Has anyone here ever believed they had divine powers and could cleanse hell so people didn’t have to go there? Believed either they or somebody they loved was actually God himself? “Prophesied” very blasphemous things about God like say “Satan is more powerful than Jesis Christ.” You know, things that could only come from demon possession. Has anyone ever believed or thought they were possessed and there was no hope for them? Has anybody ever tried to escape from a mental hospital just because they read on a pamphlet, they can leave? Has anyone ever tried to escape via their hospital window? Needlessly paced around a Healthcare facility before? Had to be strapped down to a bed because you were so out of control? Ever been so scared, psychotic, and clingy that you’ve been refused mental health treatment before?
Had to be loaded up with enough benzodines to knock out a horse? Thought they were unloved by everyone?
Just curious how many of these people have done before.
Once had to deal with the thoughts Drew Carey from the game show “The price is right” was an angel, everyone in the audience was a lost soul waiting to go to heaven. The winner of the entire show was allowed to ascend, the rest had to wait their turn for the next show. I was believing all the dead waited for him, waited for their chance.
Hey man
These are all symptoms of schizophrenia.
I have not experienced most of them but saw them very often in psychiatric hospitals.
Better to cooperate with your PD.
I wish you become better soon.
I had to be given a shot (I don’t remember what it was, probably haldol) at the hospital because I was running circles around the nurses station talking about transcendence (I was manic. I have sza bipolar) and they put me in the isolation room for a few days
I’m definitely convinced I have psychic powers, but I don’t have much thought about god, angels and demons. Some of my voices are demonic though… I’m big into mindfulness, so I let stuff come and go a lot more than I used to. I used to follow everything down the rabbit hole. I’m delusional, I know. I don’t feel very loved. I feel like no one gets me.
I know what you mean @anon40973946 . I am finally getting good at not being drawn into the internal dialogue. My voices used to get my full attention, now they just roll off me like water off a duck’s back most days. I also practice mindfulness daily
So like a prophet. Hmm. When I “prophesied” it was quite blasphemous communication. Things only a demon would say. Was scary.
It wasn’t really that I thought I was God, but more like I had the powers of God and that my mother was in fact, God. It was quite an insane few months. Most of which, I don’t remeember.
Yup I found out I was schizophrenic since at least childhood. I got diagnosed schizoaffective back in 2011. Had to have my first episode for my family to realize what was going on. What I asked is from multiple episodes that I personally had.
