Letting go of delusion

Do they ever fully go away?

Part of me finds it hard to let go of, at the time they could be so real, and had me so confused. Almost a twisted form of grieving process.

I’m much more controlled on the meds, and I can let minor delusions go without much trouble, but the major ones I had when in full psychosis, those still linger, albeit that I know they can’t of been real

Delusions seem like sweet dreams we had and we cannot accept their illusory nature.

Not for me. 90% have gone though.

Right now I have no delusions or symptoms

it requires a reality check from someone close to you

who is not suffering. I’ve had several, and had to be talked down.
don’t be afraid to reach out.

It can or cannot be real, but in this world, I don’t always know the difference.

Reality checks don’t help. Nothing helps when you are immersed in a delusion

disagree politely

it helped me many times

I need Phil to tell me when I’m really off
if he doesn’t, I won’t know

And he persuades you just like that? Maybe they are not delusions

I’m sure they are

I count on a stable outsource.

Majority of my delusions are gone. I still worry about being monitored by cameras and recording devices but not as strongly. My fear that people are out to get me has reduced, as has my fear that other people are actually aliens. Meds has helped but I still have bad moments now and then.

There are times I’m completely free of delusions, there are times they come back when triggered. I too have had (or have?) a real difficult time to let go of the major ones and especially the underlying thought that I am a bad person and will be punished for that. At the moment I’m mostly fine though.

I am fine. Few voices, good mood. But still have the delusion that the mustache of Captain Beefheart is intertwined with my brain neurons

My delusions have been gone since November of last year. I went in with them and they never came back. The disease is still hard but I don’t experience delusions… not so far since then, at least.

Captain Beefheart plays some werid ■■■■, but it’s strangely soothing. He reminds me of Frank Zappa in a sense. Probably the mustache and weird clothing

I don’t know how to get rid of the spirit of his living mustache. Haha. I read what I wrote and sounds funny. But it’s true

I see myself as a visionist and some of our visions came true. Do some visions of yours came true?
In technology religion medication and so forth for example. I don’t mean to take credit as I just thought about it but haven’t done anything to take it into reality.
Or is it a delusions?

I wonder if irrational fear counts as a delusion. I do experience that.
