You are completely fine to analyze me.
My pdoc has never mentioned this diagnosis before except in passing and he has known me for ages. To answer your question, 3 years ago, when I had a psychotic break, I absolutely believed these things to be true. Now, however, I know in my mind they are not true but I still entirely worry that they are true. If that makes any sense.
On a completely different note, I read this post and then headed to bed without responding. My husband was just telling me today that I need to drink more water as I had vertigo today. I absolutely cannot sleep because it has occurred to me that the Holy Spirit does indeed like water and that demons are drawn from it. That's why he said that because he knows what I don't and is afraid to tell me for fear I will go off the deep end. Furthermore, since I have gained weight, I am more likely to be demon filled than I used to be. I have got to get my rational brain back before I balloon into a big ball of crazy. That's why I'm back on here.
Good luck on your dissertation.
