It's difficult to explain, but I have caused people a lot of suffering and loss of life through my thoughts, images I've got in my head, and not acting on things that could save them.
I'm currently working on writing a novel. I cant continue to even think about it because I know that somewhere there are people living similar lives to my characters. If i do something that distresses or kills one of my characters then I know someone in real life will die.
There are links between my thoughts and incidents that happen locally or are reported on the news. I am always seeing risks amd if I don't remove them and someone gets hurt, I am responsible for that.
When i cross a road, I get feelings that the cars I've stopped at the crossing as going to be in accidents and people will die because of me.
I get a sense when bad things have happened to others and I am to blame in one way or another.
I know I'm harming people and I really can't cope with this.
