How have you overcome delusions of taking over the world?
I saw someone post that they moved to Germany thinking they were going to make him president.
I for one thought I was going to travel from Zambia to Egypt and win the Arab World Wrestling tournament, somehow proving I’m god. Luckily I got back on meds and did not attempt such a thing.
Please share similar stories and how you came back to your senses. I hope this doesn’t trigger anyone, it’s a very interesting topic imho.
The details are way too embarrassing to share. I don’t have SZ, my dx is BP1 because I have cyclical psychosis and it isn’t chronic. I had some weird grandiose delusions that didn’t involve world domination but long story short I thought I was a prophet that could communicate with trees. Eventually, this crashed into thinking I was the antichrist which ended up with being back on meds. It was an entire process that ended after 3 or so months. For me, it isn’t chronic and went through some changes in intensity and moments of insight sprinkled in. Even so, I wouldn’t have been able to just overcome my delusions without medication.
Very interesting, and thanks for the welcome! Sorry to hear you got antichrist delusions, those are so scary. Communicating with nature though, cool. I guess APs are not only for SZ, LOL.
I don’t think I’ve ever had delusions of world domination. Even when I was psychotic for at least 2 months, it was very apparent to me that I didn’t even fully control myself. If you don’t control yourself, what is the point of controlling others?
I guess this isn’t exactly world domination; but, it was only a few weeks ago that I thought the gauntlet had been thrown down in front of nearly everybody:
Either I was to discover the soul stone, whatever that was, or lose my whole immediate family to death and develop a grief-stricken personality.
Ive thougt i was the originator of the world (my dream) or that i was the most powerful super secret leader of the world and other crap but not really world domination
In one of my episodes id morph between myself and god. Then god would refer to me in the 3rd person just telling everyone that im just a winesack for his goodwill… then id snap back to myself and back and forth between the two identities
When i had the experience of being god it was very bizarre because i didnt think it, it just happened and I suddenly was that identity there was no question about it. I no longer existed. Like no one could talk sense into me that i couldnt be that identity.
Something like that. Thoughts like i said something like a threat online and then the cia started monitoring me 247 and in my sleep they heard me say the theory that was verified by the second smartest person in the world to be the solution to limitless energy and i had to be protected from enemy powers requiring round the clock secret protection … And so on
then id snap back to myself and back and forth between the two identities
