the end but I was stronger, and off they went.

I tried to tell my friend via facebook about lizard people. I sent her a picture like this lizard. She thought it was a joke. I mentioned I feel that some people are lizards. She was like "help! Wink"

Well at least they went off for a while. They can't really stay for long in this weather, being cold blooded and all.

Do you meAn you can't get the image out if your head if them as a lizard. Or that the are actually lizards from lizard parents and in human clothing?

Am I making things worse?

Lizardos · 27/01/2014 21:02

I just feel very strongly that they are lizards. They are lizards inside human body. Previously I could imagine them having lizard heads. Mn is good place to discuss about these, because irl people find the idea odd.

Do you actually believe they are lizards or know in the back of your mind it's not true and you're being irrational?

Are you wishing they were lizards? Do you always think they are lizards?

I suppose it's not different from me thinking someone it a teacher or a bitch when they are not, or imagining they are my mum, I guess because a lizard is quite an unusual thing

We all have our delusions

Go to the doctor and tell him what you have told us

Lizardos · 27/01/2014 21:22

I feel that they lizards. It is a very strong feeling. I get bad lizard vibes from mean people. I think you have a point. Maybe lizard is my thing :) and bitch etc others'.

(The whole lizard saga started one morning when I woke up to a voice telling me that they are lizards. I might have dreamt it. This was a year ago)

I think the only questions are - Does it bother you that you think people are lizards? Is it stopping you from getting on with your life? Is it making you worried or anxious?

If the answer to all of these is no and the feeling has come and gone before, then its not too much to worry about.

Speak to your Dr if you're concerned though.

Lizardos · 28/01/2014 06:35

The answers are yes and no. Just wondering if the word lizard makes things sound so odd. If I were to replace it by arsehole everything would sound normal.

I did talk previously to cpn but by the time I saw doctor, lizards were gone.

Anyway, looking for others with lizard thoughts.

It does sound a bit like there is a tiny bit if cross wiring going on?

Is it distressing you?

Are they lizards today??

Lizardos · 28/01/2014 14:13

I still feel that certain people are lizards. I don't think that they are lizards, I just feel it with my body. In the same way you feel it is cold and then you think it is cold. These feelings do not distress me too much at the moment.
