The same exact thing happened to me. Weird coincidence. It was a film noir. It really scared me especially when the lady is talking to the man who is a detective and he is telling her that it’s just an illness. And she doesn’t have an illness. What she saw was actually real. I’m worried this is my situation too.

Wow. I literally just turned my tv off and came to post the same thing but when I opened the forum I saw your post… and the other comments in agreement of this. I feel like this definitely means something powerful.
I don’t think that “something” is that the delusions are real. To be clear, I don’t think that the delusions are real. Because it is dangerous to believe that they are anything but delusions.
I just- I don’t know but it feels important. Like maybe we are tuning into some message from the universe. A connection maybe… Or maybe it’s all just coincidence and I’m being delusional now by finding meaning in nothing. Idk. I will say that this is certainly a very strange thing.

I agree. Maybe it means that we should recognize we’re delusional and we’re in this together. Together we can get better if we support each other. Just because of a scary movie we can get better and realize that we are not that movie. We are just delusional about things in life.

Who do you talk to about delusions?
I talk to my therapist about mine but that doesn’t feel like enough. Maybe it’s harsh to say, but the doctor/patient relationship is a stunted one because ultimately every conversation is a transaction. It’s service. How personal can it really be? And right now, that’s the only support I have when it comes to talking about delusional thoughts. I just don’t feel supported by anyone else. Not by the few friends I have, not my family that’s hundreds of miles away and sadly not by my SO either.
Every time I talk to someone other than my therapist I get shut down. I get the cue to shut the f up when the conversation ends right after I’m told it’s a delusion and that none of it is real.
I KNOW they’re delusions. I KNOW. I just need someone to discuss them with so my brain will stop coming back to it. Over and over again.

I feel similarly. Luckily my dad doesn’t mind talking to me about it. My sister and mom do mind though. And my boyfriend just makes me paranoid. I don’t want to see a therapist for similar reasons. You can post here and I can help you with your delusions I think. I struggle thinking I’m delusional and oftentimes think I’m not. What helps me is realizing all of us have similar themes: the government, angels, demons, CIA, NSA, clones (in my case), and I think there’s a reason we all have similar themes: we’re delusional.

That’s a good point. I also realize that most of the time people just don’t know what to say to me.
It’s hard.

Feel free to message me if you want to talk. I have a few people in my life who don’t know what to say but most of the people in life talk to me about it. Sorry that you feel alone.

I doubt I’m a good person everyday. I keep thinking I was a terrorist.

I know being a “good person” is a completely subjective concept but… You showed me a great deal of empathy just now and that makes you a good person in my book. I hope you’re able to see that too.

Lol. I wasn’t expecting the outcome at all. It was so unsettling. I didn’t watch previews, because my oldest stepdaughter recommended it.
