maddy232 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) So for the past 3 days or so i've been feeling like I must be jesus. Alot of weird coincidences have been happening, and ever since I was little I could think about something and it would happen that instance. I can hear people praying to me, even in different languages. The thing is, i'm not delusional. A counsellor once told me people who have delusions don't recognize the absurdity of the thoughts. I recognize this could be classified as a "delusion" to many doctors and such though. Oh well, just thought i'd share. Edited September 1, 2014 by maddy232 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianthus Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I think you need to share this with your doctors ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lexie Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It is possible to think things which aren't necessarily true without being delusional about them. I agree with dianthus on telling your doctors. This is probably relevant to your treatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
San Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's perfectly possible to have insight into delusions and whatnot. I agree with the others, telling your treatment team is important so it can be managed before it gets worse. If its hard to explain, print out what you wrote, or write something else out and bring it with you. That's been suggested to me and I find it makes things easier to talk about, and you don't forget anything. Let us know how you're doing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maddy232 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I don't see a reason to tell my treatment team, they take everything I say as a joke. I can't imagine what they'll think of this. I don't know when I see my pdoc again, but maybe i'll let my counsellor know next time I see her.

San Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm sorry they take everything as a joke. That's bullshit on their part, imo. I hope you can get taken seriously! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jt07 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Whether they take it as a joke or not, I'd still report it. I'm sorry they don't take you seriously. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
melissaw72 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 That sucks they don't take you seriously. But like others have said, I'd tell them anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
koa Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've had sort of the opposite idea at one point in my life... that I was the antichrist. Although now I consider that to be a delusion and can laugh about it. I'm glad I got help before I tried to harm myself. Anyway, I agree with the others that you need to share your thoughts with a professional. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CookieN Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I had the praying for me in other languages before. One night I was in my bed and I felt people gathered around my bed to pray for me. I couldnt see them only hear them. I felt they were some kind of oriental monks. I couldnt understand what they were praying. I didnt feel like Jesús or important though. I felt like the regular me, and even safe because they were praying for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Equivilency Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) I'm sure they won't take it as a joke. Make sure you tell your doctor. I thought I was Satan for awhile so I can relate. I really scared some poor medical staff members though with my thoughts Edited September 1, 2014 by dnautics Quote Link to post Share on other sites
