How do you deal with this delusions? Did they pass o they still linger?

I can see that nobody else believes my delusion. By simply reasoning with people it now seems utterly absurd. I only have mild schizophrenia.

Yeah I tried explaining too. Some people think I hit “The truth” about life. I don’t, it’s a delusion.

Yeah, I thought that I was a Sun God for a while - A direct descendent of RA.

I also thought that I was Jesus like and compared myself to Him.

I had all kinds of Special Powers - from communicating to the dead, healing abilities, telekenesis, psychic abilities, visionary, etc… I was all powerful and all knowing.

It all dissapeared when I started to get on Antipsychotics - I do not have this problem with Risperdal.

Its been around 10 years and more that I have been Delusional free.

I’m glad you’re delusions free.

My delusion doesn’t fade. I know it’s not true, but my mind still comes up with all sorts of explanations to the delusion.

Maybe you need an adjustment to your meds - Grandiose Delusions are common with Mania many times.

When I was 11 I thought I was god/Jesus for a bit.

But people, do they pass? I’m tired of this fantasy, I just want it to be over :weary:

My feelings of not being human will never pass. I am not at home on this planet. I will be at home when I’m reunited with God and have my true form. I feel trapped in this body and uncomfortable with physical objects and gravity, etc. But I’m here for now and living pretty normally. I just feel like I’m “under cover” all the time, and only the most perceptive see me for who I am… It’s a walking the line kind of thing I think… :blush:

I’m sorry @Hedgehog, but talking about this made me realize that I really don’t want to live deluded. If you do, it’s fine. I don’t like feeling I’m not human, because I am. And so are you.

I believed that I was chosen by God to cleanse this world with flame. To slaugher sinners and bring about the apocalypse.

I do not believe this anymore.

I still get figments of these thoughts from time to time, particularly when I listened to songs that trigger me.

Here’s one:

It’s amazing isn’t it. Quite embarrassing as well.
I had to completely isolate to come back to reality. I still catch myself googling certain events like, “well, but it must be a sign; the circumstances were impossible for it not to be…” and such. UGH!

Yeah, embarrassing, and frustrating.

A psychiatrist that is a friend of my mom said my mind will come up with these explanations for as long as I need it to.

An example, I’m on biology class and the teacher is talking about cells and oxigen, and I think “I created this” lol… Seriously, sounds dumb.

Once there were storms that ripped through Illinois during a Beaver Moon. I knew that the Iroquois Confederacy was formed during one. Well the storm/tornadoes demolished Washington, Diamond and Coal Illinois.
I believed I was chosen by my native ancestors to restore Washington DC. From coal to diamond right??
That set off an ugly turn of events.

I almost never talk about some of my delusional thoughts. Complete embarrassment. Not sure why I posted in this thread.

Well I’m glad you guys did, I feel less alone. I though I was the only god here, no one ever talks about it.

I get it though, we want to keep it to ourselves… It’s less sinful I think

I wasn’t trying to defend it @Minnii. I’m sorry if I came across that way. I know you’re right. I am just beginning to express things I’ve kept to myself for so long, but I never want my expression to offend anyone. These beliefs of mine are so deeply embedded, and are also intertwined to an extent with my faith. I really would like to sort through it all and have reality and faith balanced. I can’t imagine feeling differenty, and that’s what I meant, but I want to now the truth.

Yeah I get it, I’m sorry too. I’m a little grumpy. The thing is I remember a time when I didn’t think about this, it was simpler. I didn’t feel I belong either but not to this extent. I think I want to be normal. That’s why I’m willing to accept this delusion. I just woke up tired of it. I will up my meds or change meds if needed, but I want this out of me.

I was a prophetess with the gift of healing…
