I had a peculiar delusion before I was medicated, I still sort of have it

When I was experiencing mental issues, I felt like if I spoke the word “Schizophrenia” that I’d be cursed or something bad would happen to me if I said it. I sort of experience the same issue when I type the word too but not as strongly.
I don’t really understand it but people probably find it a teensy bit frustrating when I don’t speak the word for sake of easiness in conversation.

Medication makes this less problematic but it still bothers me.

I don’t like to talk about religion at all and it’s okay. Religion was really bad for me.

Interesting. Sounds like something I’d dream up. I have a delusion which is probably common to a lot of people. I think my attention to an athletic event affects the outcome of the game. When I turned on the tv to watch the OU - Iowa State football game OU was ahead fourteen points in the first quarter. Suddenly Iowa State caught fire, and they beat OU. This week OU was twenty points ahead of Texas before I took notice of the game. As soon as I started keeping track of the game Texas scored seventeen points. OU barely held on to win. There are all kinds of little delusions you can play on yourself. The trick is not to take them too seriously.

I relate, just talking about certain things feels like something will be triggered up again. Sorry to hear it was bad for you though.

That’s an interesting delusion to have, never heard of it before until now.
Yeah, though it can be challenging at times not to take them seriously!

I think, if I watch a particular religious show, what I pray for, based on that show, will come true.

Sounds like OCD to me @Cipher.
Talk to your pdoc about it.
