These are from my past, but I just want to be able to recognize them so that I can tell myself that I am having a delusion before I do serious damage.

Yeah, I think maybe a little delusional, honey. Not that becoming a yoga instructor or starting your own business is a bad thing but if it is all coming at the same time and it is jumping around like a frog in a sock, racing thoughts then probably not that healthy.
I think there is levels of delusion. Paranoia, is one of them. Well, for me it was. As for the ex boyfriend scenario......probably best to stay away from that one right now.
How are your meds and have you told your shrink?
Good luck babe......despite what you think you are doing well in recognising the possibility of being delusional.
