Am I unwell?

Unusual Beliefs
1

Just recently, I’ve become deeply interested in ancient religions vs current religions. I’m reading tons about them.

I don’t think I’m a Prophetess and I don’t think I have special powers or messages.

But I am considering changing my religious beliefs based on what I’m learning.

Not everyone who believes in a higher power or higher powers plural is unwell.

How do I know if I’m ok or not?

You are not okay.

Your symptoms are worse,

You are in physical pain,

And I suspect you are in an abusive relationship.

I think you should go to the hospital and get back on track,

Figure things out.

You need help, @LilyoftheValley.

You don’t tell us everything and I know other stuff going on.

Please get the help you need.

Talk to your pdoc and let them decide if your beliefs are outside the norm or delusional.

In the meantime, this post has been flagged and I havent decide if I should agree or not because its borderline, so if you post disappears, you know why.

Ok. I see her today so I’ll talk to her about it. Honestly, I hope I don’t have to change meds and that I can give my new med a chance to work. I’m on 20 mg of olanzapine so that’s the max one can take as far as I know.

Don’t APs become more effective after taking them for a longer period of time? I started on 5 mg a month ago, then the following week 10 mg, and the last 2 weeks I’ve been on 20 mg,

early on, generally they do…but i dont know the specifics of your med or timeframe of max effectiveness.

Yeah, I reallly think that the pdoc is the best idea. This way you are able to air your beliefs fully and the pdoc can help you come to a determination if any of it delusional or a legit religious decision.

Lots of people are highly religious but it can be treacherous waters for a sz.

My 2 cents.

Be careful and watch out for red flags.

Yes, I agree. I know this from experience.

One question you might ask yourself is : Are you obsessing over it? Is it all you think about?

But again. The pdoc can help you with this better than we probably can.
