Interesting, Copper!
I have a lot more "bizarre thoughts" than I do delusions. Sometimes they grow into delusions, but usually not.
I also have delusions that I completely don't recognize until way after the fact. These delusions usually concern something that is plausible, not as strange as the stuff that I have insight into in the beginning. When I thought I was a demon, I knew it was weird. When I thought that my pdoc could barely stand me and thought I had a personality disorder and was attention seeking, I didn't question it.
I had strange delusions that I didn't catch at all, even in the beginning, before I was dx'd and knew what bp was. I think now I've trained myself to "be on the lookout" for anything weird.
