Do they completely take over a life, making it plain for everyone to see that you’re in trouble? Or, are they more of a hindrance you try, and to some extent succeed, to hide from others?
When Iḿ psychotic they make it plain and clear for everyone to see I am not well.

That makes sense. Yesterday my pdoc confirmed that I was “psychotic” but that I’d acquired over the years some considerable power of dissimulation, but then again, my so-called “delusions” (I’m not human, I co-created the universe etc) are not exactly calls for arms.

Of course you co created the universe.
Every mind projects a universe of its own.
I think that’s common sense, not unusual belief.

Depends on the delusion. Anymore they’re usually minor inconveniences. I don’t always know to hide them until I see people’s reactions, but 🤷.

WHEN they happen it’s like a powerful force has taken control of my mind which makes it very frightening. But when I have insight it all seems a big joke. It’s very scary though.

It depends. Most often, it starts out with no insight. As it progresses, though, sometimes I have insight.

They are enough to make me cry and have a panic attack. Like today I was very paranoid and couldn’t hide it from others.

Fair point, but by co-creating the universe I meant co-creating the ‘only’ universe.

Religious delusions here, spirits who watch me and talk to me. The dead and angels. They’ve become part of my faith, and have taught me secrets.
I’d say fairly overwhelming

I rarely think of anything but my delusions. I keep that information to myself, though.
