I no longer have delusions.

Meds and therapy. I repeat. Meds and therapy folks.

This seems in my opinion to be the first step in recovery. Admitting delusions don’t have credibility. They are just made up and could get you into trouble.

Delusions are so scary and so harmful, because when you are ill/not medicated they seem so real.

I’ve mostly always been able to logic my way out of delusions, and it scares me how others can’t do the same.

My ex had the delusion that a hacker was communicating with him through the blinks of his wifi thing, and that the hacker also sent him self-deleting messages on his playstation.
He also thought someone stuck him with a needle through his open window, and that people passing by outside were spying on him. And that his neghbours were clapping every time he did something wrong or out of the ordinary.

I tried telling him countless times how those things were not possible, but he just became defensive and angry that I wouldn’t believe him.

I never understood why he couldn’t see the logical flaws in his assumptuous thinking.
Nor how others can believe things that are clearly not possible.
I guess I can’t emphathise because I’ve never been that far out.

My delusions make total sense to me but that’s not to say others don’t get through to me too

My delusions don’t make sense, but if I’m far out, I can’t tell if it’s real

That’s exactly how i act off meds. I thought I was communicating with the NSA in drafts in my email. I thought they would send ads to communicate.

My erotomania delusion makes sense to me, it is the only delusion that I have to deal everyday…

As my love delusion makes sense to me, I believe that other delusions makes sense to them, even if it is other things like aliens or FBI or anything else…True or not it’s something that people have to live daily, so it might be sensitive and hard to open up and talk about it.
We have to respect them as we wish to be respected about our own delusions…

Agree they are ■■■■■■■ bastards to most of us, they only make our life harder…

I think rationalize this intrusive thoughts only makes it easier to live by and on that aspect this forum really helped me a lot :slightly_smiling_face:

My delusions make total sense to me. So much so that I doubt they are even really delusions.

I don’t believe my delusions now, but when I did, I thought my delusions were true and everyone else was out of their minds because they couldn’t see what I was seeing. Sometimes I got angry, other times I tried to explain more to make people understand. I was laser focused on and obsessed with my delusions. I thought I was some sort of genius figuring out the world’s secrets with the help of my “companions.”
