I think I might be in trouble with my unusual beliefs. I believe them to be true and my sense of self worth seems to be based on them. My unusual beliefs are very important to me unfortunately.
Please try not to discuss what your unusual beliefs actually are in this thread as it may trigger others.
@everhopeful Good thread! My beliefs are important to me and I can’t shake them even with antipsychotics. I think there must be some truth to them. It plays on my mind a lot.
I voted “not important”. My unusual beliefs cause me a lot of distress.
I have enough insight to know that the thoughts are not logical, but I still can’t shake it. I feel like I am battling my own mind, trying to prove to myself that what I think or feel is not rational or logical. Part of me has anxiety about the unusual beliefs, and the other part of me is trying to convince myself that it doesn’t actually make sense and to just think clearly. But I can’t think clearly.
It’s just a never ending battle of my purposeful thoughts fighting the delusional / irrational thoughts.
They are not important, some aspects are but not most of them, however I post them here to remind me that i’m not the only one that has go through that kind of situation, kind of like a journal or something like that, I don’t even share that much now since I think one thread got closed because of me.
