Like, honestly
How do I know this?
Though sometimes I think I am sane and doing OK, while sometimes it feels like I am still delusional a bit.

If you have strange thoughts it’s best to reality check with people you trust.

I remember hearing the voice of my mom telling me things in my head. Then I asked her in real life. Is this true? She said no and then I was able to move on from that.

To me a delusion is a belief in something that doesn’t exist in any way shape or form. For me personally it could be me believing in some type of intention towards me personally. When in reality there is no intention towards me personally in any way. Or believing in some type of existence that doesn’t exist in anyway. Or even to complicate myself a delusion could be a belief in a reality that isn’t reality. My delusions to me are really something personal. Something that’s involving me personally. And I also get really complicated with myself. I think when I am the sanest. I don’t feel out of the norm with others. There is nothing extraordinary going on with me compared to others. And once again there’s nothing personally in regards to me which makes me different from the norm of people as humans.

You’re probably both. You can be sane and still have delusions. When I used to feel crazy, my mom would tell me it all boils down to functioning. You can be crazy as hell but if you’re functioning good that’s all that counts. You’re probably not a 100% sane and you’re probably not a 100% delusional but as long as you are keeping up with your hygiene for example and going outside and doing things then you are probably alright.

I think I’m ‘delusional’ because my beliefs are odd enough, not to be exposed.

I also think I’m sane. Because I’m highly functioning.

I also feel certain things are directed at me(car revving, people’s actions, stuff like that). It’s called ideas of reference and I’ve never been able to get over it completely. As far as strange beliefs idk. I don’t let myself go there a lot. I’m always plugged in or doing something. I’m numb and dissociate a lot from what’s going on around me.
