Mine are just Bi-Polar sickos who can’t make up their own minds. :face_with_head_bandage::face_with_head_bandage::face_with_head_bandage:

Seems to be a bit of a common one. One thing that ties,“Normie’s,” and Mental Health sufferers together is a hatred of the Government. :joy::joy::joy:

My common delusions are about to control over the other’s thoughts. Its related to political approach. I think freedom of thoughts (not expression) is unnatural phenomenon. Because human in the society are jointed (invisibly) by minds.

I’m not sure. It’s a new main delusion every year. I’d say in the past it was thinking I was another being, a god of a made up world I created as a child. That lasted a good few years. Then probably the slenderman fear/delusion. Lasted a week in its most severe, and now it’s just hallucinations.

For the past two years I have this on and off delusion that I’m a cannibal or a serial killer. And grandiose.

My most common delusion is that everyone is constantly thinking of every woman ever in a sexual sense, at all times. I believed for several years that I was just a sex object and not an actual person. I also believed that every man who looked my way was thinking about raping me / taking advantage of me. I was always so worried and scared when in public. I felt so violated and torn up all the time. I thought most men were terrible rapists and that I could never be safe.

On a similar note, I was always delusionally paranoid that my husband was wanting other women. Once I started an AP medication, this paranoia went away almost completely. In reality, he’s the perfect husband; this paranoia had no real basis.

I also had delusions that people were listening to my thoughts and that I was being watched on camera all the time. I guess those are paranoid delusions, too.

I’m fairly certain the Mind Reading is a Serious Delusion most of us have. When you really consider It, how is it possible people would be linked to you 24/7 for years?
I. used to think the telepathy was real until I had that conclusion, plus the fact that 90% of what the voices discuss never comes to pass.

Have you noticed that there is a default delusion that always come back though it doesn’t work anymore like parroting on and off. I used to get pissed but now it’s not working anymore because it’s always the same that I learned to ignore.

my most common delusions are as follows.

  1. the world is going to end (doomsday, earthquakes, niburu, nuclear winter)
  2. I’m immortal (also sometimes the delusion that I am dead)
  3. controlling weather (and other magical delusions, however even I know as a witch that we aren’t THAT powerful)
  4. mind reading (I should clarify, for the most part its others reading my mind, on occasion it switches)
  5. People are watching/glaring at me. I stopped going out in public because I would yell at people because of this.
  6. My cat is a secret genius (maybe a dead relative) that spies on me.

I am grateful that generally I can convince myself that this is untrue. Only when I am very unwell I start experiencing delusional thinking.

somethings that COULD be a delusion however I believe true are

  1. Aliens (duh)
  2. governments are corrupt and evil (duh)
  3. war is a game played by the wealthy and powerful
  4. to a certain point we are slaves, and nothing is truly democratic
  5. ghosts and the supernatural are probably to a certain extent real (I don’t try and figure out what’s what though with my visual hallucinations)
  6. If somebody who knew about computers wanted to hack you, there wouldn’t be much to do to stop it. (good thing we are all super boring and there’s no reason why anyone would want to hack us)
  7. There are some police that are corrupt by power. Yes, there is also good cops, however I don’t trust the law enforcement.

Now these things aren’t a problem with me, however they could be a problem for you (no shame). I find when I get psychotic I tend to get much more upset about the second list (cops, corrupt government, ect) so I take a step back and stop looking into that stuff since I know it can trigger me if I am in an unstable state.

I’m comfortable in assuming that my NSA file concludes with “really really (f)ucking weird, but poses no threat

It’s how I know they’re not real, the voices spend all that time trying to convince you of things, you can actually trick them into agreeing with you and being nice by frying their programming. It takes a while.
