There is a book on Truman Show Delusion by Joel Gold, but I can’t remember the name of it. The book features many examples of the “Truman” delusion. That type of delusion has been around since the 1800’s, long before the “The Truman Show” movie. I have had all those delusions. That I was Christ (my name IS “Christ”, in part) that I have a special connection with the Universe and that She loves me most, that cameras are in my eyes and microphones in my ears, that satellites are watching me, that there is a website featuring my life. At one point, I thought I had been captured and was on another planet with English-speaking aliens.
I STILL very much believe that the Universe is alive and that She has shared special messages with me, but I don’t think about all the other stuff. I am 100% functional except I am tired due to insomnia from getting off Xanax 5 months ago. Other than that, I am good. I haven’t taken meds in over 8 months.
You sound like an interesting fella. You can’t have the truman delusion without the jesus thing i don’t think. The good news is that (hopefully) nobody actually saw us proclaim to be the messiah
During the time that I thought I was Christ returned, I went to visit a relative in another state. She took me to church, and it was just my luck that the preacher pointed at ME in my pew and said; “God has special plans for YOU!” I’m sure it was just because I was new but, at the time, it was absolute confirmation that I WAS Christ. The crazy things that went through my head.
I had it before in the early years of my sz which was a lot of solipsistic delusions including truman show being the centre of the world. As i got older i became more disorganized and the delusions became more paranoid
If i had to have a theory about it it would be that the brain makes a simulation of the world for perception but confuses that simulation as being reality itself. Everything in your minds simulation is about you in truman show so i guess the simulation your mind makes becomes the reality everything refers to.
Interested to hear what your increasing delusions were. Is there further commonality in “delusions”? Are you real, or a plant? I doubt the majority on here are experiencing schizophrenia.
I’m also sure that our messages are all intercepted. Even if delusions aren’t real, which I doubt for mine, it pays to know what the schizophrenics are thinking.
In my opinion, online is a fruitless endeavour, as you are already on “the list”
I’m thinking that a taco would really hit the spot right now. And some churros.
I’ve seen the kind of gibberish that gets posted here. I seriously doubt any sane person cares. Seriously.
We’re all entitled to an opinion of course. No two ways about it
It is of course fun to communicate with our handlers
It’s hard to handle a velociraptor. I saw Jurassic Park and it didn’t work out too well for those guys
Um, whut? I’m being handled??
Inappropriate touching!!
Hmmmmmpphhhh.
So, logically thinking, you don’t believe that a societal “problem group” are monitored?
The ones who like to make kids wear suicide bomb vests, yoobetcha. Pretty sure the NSA isn’t worried about how much time I spend watching cat vines.
Oh no! THREATS! INNUENDOS!
Hi guys. So wonderful to be acquainted
Can we have a logical discussion please?
That sounds really boring.
Oh look, ankles.
L8Rz.
Threats and innuendos? I was joking. We don’t have handlers. We have doctors and therapists and loved ones that try to help us. That’s it. Nobody outside of them cares at all about us.
A logical discussion in this thread seems like kind of an ironic statement.
Talking about people being “on the list”, and some of your other comments sounds a bit like “Targeted Individuals”, a concept that we do not allow to be discussed here. Getting close to shutting down this thread.
Thanks, @Bowens . I’m not looking to make people more paranoid of course.
