I'm so enthusiastic about going to India

I recently found out I have £4000 in my appointee account.

I have been wanting to go back to India since the last time I there which is 9 years ago now. I want to go to Kerala this December for one month. I have the means now! Kerala would be a tester before I travel up north to Varanasi so I can cleanse my soul in the river Ganges. I am very apprehensive about going straight to Varanasi, it would mean a lot of planning and travelling. Kerala would give me the confidence.

The thing its in all my medical notes and hospital section reports/tribunal reports it says that going to the Ganges to cleanse my soul was a delusion on my part and that I said I must sacrifice myself to release all my positive energy and save the would. I know this was a delusion but I think this could stop me from going?

I want to add it isn’t a delusion anymore and I have no plans to hurt myself. I do want to be cleansed though.

Do you think in light of me having delusions around India in the past and a chance of hurting myself they could stop me?

I am very enthusiastic, I feel elated about it. I do actually feel positive thinking about going. Its brought me out feeling dissociationed from the world and gave me something to look forward too.

Do you think I should approach the subject and not even mention the Ganges, just concentrate on Kerala?

How can I reassure them?

I would discuss this with your psychiatrist or therapist.
It sounds delusional to me.

What is it about India that you like? If it’s religious, then I suppose everyone will discourage you due to issues. But if you believe it’s something healthy, then maybe you ought to go?

You should have realistic believes, going to india to “wash your soul” sounds like a delusion. Don’t have big expectations. You made be disappointed
