What is your delusion?

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.

did it look like this?

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.
