Do you just ignore them? Or do you have some other method? I’m really trying to get back in shape. I’m tired of my delusions hurting me.

I would say if you know they are delusions try to ignore them if you can.
But, you sound like they are wearing you down to the point of not being able to function and if that is the case then you definitely need help. You need to see a doctor or get someone to help you get to a doctor.

Pretty much.
The further U are in recovery, the easier it becomes to ignore them.
I’m still trying to tell my delusions from real life. Once I can do that I can figure out how to deal with them .

Mine are difficult to deal with. I used to believe them 100% until I was on invega, that took away the delusion which made me realize it had to be a delusion.

I used to think license plates contained secret messages for me to decode. Since starting clozapine those delusions are gone. Still have the Truman Show Delusion and thought broadcasting delusions though.
How do you deal with the thought broadcasting? It tore my life apart …
I focus on positive things
Just realizing it’s all in my head. I’m seeing connections that aren’t really there. When you see these councidences you have to break it down.
How can they read my mind? On computers? How can you be around someone all day and not see them checking a computer to see my thoughts?
Why are you left out of the mind reading people?
You just gotta question what you’re experiencing. People like you and me have a chemical imbalance. That’s why it feels so real. Our brains are made that way.
I still have trouble with thought broadcasting, but little by little I am getting better by asking these questions.

It’s good to have friends and family who can ground you. Too
My bf tells me to ‘think about nice things’ lol, when I’m struggling
I don’t have delusions on my Zyprexa
I try to keep my mind occupied on things other than what I’m told are delusions. It’s not easy
I ask other peoples opinion on it. Those I know. I’ve had really bad delusions for almost a year now. People after me etc. I hope you have some peace away from it. Hugs
i need my delusions to feel like i matter… like i belong in society…

Like a lion. Run and defend myself. I.e. pay no attention to them and most importantly take meds. Because like a lion you can’t outrun them for long if at all. Meds are a stronghold to hide in from the delusions. Your protection.

If you know its a delusion you can ignore. If you get where you cant tell if its real, you need to talk to someone you trust. Thats why its crucial to have a support network of some kind so someone can help you when you are in need of advice.
