I was thinking a worry negative thoughts about something you think might happen in the future, it can be just a worry or it can be paranoia. A delusion is something that u think is happening now but isnt but u can worry about it.
Example…being worried my cat might be being cursed by someone in the future (paranoia?)
Being worried my cat is being cursed by someone right now if they aren’t but im sure they are (delusion?)
Is this correct?
To me distorted thoughts, paranoia, delusions blur together.
Yeah I’m having a hard time telling the difference and trying to understand it
Me too. I am worried about my dog right now and I think that something we are planning in December is going to kill him. I don’t think it’s a delusion, paranoia, or distorted thought. I just know this is gonna harm my dog.
Same. Im worried that a witch has cursed my pet and they’re gonna kill em. I’m afraid this witch could hear my thoughts and didn’t like my thoughts so theyre trying to punish me. I hope it’s a delusion but its torturing my mind
I think our paranoia is not based on reality but it doesn’t stop us from suffering fear and anxiety and sadness of possibly losing our pet. I had talk therapy about this today and I still can’t shake this off.
I don’t think your pet is going to be harmed. I hope mine isn’t either. I’m hoping there is a possibility my dog will survive past December.
