Hey, CJ - I’m editing your poll because you’ve made votes public, something that most people don’t see until they’ve already voted, and something that makes many people here paranoid and anxious.

Pretty much 100% spiritual. Even the ideas of reference and whatnot are spiritual related.

I stuck in my own delusion instead - delusional guilt, the idea that you’re causing people to get sick, suffer, die, that you’ve killed people or are responsible for tragedies.

Once 5 minutes have passed, it won’t let you change it anymore.

I guess 'being watched’
should have also been another choice

My main delusion is several of those combined, I can’t really choose just one.

same,

I guess if there is one that really sticks out to you then choice that one.

13

Ya, my delusion is several combined. Mind control, being constantly watched/monitored, believing I am the savior, blocked from accessing my ‘superpowers’…

It’s like a buffet for me and I have a little of everything on my plate.

Yeah I feel like I’ve been through the whole food line on this list as well.

But religious delusions/ a delusion about a person was a front runner for me.

number one for me is mind control. I sincerely believe there are a bunch of scientists at the University of Washington in Seattle (Yes, I have a specific place) that have the ability to completely control my thoughts, feelings and actions. Sometimes they let me just do my own thing but they can, in a second, take over and I will be scared shitless, dancing down the street or harming myself or whatever they decide.

It’s really terrifying.

16

Yeah that does sounds terrifying,
Hopefully things smooth over overtime.

My main delusion is related to a friend who like knew god/ me being possessed by witchcraft/going to hell.

Well at least it isn’t deVry university.
(Bad joke)

I was just laughing about something I was thinking. My brother-in-law and me sitting at a table, like the one for the Mad-Hatter and the Rabbit. Music from Anthony Robbins’ “Giant Steps” audiobook was playing. We were eating nuts, with him passing some over to me across the table. He was singing along to the song, saying, “And-you-will-ha-ave-yo-ur-nuts!” I’m still laughing about it. It’s pretty funny lol.

Hahaha :smile:

Even though I am paranoid quite often, I still have a sense of humor about it. I really believe my delusion but I also have some insight. Whenever I drive (on I-5) past Seattle and the UW Medical Center, I think “Those bastards are only a few miles from here looking at me and my brain on their computer screens!”

I know I am crazy. Even though it can be painful, it’s funny.

I hope your delusion smooths over too. Sounds like a disturbing theme.

The thing about delusion is that it’s not rooted in reality. It isn’t actually that way.

So do you think they are controlling your brain?
