Do you still struggle with delusions that can't be proven to be false?

I do. It’s only a minor part of my mind but it’s a major delusion.

Let’s maybe not discuss what the delusions are because I don’t want people to be triggered or get new delusions planted in their mind.

There’s two.

One of them I hope is not true. And like to believe is false.

The other, I don’t mind if it’s true but thinking of it as possibly being true is annoying cos it’s such an out there belief to ponder upon.
And sort of makes me feel alone in my thoughts.

Kind of yeah, but i dont know if its a delusion and i never want to tell the psychiatrist because theh dont ask. And. He probably would say i imagined it. Theyre all dreams i had which i felt were spiritually significant

So yeah, i do have delusions which i dont know how to disprove :melting_face:

are you taking your meds? your insomnia could be triggering your delusions…staying up all the time is also a sign of psychosis…I would work very closely very soon with your pdoc to sort this out…a change is necessary I believe for you.

Do they bother you at all? Or do you not mind them?

Thankyou for the post.

I’ve had this ever since psychosis it has always been there since then. One of them from 2016 and the other from last year.

I think it’s quite common for delusions to stick around sometime.

And yes sir am taking mee meds :), thanks for checking.

Confusion because you don’t know if it really is true?

My first one does sort of irritate me.

The second one I don’t mind at all except I feel I can’t tell anyone and I really hate secrets.

First one I’m just trying to make myself believe it’s not true. Although the psychosis suggested it was. Multiple times. I try to think, no. Lol.

Second one, I just kind of think, OK so it might be true and if it is, that’s cool. Though I do have insight to believe its unlikely… But just watttt ifff.

I had a couple of paranoid thoughts I considered recently. My experience has been that it’s very difficult to convince someone who is totally dedicated to their beliefs or actively psychotic that there beliefs are not true, but when you are on the fence or wanting not to believe these types of thoughts, it’s helpful to get them out to people you trust to be honest with you about them. Their input can sometimes reassure you that they are what they are and just aren’t true. This helped in my case recently. Hiding them only allows them to fester and possibly solidify, IMO.

Yes thanks for pointing that out.

Maybe next time I see a case Co ordinator I should bring it up. I don’t like talking about it to too many ppl it makes me feel uncomfortable cos it’s disturbing experience the delusions and accompanying hallucinations. I’m happy to hear it helped you recently doing that thou :sunglasses:

My biggest fear is reincarnation.

Now over the last week I’ve developed a disturbing unusual belief about it. I’m struggling with it at the moment.

Naturally it can be disproved.
