Hey schizophrenic brethren!
So, i am generally completely free from psychosis for long periods of time. But i find that i have a weak lingering delusion that doesn’t cease. At the same time i can rationalise myself out of it and not let it consume me.
The Delusion revolves around not being human in some way. For example, i sometimes suspect that some others and myself are different in some way. Like being part vampire or having a fallen angel ancestor or something like that. I wonder where these sorts of delusions stem from? Maybe societal alienation? Or grandiosity? Or self hatred? What are your thoughts?

Not sure dude! Maybe a therapist can help you reach the roots of this problem. I’m glad you have insight though. You seem to be making good healthy progress

A delusion is a delusion. It’s a fixed false belief that you won’t give up even if many people could prove you wrong.
I’ve heard weirder stuff than that.

@POET thanks my man!
@77nick77 yeah true. Except it isn’t fixed. I kind of think that having these thoughts linger is intentional for me. I wilfully explore the idea. Maybe because i dislike humanity sometimes. And maybe also that post-psychosis depression that sometimes hits. Like missing the feeling of beleiving myself to be important somehow due to the delusions i had while unwell.
Anyway, i firmly think that the experiences we have while psychotic are tailored to us for reasons. Like having an overbearing mother during childhood and then hallucinating her voice while unwell or having delusions centred around her becuase of it. They dokt just randomly spring out of nothingness i think.

delusion in my opinion:-
these are thoughts you believe in becoz of so much reasons inside you
-becoz of feeling you believe in these thoughts
you may feel there are good characters in you or in your family so you feel that one of your ancestors was angel!
feeling that you cant keep it away from you ever never!!!
-you also feel there are evil characters in you to a degree you may consider yourself like vampires !!!
-not only feeling may be becoz of ideas group of ideas in your mind that started from long time
you believe them becoz you see them right becoz you think there is no mistake in them so you believe them but no one else believe in them no one else
so then the delusion existed becoz of these thoughts!
-someone who think he is great person becoz he intelligent , kind , ppl say we love you , his name is cool name , he is clever at school … group of ideas that made him delusion
Maybe societal alienation?
sure isolation from society make you very susceptable to these ideas and these feelings and thereafter delusions appear!!!
-of course this who feel one of his ancestors was angel he feel grandiosity , sure
Or grandiosity
-sure lacking of self confidence lead to self hatred and thereafter mental illnesses
thank you
