Really my day has been both rough and good. My work day has been good and productive but I’m having a lot of delusional thoughts.
My husband is out of town for work and my kids are teens so I’ve been alone a lot. I think that’s made it worse. It’s just hard to focus on important stuff when you keep having delusions slip in. I am happy that I can identify them as incorrect thinking.
I’m sorry you’re having a rough time but I’m glad you’ve been able to be productive
Do you feel like your mind is searching for delusional beliefs to hold onto? Sometimes I feel that way and like how you describe. Knowing its illogical but the thoughts remain.
Rough days deserve a treat…a gift or a spoil…it will let the delusion fade as you focus on your treat…
I dunno, it helps me. It doesn’t need to be something big. I can do it with an energy drink…or a cup of coffee. Just a goal that rewards you for having a bad day and being victorious…
Idk about searching. My delusions normally involved an overlapping alternate reality where the people are identical looking to the people here but not actually the people I know. So today I haven’t been 100% sure which reality I’m dealing with. I feel like I’m slipping back and forth between the two. But I am able to know there’s only one reality and focus on that. Otherwise things get real weird.
Hmmm 
that sounds like a good idea. Now I just have to pick a treat. Maybe I’ll have my son bring home some cookies when he comes. Chocolate chip cookies and milk sound good.
Oof. Alternative realities delusions are the strangest. I used to think I was in one but functioning in a different one, and people were watching me do all these things that didnt make sense because they couldnt see the things I did
I used to think I was the one person that had access to 2 dimensions. My Pdoc told me that saying I felt “stuck between two worlds” might be the best explanation for schizophrenia.
I think you need to let your psychiatrist know that you think these things…you need something …you are delusional…I too used to believe people weren’t who they were but were identical to who I used to know…mostly movie actors and favorite musicians of mine. believe me…you are more ill than you think and soon might slip off the internet because of paranoia…please stay with us and let us know on your progress…!! @Alice
Thanks. I will talk to my doctor. I just hate changing meds. I don’t handle many well and the process is so aggravating.
