I was last hospitalized in about Jan 2021 and, since then, my delusion has lifted and I am depressed because I wanted my delusion to be true 
I have to go on with my life and live with the reality that my delusion was never true and that this shitty reality that I live in is real.
Sigh…
Most of my delusions revolved around being poisoned all the time, so I was glad when mine lifted. Although there were certain parts of my delusions that were good.
Mine is (almost) all good. It’s a delusion of grandeur about fame, wealth, power, world salvation and love. I’m sad it’s gone. I still believe it a little bit though. I have too much ‘evidence’ not to
It’s better for you in a long-term to live in reality than delusion. You could hurt others and yourself if not
Yeah, I understand. It’s just hard.
I know the feeling of wanting your delusion to be true. It felt so intense and I felt so alive, while I was delusional. I also have post psychotis depression. I don’t know how to help it.
I feel exactly the same way. Things were so perfect in my delusional world. I also have post-psychosis depression.
May I ask what your delusion is? Mine is that I am an Epic Savant with super human gifts and it is my destiny to save humanity.
I don’t want my delusions to go away and be false either. I’m comfortable with my own reality, not hard cold reality out there
My delusion was that my ex and I were destinied to be together and have a child together, who would be very famous and change the world. I believed that the universe had brought us together to fulfill that destiny. I also had some ideas that we must have been the reincarnations of Tristan and Isolde.
I guess it is not a bizarre delusion, but I felt very empty when I was medicated, and realized that there wasn’t going to be a famous child, and that faith had not brought us together, and we didn’t share Any past lives together. That it all was just random.
It was a very mysterious time of my life. Sometimes I completely lost touch with reality, Sometimes I could see everything clearly. But I didn’t want my delusion to stop.
I thought I was gonna be queen… more than anything I went through a depression where I feel ashamed… its really embarrasing.
Bipolar psychosis is often embarrassing when it’s over.
Yeah. Me too. I thought (still do, on some level) that I was Queen of the Universe and destined to eradicate evil in mankind. It’s really hard to ‘come to’ and realize it isn’t true. I suppose the reason I am not in more pain is because I still believe it to some extent.
What was your delusion??
Maybe you can make a name for yourself still! I believe that most mentally ill are talented in the arts such as music or abstract art.
One typical example is Syd Barrett, guru guitarist who guided Pink Floyd’s work. He was schizophrenic.
Most of my delusions are likely to come true soon, thanks to Elon musk.
My delusion is that I am connected to ‘particles’ in the Universe that give me amazing gifts like math and martial arts along with telepathy and telekinesis. I think my ‘powers’ are being hidden from me to be revealed at a later date when the ‘brain study’ (also human behavior study) ends. I believe in the Big Bang and I believe all things and people are connected via micro-particles. Even thoughts (which includes skills and abilities) are included in these particles and I am connected to ALL of them. Oh, how I wish it were true. I would own everything in the Universe and be immeasurably wealthy 
Mine was that I was a genius and would solve a famous math problem.
Yeah, me too, except I am a genius in every subject, according to my delusion. IRL, I barely know junior high school math 
I dropped out of high school.
Are you really good at math or was it only the delusion?
I Mean sometimes it makes sense why we get the ideas.
