One time i used to believe i was a super genius. I told professors how amazing my genius was, and one month before graduating i quit because i believed all people in that college (including the professors) to be below me. I have no qualifications at all because of that decision.
Thats not the only time something of
consequence happened to me because of a delusion.
Has anyone else had delusions that had lasting consequences?
That’s rough, I’m sorry.
I had the same delusion. I told one nurse: “I could go to Harvard if I wanted to”
I believed i was able to do Rick Sanchez level stuff.
I’ve had grandiose delusions too, those are pretty common with the illness. I’ve been super arrogant before, I’d like to believe it was because of the illness as well. I’ve had a lot of persistent religious delusions. Meds and time helped a lot with all of them
Do you feel like you have a lot of insight into being ill now? Do you know you’re schizophrenic and recognize your delusions? That’s usually one of the first major steps to recovery imo
I believed I was better than others in a way. But I wasn’t really concious about it. It took quite a few years before I realized that my thinking was all wrong. One day new ideas came into my life and everything changed.
We are all equal. And I have been a much happier person since realizing.
Yeah but i used to refuse to believe in psychology for like 5 to 6 years. I understand the religious delusions all too well as i used to believe i was satan and after that i thought i was a son of Zeus.
Every time i went out to with friends i used to believe they wanted to kill me for some reason, one time a random dude calling outside my window was pacing around as if in stress and i was convinced the call was about me.
I had that in mid psychosis, I didn’t trust anyone, not even family. I think it’s a common theme in psychosis.
Then i suppose im lucky, because i have doubted everyone but my mom.
I believed that if i died there would be world peace and environmental restoration because i would become the singularity. It was really grandiose.
100%. one specifically caused me to burn all my stuff, even photo albums. and another one about the government caused me to not sign disability renewal forms which costed me years of disability income. another one i believed brushing teeth actually caused cavities so i stopped brushing and ended up with a bunch of cavities 
Im lucky, i know i have a problem wirh my teeth. My brain would have a hard one fooling me with my dailt staring at it!
The staring helps with at least getting them actually white and clean. All the breaks stay.
I do kimda understand tho, i kinda get it. My teeth are not reparable.
really sorry you had such delusion
thats the problem of delusion
patients believe them
more than that it had consequences
you should have "cognition " that mean whatever happen to you you should know your ill with these so called delusion after that you should stop any harm could happen to you
i think you can return to the university and tell them that your Mentally ill person and wish if they excuse and you would like to return to your study
Yeah, I have been banned from 2 stores near my house for being aggressive. I don’t remember the behavior, but I don’t doubt it.
As far as delusions of grandeur, I had a delusion that I was an amazing savant and had TONS of God-like intelligence due to that. I did NOT Tell anyone about it, but it impacted me for 9 years. I spent all day long… all day! talking out loud to brain scientists that were in on my gift and were going to help me ‘get it’. I responded to the inserted though communication with them. The talking out loud thing became an OCD. I still struggle with it. I think it is a result of having no one listen to me.
the consequences of all delusions is left over the brain damage that happens while we are delusional…just a fact…
I had some megamind delusions too. Very egotistical like thinking and behavior.
I had/have mainly religious delusions. Any time religion is talked about at length i go from uncomfortable to slipping into the old patterns pretty easily. They were grandiose in nature too.
