Hi Andrea....it's nice to see you again.

I never used to share my delusional thoughts. I knew they wouldn't be thought to be "normal" so I didn't share them. My husband encouraged me to tell my therapist and doctor about them and I'm pretty sure it was the wrong decision but time will tell.

I have delusional thoughts pretty constantly and so do most people actually. My friend recently told me she wants me to tell her when I have them so we were talking on the phone and I pointed out a few of them and she seemed to understand and not understand simultaneously. Like I said, MOST people have delusional thoughts from time to time. It's not the delusional thought that is the problem, it's how much I care about it that is.

So an average day I will have lots of thoughts that could be deemed "delusional" but it's pointless and even harmful to have a doctor call me delusional. Sometimes though, I really CARE about the delusions and they take over my every waking moment and suck all that is good from my life. Other times I care too much but it's a delusion that makes me feel good....and as long as I don't lose touch with the world completely, it's not right for doctors to Medicate it away, nor has any medication been able to change my thoughts. Medication can help me care a little less about them though.

I'm sorry you deal with the delusions too. It's tricky business and adds a great deal of confusion. (((Hugs)))
