does anyone here suffer from grandiose delusions? At 26 I was convinced I was the Savior. At 40 I was convinced I was God. Slit my wrist thinking I was saving the world. I’ve been psychotic and institutionalized. I’m 68 now and obviously not God (since the world hasn’t changed) I still entertain thoughts of having a special place in the evolution of mankind. Can you relate?
I used to think I was put on earth to save someone, just didn’t know who. I also thought I was here because I needed to learn something, and that the person I would save would teach me.

I have the grandiose delusion that God speaks to me.
Over thirty years ago, I had the grandiose delusion that I was the reincarnation of Florence Nightingale.
I thought I was the reincarnation of Jimi Hendrix and thought I would take the same path he did. I’m 25 and haven’t gotten known beyond the city I live in and I’m not doing anything as far as performing goes. only similar thing I’ve really done was create a unique sound that has his influence.
Safe to say that was a delusion. The reality is that we have similar minds (not necessarily the sz but just the fact that we’re both “different”). But I am me. That’s all I know how to be.
Besides, I have a feeling I will live longer than 27 years old.

Yes @far_cry0, I am telling you. I don’t know how but a saint (baba ji) said me "Narayan " on Facebook. You know that It is name of a God in Hindu. I replied to him a lot of time that please said me to my name. When I became strict than he stopped messaging.

Yes I’ve had grandiose delusions too. They are very difficult to shake off because they give you a sense of purpose and control.
In truth, we are all mere humans who fell prey to a terrible illness, and once we realize that, our true fight for recovery can finally begin
