Mmmm yep, I did suffer with delusions of grandeur, but fortunately it’s all in the past now.
Guys, I strongly hope you don’t encourage each other to persist in such delusional thinking.
I try to see myself for what I am. A mere human being, with many faults and limitations. I’m not happy in my skin, but I am at peace, more or less.
I believed I was a vampire until i realized it wasnt me who sucked.
That reminds me of when I thought a supposed enemy of mine was using the movie Batman vs Superman as an allegory of what was happening between me and him.
I believed that the whole ward was made up especially for me
I did too. When I first got there I had a feeling I’d been there before it was strange.
I made Fox Mulder look like a pussy. Try and do what he did without an FBI badge. It’s hard!
Yup a lower god and i felt all powered up i even had a hallucination that a cloud formed in front of me shaped exactly like an elephant voices told me that it meant something for the Hindu religion.
I also believed that i could talk to the one true god through the government. They had a screen that could see into the afterlife. Crazy times
I thought all the other patients were actors
I did too. Thought they were plotting against me.
I’ve had Christ delusions which is funny because I was an atheist long before I was psychotic.
Very common delusion. I wonder what % of us have been there done that.
No because the first thing I would do as God is to eliminate the voices in my head.
I used to believe that I was communicating with prophets of God.
Now I think differently.
In the depths of my solipsism,
my mind is the creator of all.
So, my mind is God
Been there, done that.
Not god per say but definitely something like the main character and everyone was hiding there “mind reading” abilities from me telling me in my head that it was true but always made it a point to never tell me the truth in person and I was just a bad person or over reacting about it that everyone could do it they just could contol it better or didn’t care about that stuff to admit it. I realize a lot of things started to contradict each other and that calms me down sometimes, brings me back to reality but my fears of judgment cause me to hear voices that I don’t know if I’m making it up or if it was the schizoeffective or, the worse, it’s actually other people and it would intensify my fears and negativities and I spiral until I literally feel like every negative thing under the sun(monster, crybaby, worthless, wh*re, you name it). I feel like the medications can only help so much but they do help and therapy has always helped too. I am trying to find what helps me on a personal level and come to found out talking about my experiences with others and others who can relate in general not only helps me realize my delusions are just delusions but it’s always comforting to be heard and know you’re not alone and that by sharing and communicating you might be able to help someone else who’s struggling. I believe that behavioral/mental issues have a lot of social influence that can be more rewarding when facing or challenging that social paranoia instead of constant isolation/withdrawal from it. Know when to take a break and recharge on your own but don’t get too comfortable. I’m not a doctor, far from it and everyone has different experiences with their delusions but that’s what I take away from my personal experiences. I hope that I made sense and didn’t drag on too long lol. Thank you guys for listening.
