All of my delusions were paranoid and horrible to go through 
As I was going through them, they were real.

I am sorry you had to go through that. It was pretty traumatizing none the less but I had some good delusions which would’ve been nice if they were for real.
Such as
Being world famous… people following me around. The government planning things for me… It was a real fairytale at one point

If I properly understand the definition of a delusion, then my main one never seems to go away. No matter how many meds/med combo I’m ever on.

For a few months at the beginning of my episode the voices told me that I was a powerful psychic who controlled the universe. Basically God. Downside was everybody hated me because I was supposedly mind controlling everyone and they all were coming to kill me. I tried to do some reality checking by mind controlling a few people and trying to win the lotto by willing it to happen. Everything obviously failed but it did give me a ton of confidence for awhile there.

I know, right? I am a different person before and after because of the extreme highs and lows. No one should go through this.
Well I’m kinda too scared to say it publicly. I think the people who are interested in me read these boards.
My apologies.

My pdoc told me that my so called delusions could be real for all he knows. So, I’m set. I have certain religious beliefs.
I believe that my pdoc reads this forum and recognizes my name in my username. But, I don’t really care very much about that. Now, I’m starting to believe my piano teacher reads it too.

In a way, my initial episode was realistic. I simply wanted to replace the mother who’d sexually abused me in early childhood with the perfect mother – which to my idealistic imagination was none other than the Blessed Virgin Mary. So that my mission was to meet up with her on a UFO and be taken to the other galaxy that was my proper home – and the heaven away from this earthly hell.
Well, my therapist has helped me accept that my biological mother was not only abusive of me, but that she’s also, er, um, DEAD. That means that accepting all of the above means I am at last free as a bird, so now I can move on with my life and find some worthwhile friends and somebody to love.

I used to think my son wasn’t really dead, that the hospital staff just told me that and kidnapped him. I believed this for a long time because I would also hallucinate seeing a young boy that looked just like him (or what I thought he would look like as a young boy). I’m still not truly convinced, but thinking about it logically it does seem unlikely.
I would like for it to be true, though. Maybe then I would have a chance to get him back.

Regrets over the past are very hard to accept. Takes years. Took me 17 years to finish business with my mother. I empathize.

Delusions were always bad, horrific to me at the time in fact, not fun at all. Really it was like my grasp of reality was wrested from me forcibly.

Most of mine were/are not something I’d wish on anyone (well, almost anyone.) The one that was at times enjoyable is that I thoroughly believed I was meeting with Jesus at times. Wonderful conversations, empathy and inspiration from those meetings.
