I had multiple delusions but I would have to confer that people being able to read/control minds was probably the most upsetting. Mixed in with this delusion was the belief that certain people could see through my eyes.
IDK…Like I said, I had lots of delusions, not absolutely sure this was the worst.
As far as how did I “logically” overcome it. I didn’t. Invega wiped this delusion and other delusions from me.
I only had one delusion, and that was that I was being mind controlled by more powerful minds.
Meds helped the most, take the edge off, but one day I started thinking okay, so I’m being mind controlled, not much I can do about it, and I stopped caring.
I don’t think I am being mind controlled anymore though.
I don’t know if I have had or currently have any delusions. I have hallucinations, some very graphic but I can usually figure out pretty quick what’s really going on. Sometimes I feel like my hallucinations are trying to tell me something but it’s generic things like, “this situation is good” or “that situation is bad”. I have made some of my decisions based on them but they were only the swaying factor after I considered the pros and cons which did not lean one way or another. Some of my hallucinations can make a situation more intense than it probably is.
I may have a delusion that I don’t know about because it hasn’t caused a problem… I don’t know. People are stating things as a fact that certain things they believed were delusions and they definitely sound like they were but what if I have a delusion that is really close to reality and I haven’t gotten into a situation where it has mattered? I’m probably just derailing the conversation at this point. I’ll move on.
Delusion of Grandeur was the worst till now, I was so scared when I used to realize in fraction of moments, and then go back to the delusion.
The thing I noticed is it’s just one focused thought not a diverse one.
It happened few months back.
I came out of it by engagement in other activity other the my condition related thoughts.
Phew lucky I am out of that thought.
I kept my mind busy in learning and implementing.
My worst one was when i thought i could move the sun and moon, it was terrifying, phobia about the sky for a while, i specifically thought i was satan because it happened after i read the bible. i don’t think i did anything to solve it, i already thought how we see reality through windows or points on a grid. so i can still get delusional but nothing complex like Targeted Individuals which is what taught me the windows-of-reality idea. “the map is not the territory” thing i got obsessed about for a while.
My worst delusion evolved out of believing I was a reincarnation of jesus - and so I brought elements of a scapegoat complex/delusions of grandure with me.
I ended up believing that an ex had been monitoring me ever since we met. That he was now a screenwriter for many popular Netflix shows (consequently written about me and to help me evolve into a better person), he is also a leader in technological development of mind reading and thought control, also his team controlled my body with drones and lasers and have my body hacked.
So eventually, I thought I was part of his sex cult and ended up in polyamorous relationships. I thought I owned houses, streets and towns that weren’t mine. I thought I was going to inherit money, houses, cars if I listened to the instructions in the media, in my head, and that others gave me. I explained this to my friends and family. Eventually I lost everything I’d had in my life that was worth anything.
I’m not fully disbelieving everything happened and still hold some evidence of some of it. I do however realise it’s unhealthy to go down this route or think too much about it.
It was my worst delusion because I split with my husband over it, and was prevented from seeing my daughter for a while. Also possibly important to add I’ve not been diagnosed sz…
