Over the past 6 months, shortly after this started happening, I started randomly experiencing a strong metallic taste (almost like blood) in my mouth. It would come and last for 2-3 minutes then disappear.
One of the times this happened, one of my “mental health voices” told me that it was from poison in the food. I knew that to not be true, so I did not let it affect me and did not tell anybody.
This has happened on and off a few times a week. Today, for the first time, I found out that plugging my ears cuts off the metallic taste almost instantly. It goes away and immediately comes back when I unplug ears.
How advanced have these mental illnesses have gotten? Part of me somewhere deep down, hidden and locked away, I still feel like electricity is causing all of this. But what do I know?
