I may have been delusional when I said my neighbours were harassing me and planted cameras in my house. However there is always a seed of truth to delusions and I know they were harrowing me
That’s why I got so stressed and delusional.

Not really. I believed cyclopses were watching me and I thought I was going to hell. Turns out there was not much truth in it.

Hmmm… I think there’s always a tiny bit of truth to some delusions but it then gets blown up out of proportion.
Like “my neighbours don’t like me” gets transformed into “my neighbours are working for the government and spying on me”
But a lot of delusions have no truth to them. At one point I was going to march into a mental hospital demanding to know "is there a serpent-man in the ‘alone area’ ? ". The ‘alone area’ in question was an imaginary spiritual boundary. So where’s the grain of truth in that? None. I was just completely psychotic.

None in alot of them maybe paranoia.
i think thats true. Usually people pick up on hostile feelings people cant help but express about them, and then other THOUGHTS can come in and blow it out of proportion. For example, your neighbours might talk above where your room is and obviously they are aware that you can hear them and naturally unintentionally express their true thoughts through freudian slips for example. But then VOICES can come in and say “they’re planting cameras in your room” to try to make you obsess over it all, and make your a nervous wreck and consume your mind. its best to do everything you can to ignore them.

Let me know when you find evidence of aliens using nanotech to revive dead humans as espionage agents for their colonization efforts. That’s when I buy into your theory.

Maybe there is some element of truth for some people, and not for others. Personally, i don’t believe there was much truth to mine. I believed people were watching me 24/7. That my house was bugged, my electronic gear bugged. That people were in cars following me. That people can read my mind. And on it goes…

Lol. Oh my God I’m sitting here laughing. Lol I love squirrels
I don’t have either of those for that exact reason. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
That is counter surveillance abuse
Uh, what? Just disable microphones in your devices if you’re not using the service.

I think y’all should be worried about sharing your credit/debit cards online rather than this nonsense …

I kinda have the same theory.
Ah the unknowngets us all normal or not there is truth in that and that only.
There’s no truth to my delusion that most men are gay. Is there?
There’s no truth to my delusion that the Veterans Administration is and has been trying to kill me for years and years. Is there? Hmmm?
There’s no truth to my delusion that my best friend secretly hates my guts. Right?
Etc…etc…
I think a lot of you would agree with all of my beliefs, am I right?
Maybe number three. I think many gay men I’ve met believe they can have any straight man they want. Maybe they just have big egos.
I know what you mean, but it’s more like you’re using evidence against yourself and the evidence I’ve had is very blurred and distorted in hindsight. It’s just like your digging for the next big clue, like you’re playing detective against yourself and it’s one big endless loop. The number one thing that helped me was my sleep, get your sleep pattern straight and you’ll improve I bet
Its bad to think that delusions have truth. There is 0 truth to delusions and thats why delusions are defined as false beliefs.
During my psychosis I believed I was a messiah and that miracles happened to me. I literrally thought I was Jesus and that my jewish teachers were trying to poison and kill me. I even attempted suicide because I thought I was eternal and I wanted to go to heaven fast. Its juste false, there is absolutely no truth in this and it makes nonsense. I am on Latuda now, Abilify made me hypersexual and made me waste lots of money through compulsive shopping. I was buying useless stuff which ended up in the garbage. Also taking Latuda at night before sleep made me feel better because I felt like a depressed zombie when I was taking it during the day.
Now I am able to work after swapping the Abilify with Latuda. Still struggling with negative symptoms though, will see if Lumateperone is any good for this in the future.
Good luck.
