Religious Delusions

Does anyone here have them? I used to have delusions I was the Jewish messiah. Does anyone else here have a weird delusion like that too?

Yes, I have had them, powerfully so, full of disembodied voices and tactile hallucinations, too, telling me and causing me to believe I was an incarnation of Christ. Never told any but my therapists about them before. I finally felt validation in how common they are when I read here that others have also experienced them, though I am sure details of actual experiences differ. My shrink said such delusions are quite common. Also, I read “Surviving Schizophrenia” and, if I remember correctly, it is a classic symptom/manifestation of schizophrenia to have similar hallucinations and delusions.

I’ve been a martyr and a saint, and everything in between.

Now I’m just a human being.

I had a period of time that I thought I was Christ returning . It lasted about six months, they changed my meds three times, third time worked on the delusions.

Religious delusions are pretty common.

I had some in the first year or so of my SZ.

The Jesus delusion is a popular delusion, and I had that one, and a Muhammad one, also.

I thought I was a demon and the source of all evil in the world. I thought I was going to bring about the end times
