Unusual Beliefs

Hi there,

Firstly I want to tell you that I am French so sorry for my bad English.

I have been schizophrenic for many years now and like a lot of others, I had voices in my head and hallucinations. sometimes I believe that the voices come from some gods or deities, do you think the same?

thank you in advance for your answer !

A lot of our memebers have English as a second or even third language. Don’t sweat it.

Also, the voices are just from your brain. No dieties.

And,

Welcome.

sounds like hallucinations on top of a delusion.

Welcome to our little corner of the internet. Happy to have you.

I believed for many years that my voices were spirits and angels. I still question it, but I try very hard to tell myself it’s only part of the illness.

It’s a tough battle trying to stay lucid and have insight. Reality checking Is good.

Have a nice day.

It’s nice to meet you! Welcome to the forum! I hope you can find some degree of support here. :slight_smile:

I personally have bipolar disorder type 2, but have experienced psychosis in several forms. I don’t recall ever having delusions about talking to gods, but I have had delusions of grandeur where I’ve believed that I was a god of some sort or some important religious figure. I also tend to have “supernatural” hallucinations, which gets confusing since I consider myself a spiritual person and I don’t know if I’m perceiving my surroundings correctly or not. Do you experience similar things?

Voices are not spirits, gods, or deities. They’re just the due to psychosis

Everytime I prayed and heard God, I got psychosis. I take that hearing my priest is a sign of an upcoming psychosis. For me I think praying triggers these voices but sometimes I also heard them when I wasn’t praying so not sure, for sure its the voice of my priest at church. Once I heard many priests praying on me, its that time that I tried to kill myself with an overdose.

It was like if it was my funeral and priests were praying on my dead body before burrying me.

I think you can hear from dieties. I think God can heal people and I don’t think voices could do that.

21

I sometimes have voices who claim they are God. Don’t believe a word of it.
