The thing about delusions is that

Often they can’t be disproven.

I have delusions that can’t be disproven so it makes me wonder if they are true.

So what if they sound bizarre.

Once a time ago, people believed the earth was flat and for it to be round was a bizarre idea until proven.

So it just makes me wonder.

Anyway I don’t want to worsen ppl’s symptoms.

So i will just conclude by saying that delusions aren’t necessarily true.

I’ve never talked about delusions very much here. I hate delusions. They’re almost painful. I hope yours go away.

Thanks Roxanna. Delusions are challenging to deal with. Especially when you don’t know what they mean if anything.

I also have delusions that are either difficult or effectively impossible to examine and logically disprove. This is common and understandable. This is just how it works. I would say that an individual subconsciously wants the delusions to remain and finds any way possible to cling to them, hence why they find room for ambiguity where ever possible.

In general, from personal experience and from what people here write, delusions appear where there is ambiguity of any kind. If I don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow and it bothers me, I will imagine myself a prophet who can predict the future. If there is tall grass in my yard that I can’t see through and it bothers me, I will imagine there is a monster hiding in that grass that waits to pounce. If you read carefully what members write on this forum you will see this pattern eventually.

That didn’t last too long. In ancient times scholars knew the world was round. This knowledge was merely forgotten in medieval times to later be rediscovered.

In short, what you experience is normal and common among schizophreniacs. Keep yourself grounded regardless.

So true. The things that still make me delusional are the coincidences I can’t explain. That ambiguity.

Yea the fact that some things have not been disproven is what tends to trap me in some delusions sometimes.

That’s why I try to do what I can to reduce risk of not getting ill again by relaxing somehow.

But that’s not easy

Lol I saw that thread you made before it got deleted, that was quite funny. :face_with_peeking_eye:

Glad I succeeded in making someone besides myself laugh. When bowens closed the thread and called it inappropriate I thought that was hilarious. Anyway it’s just an observation :thinking: i’m sure you’ve noticed the same thing yourself

Oh well, just what I’ve seen. If you don’t see it then ok, it’s just what I’ve noticed. I’m wrong about a lot of things so if I’m wrong about that it wouldn’t surprise me :confused:

yea don’t feel bad at all, you were just speaking your mind. Fortunately I do not get uncomfortable about things like that which is why it was probably deleted though.

Sometimes delusions feel like a weird logic puzzle.

Like, how do you convince the man in the institution that the number 2 isn’t everywhere.

Then you ask does he live in a fascist state where psychiatrist are used as a strong arm?

Is the man just crazy?

Or does the man just notice patterns that other people don’t see?

Idk. I’m better off just eating corn chips and bean dip.

:wink:
