Yesterday,
I learned of a situation,
From the most credible of sources,
That very much played to the very core of my delusions.
It was a difficult conversation.
After it was over and I realized what I was in for,
I started freaking out.
Running this scenario through my head a thousand times.
I had to fully accept and come to peace with the fact that it’s not so black and white with my delusions.
I can have schizophrenia and there can be some odd realities.
Both can be true.
Must we see it as a completely vanilla norm or complete delusion?
I think getting more comfortable in the gray area might be the best approach.

I accept my “delusions” as true and then just get on with my day.
Most of my delusions revolve around the occult so that doesn’t really interfere with my life.

I have run into this recently as well as someone here sparked the basic parts of my old delusions by discussing thier own. It took me a couple days to completely shake it off.
Some stuff here can be triggering. ANd I’m generally a pretty stable guy.
The truth is that many delusions have a core of truth to them. These are the ones that can wreak havoc with our rational side as well, when you hear them, because there is some truth there.

I didn’t get into specifics with my delusions,
But I have before.
In the OP I was trying to say it’s not fun,
Still,
Some of us have to accept that grey area.
There can be elements of truth and also schizophrenia.
It’s a toughy, but that’s what I’m dealing with right now.

The old, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t out to get you.”
I figured that out about delusions a long time ago.

Ya, I have delusions too that feel real, but was told they aren’t real. They even seem impossible from my perspective now.
Kernel of truth I guess or people are just bat ■■■■ crazy. Even normies are crazy too. I don’t have friends anymore because of it.
