Have been able to overcome my Delusions - My story

Hello,

I have posted here many times about my delusions of persecution. I had visited a lot of Doctors and everyone one of them diagnosed me to have Schizophrenia and prescribed me medications.

I have however recovered from this illness without any medications. I used Rationality, insight and as the picture of my marriage became clearer I got better. I found out that my Wife was cheating with me from the first week of the marriage and the entire environment caused me intense stress which could have caused these delusions. My delusions of persecution against my parents were caused by this.

I am feeling better now.

I really feel that we need to give time and not jump into medications immediately. Many times Life stressors causes Delusions and once the stress is gone the delusions too go away automatically.

It’s possible. I don’t doubt it’s possible.

(Just to be clear, I know I need meds as my problems aren’t caused by psychological / social issues)

Some people do regain reality and we don’t know why

It’s quite a large number, like 10-20%

Delusions are similar to addictions. You know you shouldnt drink that 10’th drink or smoke that 20’th cigarette but you do it anyway.

For me delusions has to some extent been something I was partly aware of. I just couldnt help to become immersed anyway.

My “delusions” are from hearing about the American government doing things like what is recorded in this youtube video lol:

For some people you are absolutely correct.

I believe what you are talking about use to be called a nervous breakdown and many have come back from it.

That sucks what your wife did to you man and I am glad that you are over it.

Ive not only been single for 20 yrs but also celibate specifically for that reason.

You see im aware of my limitations and if I was to go through that I’d prolly be on death row right now.
