I had a delusion that the world I live in was the afterlife. This was after having a delusion that i was in a coma in a hospital bed and that when i “woke up” i would have woken up to the “real world”. Death in this world would have been an awakening to the worst pain in my life.
When I was first hospitalized I thought I was in the afterlife for quite a while.
Sort of I felt like I could see but not think
It’s a scary feeling. It feels so real going through it. And the voices convinced me of this. I actually have sza but now i’m experiencing residual hallucinations and really bad intrusive thoughts. The voices get mean with me when i have an intrusive thought. Sometimes they speak my intrusive thoughts. It scares me.
The scary thing for me was realising it wasn’t true. I.e. when I started becoming sane again.
The best thing you can do is report this to your psychiatrist and also tell them that it’s a bit frightening.
We’re at the mercy of our meds really. If they’re not working we either need to increase the dose or change them via our psychiatrist.
Keep fighting the disease.
During psychosis, I thought I was devoid of life force, like a ghost with a meat body just going through the motions, all the while life was happening around me, but not to me. I felt somewhat undead. I don’t remember it that well, it was 12 years ago.
