Does anybody else have religious delusions

I keep having religious delusions like over and over again.

Not now, but one of my episodes revolved around around religious delusions. I ended up starting walking/hitching rides to East coast to get to Mecca. And I wasn’t even Muslim prior to Psychosis. :stuck_out_tongue:

basically all my delusions are religious

Not anymore. I’ve been pretty persistent in my spiritual beliefs. Like Sikh belief is that believers in God are themselves a form of Him, but severely limited. To me this understanding seems like an honorific applied to believers so that they are given better regard than non-believers. But it doesn’t mean they are completely honest and truthful all the time though, as if everything a believer does is of the highest order all the time.

The Messianic / Demoniacal extreme beliefs are just religious psychosis amplified by mania, depending on stress level (high stress lends itself to the demoniacal extremes, and low stress to messianic.) A level head doesn’t think of such extremes.

Ive had some pretty religious delusions as well. Not the nicest experience.

A big theme in my delusion is hearing people trapped in purgatory, or that I myself am in purgatory. It’s not easy to live with day in and day out. I’ve been in this single delusion for months. It helps to keep telling myself it isn’t true, no matter what I hear or see. No matter how hard it gets, there’s usually some little thing or another, such as meditation, prayer, or asking for help, that I can do to stay grounded.

I was atheist until my psychosis which was 85% religious delusions.

Yes, My delusions were involced with religions such as Buddha and God.

Yes - when I was first ill, I believed evil spirits were trying to infiltrate my mind. My mom triggered it off with her religion talk.

Nowadays I believe two spirits are up in my head.

And that the evil one Alien is trying to control me and place his thoughts in my head.

Also that he will take my bad thoughts spoken out loud to Satan and then Satan will harm me.

And Satan is trying to get into my body through my private parts. My husband says this is true so I don’t know if it counts as delusion.

Almost all my delusions are religion based because I grew up in religious home.
