Something I find about my delusions is I feel more intuitive and connected to the
truth when I believe in them. When I start more so thinking I’m
psychotic and schizophrenic, I actually feel less sharp and in touch
with reality. My delusions just feel intuitively true to me and I feel
more “right” when I believe in them, versus “off in the head” when I
don’t.
Do you feel more “off” when you aren’t delusional?
Is this normal? Does anyone else feel this way? Or, is it more like,
when you become undelusional you just feel less insane and more right in
the head - like, “I’m finally seeing straight”?
What is it like for you when you’re delusional vs. undelusional?
Thanks for the response! Follow-up question: for me, I shift between delusional and undelusional depending on how I’m wired to perceive the world, sort of. Like, sometimes my perception of everything just shifts into a different mode and I start feeling like my delusions are unrealistic, but at the same time, I also feel less intuitive and in touch about everything in general. Is it like that for you? Or something else?
yeah… kind of sucks actually… I’m not used to a normal life experience at all… just makes me ponder about the psychosis when it sets in and which eventually brings belief in my symptoms back… strange bs…
