I thought that last thread was interesting so I’m reviving it.
Yeah I wanted to reply to it also. My delusions are over but the strongest one I had was like 6 months after onset, being told by the voices that I was going to die soon. I really believed it and planned for it, then when I got my insight back I realized how crazy that sounded.
About an hour ago I got home and there was this bird on the porch. It was making a ringing sound like a phone. True story.
My delusion is that I’m being messed with by someone to try and make me look crazy.
No. It was brown. The strangest thing I heard for a long time. The bird was ringing. It wasn’t the house phone.
did it look like that but brown?
I don’t remember seeing any yellow or white. But then it could well have been a black bird wearing a brown jacket.
I’m just thinking it was a mina bird, they make all kinds of sounds
Well I think most of my “visions” are ways to understand my life and the people I’ve met. I don’t think their delusions, as much as metaphors. I have complex post traumatic stress disorder which precipitated me in developing schizophrenia.
In saying that, I think most of the posts I’ve read so far I could relate too. Thought broadcasting, truman show, aliens, dragons(my fav), depopulation, gang stuff, creation myths (second fav). I actually don’t mind my visions, as long as I maintain my reality simultaneously. It’s pretty cool travelling as hydrogen meeting plutonium. I loved hearing how dragons want balance for mother earth and how they speak to her. The list goes on, its this huge story that’s never ending and always expending.
I love it when I become an angel. I’m so happy then and cars stop/slow down for me. I touch you and you will be blessed. I drink my coffee like it’s the blood of Christ.
I’m pretty sure a lot of people have this delusion.
My delusion is that I don’t hallucinate or hear voices. I hear a wooshing sound in left ear, right ear, or sometimes both ears. This can happen at almost anytime during the day when I am awake. These “wooshes” come at the most inopportune time when I am thinking of something that is distracting. For example, I thought my wife had a separate life and was in love with another man. Whenever I thought of this, the woosh would “Confirm” that this is accurate and true. I now know that this is not the case. Does anyone else hear these wooshing sounds or mainly voices?
Previously I thought I caused bad luck to anyone that did something for me. Currently I tend tp think that if I think of something bad it will happen.
Know this isn’t true and actively check myself when those thoughts try to surface. It’s hard because i truly believe it. No amount of telling myself is isn’t real changes the core belief even though I logically know it can’t happen. Doesn’t help that I actually have bad luck!
I still get the wooshes but with medication and therapy, I am productive. I can live a good life but still have the same fears and beliefs/delusions. I can just maintain them better. It is funny looking back at how paralyzed I was before my family got me the help I needed. It is not funny, but you know what I mean. I thank my family for helping me when they did.
Big one that never left me.
This life and all I suffer with my voices, all the visions, the confusion, is all a test. I’m somehow special, chosen, a prophet. The angels call me all sorts of things that I believed.
To what end? They tell me I’m becoming an angel, Bodhisattva, that I will be elevated to some position higher than the normal person.
It’s all delusion, madness I came up with in my broken brain. I have to tell myself that. I don’t want to be those things. I just want to be left alone.
I see old friends in my head telling me repeatedly to buy them cars, drugs, rent money, etc and if I don’t they will use witchcraft on me…
Yep - I agree with you totally. I still struggle with my thoughts and beliefs because they seem so real. Sometimes it seems hard to know when you are having a good day or a bad day. Just got to roll with the punches I guess.
