Does anybody here have delusions about the government?

Unusual Beliefs

I have this one delusion about the government. In the back of my mind, at all times, I have this belief that the government is slowly killing off me and all other veterans by putting poisons in the medications they dole out to us through the VA system. I believe that the Dr.'s, nurses and pharmacists at the VA have no knowledge of all this. It is ordered by the higher ups. I have watched too many of my good friends die or are now dying.

I deal with this belief by ignoring it because I have to take the meds they prescribe. I have no choice. I have no other way to get my meds. I’m just resigned to dying young probably.

I used to believe that public opinion was a trickle-down effect of whoever was in office. I still think that sometimes. But I think now that my belief was far overgeneralized.

It’s not true to say that the medical system/government is doing it though. There are other natural reasons why this happens.

We all seem to have a delusion or two.

But that’s all it is.

The meds you get come straight from the manufacturer. It would be impossible anyway to tamper with them.

Many of the meds I get don’t come direct from the manufacturer but come in VA bottles. They are generic drugs coming from the VA pharmacy.

Right. But they still come from the manufacturer. Someone just puts them into VA bottles at the VA pharmacy.

In order to tamper with the meds the VA would pretty much need it’s own manufacturing plant.

I’m sorry that some of your friends have passed away.

Nobody is messing with your meds.

I have plenty of delusions about the government but none involving my meds.

I used to think that just last year, I was a special agent in the highest reaches of government. I was a ground operative because of my sense of direction/orientation and wilderness skills, as well as my mechanical abilities.

I trekked into the arctic on foot and fixed some generator.

on your point about dying young, maybe it’s shared lifestyle factors of veterans. like the food or something, my brother is a vet, he used to keep himself in good shape so his diet didn’t show, but now that he’s out he’s starting to age quickly. he also drinks quite a bit.

I want to say something but it will probably just get cencored.

At one point during my hospitalization I thought the US president was going to come visit me. I guess that kind of sort of counts?

I was so out of it that I thought that the government was composed entirely of honest people.

Yes my delusion is that they work in our interest. Like fairness, proenviroment etc.

I probably have delusions about the government because I have no real idea of what they are doing. That is also true of everybody else. I also can’t figure out me.

When I was psychotic most of my delusions were tied to them and ASIO…the Australian version of the CIA.

It would be my primary delusions but thanks to meds I’m not too bad these days. My problems come with ideas of reference and paranoia.
