I woke up this morning completely convinced that my family are imposters. I’m well enough to know this is a delusion but it just feels so real!
Does any one have experience with this, or any tips to work through it? Even if you just tell me it’s all in my head, would really help.
I know it sounds crazy but my “parents” just aren’t my parents anymore
Omg I had something like this.
But for me, specifically it was of a certain kind of impostors
Wont go into details, in case I trigger trigger
But I can tell you, it is not real.
Mine went away.
It’s all part of that bloody disease.
Thanks @Zoe how did you cope with it? I’m worried it won’t go away on its own
Hmmm tbh I don’t remember if I even coped with it.
I have not prepared for if it happens again
Except
To remind myself,
This is not real even if it feels real.
Because, I simply don’t want it to be real.
That’s actually very helpful thank you 
You’re welcome Hannahbanana 
It’s definitely all in your head @anon2818416 . I thought something similar but not exactly the same when I was delusional. I thought my familys minds had been damaged through poison and their minds had been reprogrammed and they could be “interupted” by other people who could control them. So, I no longer considered them my family either. It was all a delusion, as is yours.
Thanks @Bowens . It’s just really scary, I’ve already almost lost my family to this illness once, I don’t want it to happen again
I experience the same thing. Thanks for posting this as it reminds me that my family is really my family.
I had this.
It didn’t last.
Okay, that’s good to know! Do you recall how long it went on for? I just want this to be over
For some weeks.
Then they were imposters.
Now they’re actors.
I’m not sure how to cope with that. Maybe if you have a prn you can take that. I hope you feel better soon
@Om_Sadasiva okie dokie. I see my pdoc in a few weeks, we’ll see if it’s still kicking around my head by then
@LilyoftheValley yes, I need to get my loxapine refilled, thanks for the reminder
During my first hospital stay I thought I’d been replaced by an identical copy of myself. Part of me still does. Also with buildings. Probably just anxiety and depersonalisation.
@NotSeksoEmpirico I’m not supposed to exist. I know that for a fact. I’m already dead
@HannahBanana I’m sorry you feel that way, but we owe it to those we love to carry on regardless.
Yes, exactly. Sometimes that’s the only thing keeping me going
Cotards delusion?
